IN I love my FC

Hey, my names Nathan and I own a 1991 fc. Bought the car for 800$ a little over a year ago, and with alote of help from a close friend we have transformed it into something amazing and memorable. This forum has been loads of help along the way, for we encountered several problems that left even the way advanced rotary mechanic stumped. Thanks to all you guys who aided me in my build. I have alote to be thankfull for on here. I'll post some before after pics on here for you guys!!!

Here are some before-after pictures. Car is getting repainted soon, and am in the works of gathering parts to boost her!!!! I got into the rotary scene from my sister dating a guy"blackrotary," and him selling me this 91 for 800$. At first it was a scary investment, for I was only 17 at the time. But with putting so many hours into it, I slowly fell in love with the simplicity of the rotary engine.

When I bought the car it was not clean at all!!! Plans are to boost it, and get as mush power to the ground as possible. And what do you mean about "stupid about the angel eye thing?" Are they frowned upon in the rx7 community?

Parts

Parts were not really an issue for the car. A friend who lives with me had a boat load of spare parts. And if you need any parts, we still have boxes of them in the garage!!!! Car will be dropped soon, about an inch or so. Needing new rims and tires as well.
