NY NY picked up my 1st FD

hey my name is Brooks and i just bought a 93 rx7, it has 86k on it and i am very excited to build it. the car came from NC with a 2jz "swapped" into it. i use that term very lossly bc it was very sketchy. But i am a bit of a fabricator myself so i am in the process of getting it all in order. anyways i am very excited to be a owner and in the club.

Welcome, Brooks!

Good luck sorting out the swap. I saw your other thread and it looks like you are well on your way.

Nice a 2jz swap, best of both worlds, looks of the seven with the power of a 2jz

the car had a rough 2013, i got if running and had some bad luck with a tuner and needless to say i had to take out a blown motor and stuff a Brand New 2J from Toyota. i did paint the bay and the car looks awesome now. i will try to get pics up ASAP.
