Install Superpros

Drive the FD another year while investing as little as possible into it, aside from gas and oil changes

Save up more money to invest in Euros because the dollar is headed for oblivion

Agree'd

This thread is hilarious. As once stated, if the Rx7 community was made into an actual island public transit would be maditory because half the vehicles wouldn't be running at any given time.

Mine is to finish building the Fd that Mazda should have built in the 1st place. Also hopefully what I'm doing will have a major positive impact on future R&D for our dying beloved engine.

It would be nice if I could create my own ECU, but that might take longer than a year.

I truly hope to get my car wired within the next 2-3 months...after that it's ready to start. From there it's working out the bugs and getting it streetable. Once that happens i'll tear it apart and make it pretty so i can take it to the track I'm gonna try and take babysteps.....eventually ending with somewhere around 700whp and somewhere in the 9's.

I'll actually just be happy to start the damn thing!!!
