OH Hello, new to the rotary scene

Hey, I'm in the process of importing a 1999 RX-7 Type RS, although I may not have it here until spring has sprung, I'm excited to get started on this new adventure.

I've a nice spot in my pole barn for it, I expect she'll be a weekend warrior and pampered for the rest of her life. I've never owned a car with a rotary engine; I went from an Acura Integra GSR, Honda S2000, Lexus IS300, now after a long hiatus of family and finances, back in the game.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new RX-7. I can imagine that the wait for the car is killing you!! What part of Ohio are you from?

It is! It's in the process of getting on the boat now. I'm located in the Dayton area.

Thanks! I promise to update this thread with some quality pictures when they are available. The grainy stills from the auction site won't do it justice

After performing some translations from the auction sheet, this is what I can expect to see when it comes off the boat:
  • GReddy TD06-25g Turbo
  • ATS Carbon Twin Pull Clutch
  • Cusco Type RS Limited Slip Diff
  • Volk Rays TE37 Bronze
  • APEXI N1 Evolution Coilovers
  • AFFLUX Front Blister Kit
  • Craft Company Rear Diffuser
  • C-West Side Skirts
  • Knightsports Vented Hood
  • Defi Gauge Cluster

It has an aftermarket double DIN headunit, maybe a Alpine IVA W505 based on reverse image search. As far as the rest of the components, they either aren't listed in the auction sheet or untranslatable. I assume some manner of aftermarket intercooler to go with the turbo but unconfirmed, only can tell visually of the existence of one. Unknown wastegate but probably the TiAL that comes with the GReddy kit?
