going to be a rotorhead again!!
going to be a rotorhead again!!
hello all, i was the proud owner of an 87 TII about 7-8 yrs ago- unfortunately it was stolen.
At the time i did not have to funds to piece my old one back together or get another, since university was a more important priority. Fast forward till summer 07, done univ, landed a good job......time for another fun car. During my research i was thinking rx-8 since i wanted something a little newer and could easily afford this. After comparing the 8, 350z, s2000 and various other rwd sporty cars/coupes i picked up a 2005 350z.
Now i do love the Z but i am craving something with a little more....how should i say.....rotary power and boost!!!
basically i learned alot from my FC, both the proper way and the hard way. I know some local enthusiasts were very helpful back then however i do realize i was a total newb had a ton of questions. I am here to relearn the stuff i thought i knew and learn the stuff i need to know- and hopefully source out another to have for a project car.
my old fc was a turbo II, and i added a racing beat turbo back 3" exhaust, FCD and it had a HKS intake (what a rip offhahaha) it was very quick, but in that horribly overboosted kind of way!!!!
I also picked up an old ice racer fb (1980 iirc) i bought it to get to a fro work one summer when my daily driver was down and out with electrical gremlins, that was a total blast also. Bought for $500 drove the **** out of it for 2 months and then sold for $500, it was rusty and loud!!!
cheers everybody post # 1
