ON My RX-7 FD3S Build

Hey guy's I am proud to say, I know own a 1992 Mazda RX-7! Imported from Japan, and I've wanted a fd3s for the best of 10-13years!!!

Anyways I've always been iffy to get one cuz of the power plant but I said meh wtv lets do it, I love the rotary engine and that's what I want to stick with, that sound :P

I've finally traded my Evo 3 for the rx7 + 3500$ :P I thought it was a good deal

some of the goodies on the rx-7
- sparco bucket seat which I'll be putting into my other drift project
- 18inch fast wheels dtm aka bbs replicas, will be selling as I don't like them
- 2 way KAAZ lsd :P
- greedy diff over
- Megan racing full adjustable coilovers brand new
- front and rear sway bar, still need to confirm if they are after market
- HKS HI-Power axle-back might just change the muffler for something more stealth
- Carbon Fiber Hood, has cracks in it though
- The nice Nardi Dished Steering wheel really nice

heres a video I made of the evo3 before selling it

pictures the guy sent me

hey bought a whole front clip, the engine has good compression so hopefully that'll last the summer,

but now I've come into a little problem....





i'm missing all these bolts, 80$ at mazda XD


but the problem is the rx7 transmission has been cut!! where the ppf bolts too the upper bolts near the shifter, it's missing!!! so i could only bolt the lower ppf bolts on the ppf and the rear diff everything is there,

could i just bolt all that up, buy a banzai transmission brace can call it a day, do do i really need to buy a new rx7 transmission and keep this one as spare internals

almost ready to start up!!!
