Finally got one! 87 with original paint, built engine
Hey everyone!
I’ve been a fan of FCs for years but never seemed to find a decent one in my area (Atlantic Canada right on the ocean)
Was looking at the local Facebook classifieds the other night and noticed this 87 6 port rolling shell that appeared to be in real good shape, the owner had already swapped TII brakes, hubs, axles, diff and hood into it and the transmission was included as well. Best part, the thing still has all original paint and zero rust
My oldest loved coming on the drive, she wanted to ride in the car on the way home
I wasn’t 100% sure what I was going to do engine was until he mentioned he had a built half bridge engine fresh back from Rx7 specialists in Calgary. I’ve built plenty of engines but have a very limited knowledge of rotaries, the info for the engine is:CNC porting (notched rotor housings)
Lightened + clearanced S4 TII rotors
RX8 E-Shaft, stat gears, and bearings
FD front CW
Large thrust assembly
FD oil pressure regulator
Balanced rotating assembly
Automatic rear counterweight (for aftermarket flywheel)
It still needs final assembly as well as an intake/exhaust manifold but I’m excited to get this thing together and running.
The owner has a new Elite Rotary upper/lower with primary and secondary fuel rails as well as a Turblown investment cast twin scroll exhaust manifold but they’re probably on the upper end of what I need, still going back and forth on them though haha
