I am new to the FC world and i just wanted to say hi.

I always wanted to have an RX-7 and this TurboII will be my project car.

I hope that through time i will be a valuable member of the 2nd gen forum and the rotary community in general.

Check out the video of my car in my sig.

Awesome 1st post welcome to the forum . Just to let you know this forum has a very good search feature and most of the popular topics have been cover a “couple” of times. What are you plans with the car (drag, auto-x, road race, drift, general street car)?

I see you have over 990 posts already, what kind of equipment were you terrorizing the streets in before? Fb or Fd?

A drift RX-7 is what I am aming for.
I used to drag race an N/A european car but i got bored of it. Whoever has the most money invested in his car, is the fastest.
In drifting- grip racing the driver is a key factor in the equation.
I just want to be a better driver with my RX-7.
I have FD knowledge (explains the posts) and wanted to have an FD but my car is as good as it gets and i am very lucky i got it.

Welcome to the wonderful world of FC's. Since you've obviously been posting here for a while, you know the basic things not to do. From my limited experience (making lots of sideways turns on my near-bald tires) and vidoes of others, FC's make great drift cars. And even if they didn't, theyre still incredibly fun to drive. There was a great video of Chris (Carx7) and Jrat's cars at a drift meet in Arizona that was posted a few months back. I can't find the link, so I'm not sure if its still available. Anyway, keep us posted on your drift experiences.

I'm new too, but no prior experience with anything else =D But have fun with it; I think you'll find FC's have a lot more of a "fun" factor than most other cars. Plus rotary owners are all pretty friendly.

Thank you guys for that warm welcome.
This forum is one of the reasons i now have a rotary powered car.
I 'd like my experiences with the car help others too.
I know some basic stuff about the rotary FD mostly, but i don't have prior experience with the FC.
Do the FD rules count here too?


I work as a web developer in 4 automotive magazines so a guy from the performance-tuning magazine took the small vid
without even letting me know.

explain these FD rules

If you mod more than intake, dowpipe, catback the ecu needs tuning especially if you install a midpipe.
Bigger radiator, porting wastegate, boost, water temp gauges, turbo timer, boost controler....(not with that order).
