SC Finally, I got a rotary car with my turbo II

Hello all, as the title reads i finally have gotten a rotary with my new to me 87 rx7 turboII. A little about me i started out with a 93 prelude from that a 03 eclipse to 95 240sx now to 87 RX-7. I have been a long time lurker especially sense i join in 2012 and its 2014 now lol. My plans for the car is to be just a fun little car i can drive learn about rotary's and the occasional auto-x. All said and done i want about 290-300whp

It's looking like ima need a new wiring harness and rebuild the motor

haven't autox'd in more than 20 yrs and not aware of when they have their meets. went to one a yr or so back and met guy named michael. i think he has something to do with the car club there. they had a white fb running in it. he said it was their club car.
