It needs a few things before I start modification. This weekend it'll get a fresh oil change, plugs, wires, fuel filter etc. I'm about to order some differential and subframe bushings. I need to figure out why the high beams are inop. The check engine light was on when I bought it. It had a code for a intake temp sensor. It was just unplugged, so that's cool.
This car is technically a one family owned car. The original owner is in his 70s. He bought it new, then passed it down to his son, who then passed it down to his. Pretty cool story to be honest. They wanted to sell it because nobody drove it enough and they felt guilty. It has just over 112k miles.
It'll just be a street car, that may or may not see a drift event or two. I'm looking for a spare diff to weld, but when pay day rolls around I'll be ordering coilovers, a nardi, knuckles, and find some sort of exhaust solution. My sis has a fc in the process of getting a 1j installed, so I have a nice racing beat exhaust manifold for it. Also on the hunt for some decent spec advan model v's, so if anyone sees any, hit me up.
I'm originally a nissan guy. I've had 6 s-chassis, one of which I still have and is under the knife at the moment. I've always had a soft spot for rx7's, though, especially fc verts for some weird reason.
Planning on keeping all of my OEM stuff so that one day it can return to stock if I ever decide to get rid of it. Doubtful.

I know it's been a while. But here's what the car looks like at the moment.
Car is starting on one rotor, then after a few seconds it clears up. I'm going to try to bump the compression with the old atf trick this weekend and see how that goes. I also purchased another engine core that I will be tearing apart to port and rebuild. Maybe I should start a build thread. I've just been driving it and having fun in the rain when I can.
Car now has pbm coilovers, advan sa3rs, camber arms, rear toe arms, racing beat manifold with cx racing y pipe/mufflers, new exedy clutch and light weight flywheel (that sucked to do in my driveway), nardi, pbm knuckles, and a few other bits and bobs here and there. After the engine refresh I'll be adding haltec and starting my turbo build. That's pretty far in the future though. I also have a motorcycle and that takes a lot of my time

Looks like a good find, congrats. Welcome.
:sidenote: I've had a few verts in my day and a tip if you're looking for a subtle rear spoiler option.. late early-mid 80s Firebird fits great. Its low and is just barely wider than the car.
