Hi from Tassie, Australia
 

Hi all,

My name is Paul, but everyone knows me as krem.

im pretty sure i had an account a while ago but cant remember the login details so started another account.

i dont actually have an rx7, i used to, all 1st gens, i will have an fd one day when my kids are too cool to cruise with me, so in the meantime i have something waaay better, lol, a 1986 929i hardtop sedan,

so far its totally stock except for wheels and steering wheel, still has the awesome FE2.0i and 5sp, but I’m building a 13brew, efr 9180 iwg and haltech elite 2500 ecu, hoping for around 500-550rwhp, maybe more if i can afford it.

i have joined to get info on engine mods etc, and to ask questions and share my slow build.

Welcome!!! Feel free to post some pics of the 929! Maybe you will get coaxed into buying another FB after doing some reading here...

Welcome to forum . From another Aussie

So, a little more about myself.

im 41, have a partner and 2 children, girls, they are in no way shape or from into cars, however they do like to occasionally help in the shed.

i own and operate my own small plastering (drywall) business, have 3 full time guys and a casual labourer, we specialise in quality residential work.

ive been into cars my whole life, actually started as a ford guy, owning my 1st TC Cortina when i was 14, then moving onto a few more cortina’s and then a truck load of escorts. Then i got a Opel Calibra when i was 19, thought i was the ducks guts, lol.

then a mate got sick of my “rotor” jokes and took me in his 12at rx3 coupe, hoooly crap, i was hooked, and have been a convert since, it was like nothing I’d even been in before!!

so after a heap of 1st gen rx7’s and rx2’s i had a little break when my kids were born but have been lurking around and planning my ultimate car, FD rx7, in the meantime, i have the 929 so the kids can come cruising with me!!

so i just need to get my post count up so that i can start my build thread.
