As for import shop, again, 99.99% of shops in the WORLD have absolutely NO idea what they're doing when it comes to rotaries, ESPECIALLY FD's. Even Mazda technicians aren't trained to work on 'em. So many cars were misdiagnosed for having blown motors and turbos due to vacuum leaks, boost leaks, unplugged map sensors, etc etc, simply cuz the Mazda technicians had no idea how to troubleshoot the very advanced sequential twin turbo system in the FD. Your best bet is to take the car to Ray Wilson of PF Supercars, the local expert in FDs.

I'd have him check out the car from head to toe, but I'd do your homework and see if the car is worthwhile FIRST. There are some basic things you wanna check quickly to see if this car is junk or worth the cash. And again, I don't mind helping ya out w/ this.
THEN, if it passes, have it thoroughly inspected by Ray. Tell him Ramy sent ya. He'll take care of ya.

Pics won't do anything. You gotta physically check the car. Refer to the website I mentioned above. And you wanna check the car for body damage, frame damage, etc etc. Hands on - ESPECIALLY if the car's being sold by a dealer. Those guys are super shady at times.
To post a pic, you gotta upload it. When you're in the "Post Reply" screen, go to the "manage attachments" button, upload it, click save/ok, and vioala

Car is pretty heavily modified...which means I'd DEFINITELY get Ray to check it out... The only other worry I have is (no offense), how well you can handle that kind of power. FD's are very very hard to drive...that's why so many new guys wreck 'em. So much power, so suddenly, so peaky, in such a light car makes for a VERY bad combination in inexperienced hands...

As for moves, the first thing you should learn is how to keep the car from spinning out on you, or slamming into a wall (no joke). It's VERY easy to lose control of an FD. Read here: https://www.rx7club.com/interior-exterior-audio-26/throwing-cost-out-window-468485/ Read it CAREFULLY. Please. That's not to be taken lightly.
