AZ Intro and plans for my FC

Well, this is my first wankel. 88 GLX. After a friend of mine had his car parked for about 9 months he decided to part with it. Since I had just sold my ae86 and 240, why not add a rotary to the roster of cars owned/worked in, right? Actually, this will be my last sports car and I intend to keep it practically for ever. Decided to stick with this plattform after reading much about it and talking it over with other drivers that have the same backgrounds as me. Suspension is amazing, and as some friends put it 'feels like driving an 86 with power'.

The car i purchased was in no running condition since it was ransacked by thieves it was missing a couple of parts: shifter and maf sensor.

Currently looking for an n/a S4 MAF to buy.

Plans for this car are simple: auto-x and circuit racing as well as an occasional dd. Will start with the suspension work first then move into the motor either after I finish the susp setup that I want or the motor blows.

Will post pics later.

I'm also a member of AZRX7.COM and know many of the members personally (jrat, flooder, george to name some) and I have also painted many shop cars for DMSpec.com

I am a proud owner of a 95 GS 300 with plans for boost in the future, but right now it is my dd and family car as well. Coilovers and custom interior are some of the first mods and it is being done VIP Style oriented, but that's another story for another forum.
