No it's not Turbo'd
In the process of a rebuild, and "Crossing Fingers" I hope I'll get 'her back before the new year.... 
Check out the pictures I took, of the rebuild process...

1. kinda misfires at idle
2. blown coolant seal
3. rear end clunk, need to buy trailing arms/toe links
4. needs tires and alignment
5. screech from left rear, maybe a wheel bearing, or something caught in the disc brake shield
6. just developed hatch squeek, need to fix
7. clutch is a little noisy when in neutral, maybe needs throw out bearing
8. some cosmetic stuff and a blown speaker too (not mechanical, but, they bother me)
But I still love it

Car is currently running great. Eventually I am going to need turbos, but for now things are decent enough on that front (primary not spinning at all until boost comes on) not to necessitate a change--I can take my time and save for what I want. I also want 17 inch rims and good rubber because my factory chromes look like crap and tires aren't the greatest. But the FD is fully functional and I am happy for that.

Wow, it seems like I am always juggling 3 or more problems at any given time. Ok, now for some humor...
1. Rebuilt the engine only by Tripoint Engineering at 90k miles. I would have done more but I need more Dollar Signs! Turbos are original with 90k miles and I get turbo squeal for the first few minutes of driving my car.
2. Broken door handle on the driver side, and while waiting for door handles to come in from japan which takes 8 weeks, the door handle on the passenger side broke too! I had to get into my car by climbing in through the trunk haha!
3. I have many creeking panels, and a squeeky hood but i just fixed the squeeky hood.
4. the interior door handle used to close the door on the passengers side broke right at the top.
5. When it's really cold in the morning, my antenna goes up with a screeching sound.
6. But most of all I love my car and I love to fix it. I just need more money. I don't want another car. I feel very involved in the 3rd gen rx7, i've owned a 2nd gen and my lil bro has a first gen. Its rotory or nothing!!!!!!!

my 95 is running great, 50K miles on it and it purrs, i keep tinkering with it but not because somthign is wrong, but cuz its fun to tinker.... its been a great car... although my previous 93 (80K+ miles on it when i got it and i was a 3rd gen noob) was a bad deal, everything was bad on it and it never ran right.
now I have another 3rd gen (track car) and it runs great too...you just have to know the car and keep ahead of potential mishaps

Well, there is something; the fuel cap won't close anymore
