WI My First FD :D

Hey guys, my name is Jordan Schultz and I've been a member on here for a month or two but I didn't find it right to introduce myself unless I had an rx7. Which I got a week ago! Originally owned by Banzai Racing out of Indiana. Its a 1994 Mazda rx7 Fd3s. Its the r2 edition. With about 52000 miles and right now it has a 13b street ported rotary engine with a single turbo conversion running a Garrett gt35r turbo with a wolf ems. I absolutely love it so far. Pushing about 425 rwhp at 18psi. I had an rx8 for about a year and sold it to get this and I already miss it for a daily lol. I'm from Wisconsin and I can't wait for driving season. Lots of shows to go to from where I live in Oshkosh to Chicago. I can't believe how comfortable the rx7 is and when you hit triple digit speeds, it doesn't even feel like it. The suspension is so smooth and the leather is in great condition. Hopefully converting to a 20b or 26b in the future. Its my dream. I'm glad to be here on this forum and everyone seems to be really nice and helpful. If you have any questions, just ask!

I'm doing a 20b swap too, which is one of the main reasons I joined. Also thought it would be nice to ask questions and get answers from people in the community (:

Welcome to the club! You'll find plenty of information for any questions or concerns you might have. The FD Rx7 is an absolute fun car to drive and hopefully we'll see a build thread from you in the future. Good luck and have fun with your FD!
