Talking Thinking about buying another FC..

Hey guys whats up. I had a FC about 2 years ago when I lived in NY, and sold it when I joined the navy. Well im in need of something new, and wanna build a drift toy. Im debating at the moment between a FC and a 240 with Sr swap. Kinda pulling away from the 240 just because everyone has one. So i want a Turbo II

Just a couple questions because the FC I had never had a motor in it. I bought it started bodywork then sold it.

Ive read that the Rotary is somewhat reliable and Just wondering what performance upgrades there are for the FC. People upgrade turbos? IDK much about rotarys. I know obviously no pistons or cams. Upgrade headers, exhaust, Front mount.

What ways are there to boost power?
What suspension do you guys suggest?
Any basic info or even a site you guys could point me towards to learn about the Rotary?

Thanks everyone in advance

Honestly if you want to build a drift toy just get a 240sx. Everyone has one for a reason. A bone stock dual cam no lsd 240sx can win amateur drift competitions I have seen it.

Rx7s are not toys, far from it. They will do everything better than a 240sx stock for stock except for drift.

You'll find all this information and more right here on this site. Just start searching. You'll run out of time way before you run out of stuff to read...
