thanks guys! yeah i am pretty set on a FD chassis thats for sure, FC's dont look to bad but reminds me of s13 chassis to much and ive done enough of those, really like the look of the FD, and i might just buy a bone stock clean one and rock a rotary for a while and see how i like it, everybody tells me i wont because of the lack of power down low but we will see.

Hey neighbor. We'll have to hook up so I can bring you into our GR group. I myself was heavy into the old Z cars before moving over to rotaries. You should definitely try one before sticking a piston engine in. You might be surprised.

There is a local with a slightly modified red fd for sale. I'm familiar with the car. Check the Midwest for sale section in this forum, user name is Finky. Worth a look for sure.

haha, My cousin had a clean, fast 240Z back in the day. I was kinda hoping for some cool old school Datsun pics when I clicked here.

Nice S13, tho, for sure. Welcome to the club!

I might head over to Lansing Saturday morning for an autocross. Shoot me a PM if you're interested in tagging along. Not sure who else is going, but might be a couple other RX7s.

Oh, that is very nice. I especially love that shade of blue.

Is there any specific reason you chose to go Rotary? I am curious what brought you from pistons engines.
