First RX7

So this my first Rx7 and first vehicle that isn’t LS swapped lol. I’m in the US military been stationed in Okinawa Japan for about 8 months now. About a month and a half ago bought my FD been learning about it as much as I can. Looked through the forms a hell of a lot
its a 1996 Rx7 72mm single turbo, Haltech elite 1500, v mount, maybe a street port not sure. There’s a lot more but that’s the biggest mods. Really excited about but got a few problems I have to figure out

OMG! I LOVE it! I'm glad you're bringing it back to the states. It's actually not as expensive as some make it sound. Just start the process early. And you may have to tag it as a "classic" car here depending on the state as it won't be street legal right off the boat, from what I remember.

I was a mil spouse stationed there from 2012 to 2015. Lived on Kinser and he worked on MCAS Futenma! I drove several 7s while there but didn't buy one as I was intimidated by the importing process. I did notice many of them have rust issues. Anyway, I regret not buying and importing one.

Enjoy her and congrats on finally becoming a true rotor head. You're in the best place to transition!
