Just Bought my First RX-7 CYM FD3S R1

I bought it out in LA and it's being shipped here. So for now, I only have the pics that the owner shared with me.

My goal is too keep it as close to stock as possible while turning up the boost just a tad. It's a single owner all original car (minus the radio) with no rust. Jeff from Rotary Power did my inspection for me. He didn't perform any work for me, but I was blown away by his help and advice. If I lived in LA, he would be the guy to perform all my work. I am really grateful for his help.

She is shipping today and expected to arrive by next Monday. Just in time for me to head to Rhode Island for work. She needs a new clutch ASAP and then general things. Current plans are as follows:

SS Lines (Clutch/Brakes)
Excedy Organic Stage 1 Clutch Kit
ACT Flywheel and Counter weight
Racing Beat Exhaust
Flush Diff/Trans/Oil
Eibach or Eibach like springs as mentioned in the Suspension thread
EBC Brakes (I'm a carbo tech fan, but don't want to replace the rotors as they are still good).

Goal is a garage queen that I may take to a few HPDEs if I have balls. I currently track a Miata and intend to keep her as my track whore.

Welcome to the club :)

Sweet ride, welcome!

Just got my new ACT clutch. I'm going to have it installed next Tuesday, until then she is just sitting in the garage taunting me.

Nice, i would also like a fd. I have a fc and i lov eit

welcome!
FD's look hot stock anyways. No need for body kits, but thats just my opinion..

Very jealous, that is the exact car I have been looking for!

Get my clutch tomorrow then I can finally drive it. She has been sitting in the garage tempting me!

Getting ready to head to the shop.

Super clean rx7 welcome

beautiful car and beautiful color , hope you will stick with yellow!

It will stay yellow forever. Today I installed my Defi boost and Water temp as well as my AST. I can't express just how awesome it is working on a clean rust free car! I'm still breaking in the clutch and that's taking some getting used to.

Tomorrow I'm putting on some new Hankook RS3s.

Then a little suspension work and alignment and she is ready for some fun! I have a lot of detailing in the engine bay todo as soon as it gets warm.

Welcome, nice CYM, and another FD in Chicago :icon_tup:

Rape HER!!!! LOL Welcome!

Mounted my new tires and learned my Rear LCA Outer bushings are bad. Do I just go all out and get the poly E kit from RX7 or just replace those two bushings for now?

I went all Enegery Suspension Poly bushings in my Miata. It was a royal PITA. But, I don't see that ES has a full kit for the FD. They do sell the bushing that is bad though.

Just stick with stock bushings (IMO) :)

Just replacing the 3 bushing in both Rear LCAs is $560 from Mazdatrix. It's the same as a completely new Poly E kit. I really don't want to do an entire bushing swap, but it would be something that last forever. Downside is more ride harshness.
