Hey guys i have owned an RX8 for the past 3 years and recently sold it looking now at an FD3S will provide some pics if i pick it up.

 

welcome.

check out the 3rd gen FAQ thread for a couple of Buyer's Guides

PS - don't post ***** in the stickied threads

 

lol thanks

 

I'd also recommend taking the "rx7 lemon site" with a grain of salt. Some useful things to be found there but the site mostly consists of a guy trying to rip off a dealer with failures he had after doing mods not under warranty. Much more useful info found here on this site. Good luck!

 

well i am not a proud owner of an FD. it's a project that has had a total of 6 years since it was last on the road but it is an 80k chassis and the motor/tranny are supposed to be 35k.
will be a fun project especially if the motor/tranny work out well.

 

Welcome and good luck on your search.

 

got to do a compression check via piston type compression guage and pulses were even and compression looked good all around so should be ready to start planning on making this engine run

 

now need a manual dash harness and i will be ready to see if i can resurrect this car from it's 6 year long hiatus from road worthiness

 

Good luck

 

Im still deciding which one I want a 2nd or 3rd gen

 

here are some updated photos
picked up stock intercooler and stock airbox

the parts stack it's down to tires now although the fan is out currently so i can make quick changes to the wiring harness till all the bugs are gone.

and the affordable(cheap) exhaust to get me through(downpipe won't work cause the o2 bung is facing the rear turbo)

and the new shoes that almost broke my budget

they are Volk GT-N's

 

and here are some of my before pics so you can see how it's coming along.

 

very nice!! CONGRATS!! RWD is the way to go lol

 

Nice

 

yea had an RX8 but needed to get wife something nicer so i bought her the Tribeca in the background and found this project. my goal is 5k (without wheels) and i am at 4900 with the diff i just purchased (i don't count fluids and general maintenance items against the total)
so a 5k FD is a bargain imho

 

Yeah, what a deal!
