Hi Folks,

I've owned a few FC's and purchased an FD recently. Overall, it's a nice car. It came with HKS intakes, HKS front mount intercooler, exhaust, Apexi power FC and coil overs. I've always loved the FD and have quite a collection of unique cars. The FD has always been timeless. I generally mod every car in the past, but decided to remove the FMIC, Intakes and go back to stock. I may install a better SMIC at minimum. I do plan on keep the Power FC and minor Dyno tuning. I've ordered the datalogit to work on a laptop.

Today, I did locate a stock IC shroud, cold air duct and a few other parts, but will spend time on the parts form locating all the little components to complete the build.

I'm currently in need of a stock air box. If anyone has any leads, please feel free to email me- Hooverc@turbohoses.com.

Thanks,
Hoover

 

Nice car, good luck with your build plan.

 

Thanks! Very excited! I'll post a few videos of dyno next week.

Shopping for 18"
wheels soon.

 

altho far from what i call an intro, this is intro only section. anything tech related will be wiped. we have a section for that. if u need parts, there's the classifieds. thanx.....and welcome to the forum. i'm sure this forum will be of great help to u.

 

You are right!

Let me start again!

Nice resume

 

Lol!!! And I have a dog too!

 

That's a clean car. Still torn over which generation of the RX-7 looks best. FC or FD? Yours almost makes me lean towards the latter, but the FC has a special place in my heart.

 

Haha, dog is a must!

 

I've had a TurboII and the FC Convertible as well. I fit better in an FC, but then again, I probably am "bigger" now. The last time I drove an FD was about 18 years ago.

I don't see FD's on the road much. The body is rather timeless. This car had signs of a roll cage that was removed. Mazda Japan still has all the parts and some of it I've located via shops, Ebay, Craigslist etc..... hasn't broken the bank yet.

I'll post some pics. of work that was done the day after I purchased.

 

please start a build thread if u want to show progress of the work being done/fixes/restore/build.
