Just wanted to introduce my self on here. I've been a long time rx7/ rotary fan for years. I have purchased a 1993 fd that's needs a ton of work but I'm going to restore the whole thing. I have been reading and learning more and more every day and hope to drive the car to a meet as soon as possible.

 

Welcome to the club. You definitely have the right attitude when it comes to doing the homework first and that is the largest factor for success. One thing I would suggest is to give yourself plenty of time to address the car's needs properly. We all want to go to a meet, but it's no fun breaking down on the way there. Especially if it's a national meet like Deals Gap Rotary Rally a few weeks ago in North Carolina.

Bookmark this site, grab all the FD manuals and parts catalogs and arm yourself for success.

Some things you may need can be difficult to find. Our Marketplace is a good starting point, along with vendors such as Mazdatrix. But if you're completely stuck, let me know. It won't be the first time I found the impossible by digging in Japanese.

 

Welcome to the forum! Would love to see pictures of the car!

 

Welcome to forum

 

I'll post some pics soon as I get good shots the thing is a mess but it's my mess and it won't be the first mess I cleaned up and made enjoyable. Thanks for all the replies.

 

Hey! I'm located in Queens, New York as well and recently got an fd as well. Would be cool to meet up one day!

 

Here are some pics






In the process of shopping for a new rear housing as well as Apex seals.

New OEM parts, hit up Ray Crowe crowe.ray@aol.com
He runs Nucar parts - a Mazda OEM parts dealer. Owns 2 FDs and gives us steep discounts.

 

Update order some more parts..builder has it all and motor is going to be put together shortly. I have for sale but can't post in forms yet. A brand new front housing used 18 wheels and 2 used housings. Please let me know if you need any of this as I'm just sitting on it.

 

Just wondering if the car was originally Brilliant Black or Competition Yellow Mica? Looks like an awesome project!
