Well, first, when I say sweet, I mean sweet for a 20-year-old car.

I'm rebuilding because 1. I want the experience of rebuilding a rotary, as I've come to love them so much and 2. I figure why wait until something breaks when everyone says these motors may start to go not too far in the future compared to where mine is now, mileage-wise.

good idea, j0rd4n. And good luck!

Initial D is REAL...your name and avatar are the best ever.

And I know RETed is usually right. I`ve been on here for a while, just haven`t posted for years.

I'd go strongly with RETed on this one. In spite of this:

Though I'd say he's been good about it in this thread.

Anyone interested in some rebuild kits at Japanese prices besides my buddy and me?
