LGR saying hello from the red light district (The Netherlands), newby FD owner..
Hello everybody,
As the title stated i just bought an FD from England, because FD's weren't sold in The netherlands and they are extremely rare to come by..
Some info about me
Name: Elgier
Production year: 1987
Student at Dutch University
I'm the fresh owner of a:
Type: 1992 FD3S Rx7 Touring X, converted Manual & Sunroof!!!..
Color: Black
Mods:
engine
[x]single turbo GT35 "Style"turbo (xs power)
[x]FMIC
[x]Thick radiator
[x]bov (unknown brand)
[x]wastegate 0.8 spring (unknown brand)
[x]Custom downpipe
Shocks / springs:
[x]HDS coilovers
Wheels:
[x]Rota's 18" back
[x]Rota's 17" front
More later..
I will post some pictures up asap!
I'm planning in tuning the **** out of this rx but 1 pace at a time.. since i'm a student i have limited funds + a house / Honda (Del Sol) / School Etc to pay..
Plans for the Rx7?
Sure i have plans but i will tell more about that once i picked it up.. + i'm still sorting out the setup plans..
Maybe you can help me with suggestions:
i want to run a turbo that has big HP potential but spools quick!!! and streetable..
P.S.(sorry for the spelling errors i live in the netherlands so english isn't my primary language..)

this makes me sad
As you can see there is alot to do..
I have my mind set on a radtech v-mount, rw throttle body, tial bov,aem coils and new leads..
But first of all is clean up that crappy @ss looking engine bay.. cant stand looking at it like this! (did someone say wire tuck?)
