CA From FWD to AWD to RWD!

Hey everyone!

Names Charlie.

I'm coming from a Honda and Subaru background. I had a 01' Honda Prelude and a 99' Subaru Impreza WRX STi Version 6 Type-R. I currently have the Subaru, but I'm in the process of trading it for an FC!

I'm somewhat new to the Rotary scene. I do have a bunch of friends who own them though, haha!

I'm looking forward to gathering information from this forum and learning more about the RX7 and attending any local meets!

Welcome, Charlie!

Good luck with the FC. Please share some pics once you get it.

Welcome. I had a '03 MBP bugeye and now I'm onto my 2nd FD so yeah I can relate to your decision LOL. My bugeye was a full show car but my FD gets more attention than it ever did. My FD has a bone stock exterior with the exception of my wheels. Your FC is definitely badass. What do you have planned for her.

Nice!

It was a random decision. I never thought I'd get an FC. It was never really in my list of cars to own, haha.

Thanks man! Well it's pretty much fully built already. I'm just in the process of looking for a lip actually, lol.

I really wanted a Shine Auto Lip, but they are never available. So I'm leaning towards a Corksport Lip.

So what mods does it have. It does not look like it has a turbo hood. Does it have a turbo conversion with front mount or a built up NA motor.

I jumped between rides from different spectrum's as well. I went from FWD (Acura Integra), to a 93 FD, then to AWD which was my Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX, to RWD 2007 Mustang GT, now back to FD RX-7 (RWD)...

I missed having this car so I had to come back to the awesomeness..

It's actually pretty built. I would make a member's journal if they have those on this site? I probably don't have enough posts to make one.

Oh, I see. Nice! My friend has a GSX, haha.
