hey, new to the forum.
hey guys/girls my names dave, i live in new zealand and am lucky enough to own a fd 7 and a 96 civic si sedan. Nothing beats driving them round the port hills in my home town..
unfortunately they are both off the road at the mo. civic needs a bit of maintenance work but need it sorted as its my daily driver. the rx7 however, is not in as good condition... i crashed it 2 years ago and am slowly saving and getting it sorted. engines done something like 80,000kms so figured it will need a rebuild so ive done a bit of work on removing the engine but have come stuck and need help.. thats why ive joined the forum, guidance and advice from people who have done it before!
cheers for reading.

yea cheers man, nice to hear from you. your 7 sounds pretty mean, was that running stock boost 211kw dyno? i was running completely standard everything for a good 60,000km and it drove mint, and hard! i do a bit of drifting and found the TT setup a bit unpredictable though so figured id go with a single.

update
hi, need to get my post count up so thought id write an update.
made some custom ducting for my intercooler & radiator setup - pretty happy with it but mite be a bit un necessary for street use.
finishing battery in boot install
looking at buying the feed style kit from aero kits (vendors link on homepage), seems a better idea than repairng the old.
need someone with rotary experience to run some checkups and finish off a few things on my engine in christchurch - any references would be good
need reg & wof
and SELL!! unfortunately.
