BC Joel from Vancouver, B.C. and FD3S project

Hey everyone I'm Joel and I'm 19 years old. I'm currently building my 1992 efini fd3s that I bought in February of 2013. (Username says 1993 because after making my account I found out its actually a 92) I bought my rx7 as my first car not running. Guy said all it needed was new vacuum lines and a battery to run. Turns out it need a lot more aka a rebuild. Paid $3000 so I didnt get totally ripped off. Day after buying it, I felt the passenger carpet was oily, so after pulling up the carpet I got a nice surprise of a cracked heater core. Sweet! After tearing my interior apart and putting it back together it was now time to focus on the engine. As I started taking things apart to do the vac job, I started seeing things I didnt like as a cracked turbo stud with a nice gap in between. With 120000km on the motor and not sure if it was ever rebuilt I thought might as well tear it apart. Long story short I lost my job due to a car accident and ran out of funds to rebuild the engine. The car was up for sale, but a few months ago I found a really good deal on a half bridge motor with 0km on it, a transmission, os giken twin plate clutch, fuel system etc. that I couldnt pass up! Now the car is coming along and hopefully it will be on the road soon! Plans for the future is a single turbo but as of right now ill be using the stock twins set up non-sequentially alongside vmount kit, power fc, etc.

Nice, Who do you work with in Surrey? The guys at Force Fed are solid from what i have heard if you have any issues. I just bought a 93 JDM rx7 and had the same story. except i paid 5k. yea. lol well now i am currently doing the clutch. Do you have any suggestions on what parts to replace while i am in there? I have a clutch plate and friction plate but no gaskets and berrings. what should i replace and where do you get your parts from?
looks awesome though!
