Proud new FD owner!
Well i've been waiting a few years and i finally found an FD i can afford. i bought it for $3000 and the body and interior are perfect. I'm originally a Subaru guy so i dont know much about rx-7s besides how the motor works. i just need to know what to look out for.
Its a 93 and i'm doing a manual transmission swap before i can drive it. Can anyone point me in the right direction on a write-up for a transmission swap?
The motor is rebuilt, but the cars been sitting for three years so i dont know what i need to replace just yet. Would the motor be perfectly fine just sitting for a few years?
Any and all information will be great! Thanks guys.

Search my username and auto/manual swap and you should find the info on how to do the auto/manual swap the easiest way possible. You can keep all the auto harnesses and you will need to keep the auto speed sensor from the auto trans and install it in the manual trans in place of the manual speed sensor.
