So today i went out and came home and my dad surprised me and bouth me a 95 fd. i dont know anything about wankel engines. if someone can tell me what i can do to fix up my car. thanks

 

wish i had a dad like that.

read the FAQ sticky in this section. its got everything you ever wanted to know and then some.

good luck.

 

help us help you, please first read the faq in the 3rd gen section. they are very useful...get a good understanding about your car, and take care of it.

 

your dad must actually love you.

 

id say your in deep ****.

good luck though.

 

you have 510 in your screen name, I was wondering if it was because you are also into datsun 510's?

the FAQ section is a godsend.

 

HAHHAHAHA

 

Wow, what a nice gift. how old are you anyway?.. I hope your dad knows this isn't like a honda Civic. you need a good job and a lot of self control for this car. you need to park it in the garage and read everything you can on this forum related care and maint. before you think of fixing it up as you state.

Does your dad wanna adopt another kid? I'm still cute, and at the rate i'm balding, i'll probalby look look a baby soon anyway.

 

Looks like he's in the Bay Area (510). What color and model is your FD? I hope you're not 16.

 

jesus thats awesome.

but really you have to read up on here a ton. im still a fd noob so im not even attemping to do any serious mods. just keep reading on here a ton. ive had mine for over 2 months and im still just reading what i can and if you really have trouble than just ask.

this car should not be taken lightly it will be fast so be careful. also be ready to spend some money.

also make sure you look into the realiability mods first thing. im still doing these because its very important to help keep your fd as healthy as possible

 

lol

 

lucky ***!!! i had to buy my fd all on my own at 18. good 4 you though but hopefully your dad doesn't know how rx7's are because if he did he wants you to suffer!

 

Very lucky.

Well my advise is as already said do your reading and most importantly locate a good specialist where you can go to anytime you have even the minimum of trouble and don't do anything yourself until you are and expert on rotary.

If a long learning curve but a very interesting one if you like to learn somthing new everyday.

 

it says hes from the bay cali, so most likely it means he lives in berkeley or oakland or a surounding city in cali... seriously though so lucky, i wonder if i know you do you go to bhs? i graduated in 04.

 

Maybe he did something to **** his ole man off..... Seriously though you have a lot of research to do in order to drive this car safely and then, later be able to understand how to perfrom maintenance on it correctly.

Good luck

 

im with the "bought it on my own at 18" group and i just paid finished paying off the loan last month, but if its one thing ive learned its that these cars are the biggest love hate relationship you will ever get yourself into. you gotta be a mad man to own one of these cars, no joke

 

That's really scary.

Anyway, read the FAQ:
