New 1993 RX-7 Owner Fort Hood, TX

Hey, my name is Martin I'm stationed here in Fort Hood, TX. I just purchased a 1993 RX-7 FD. She sat for about 8 years and the previous owner brought her up to running condition before selling her. I am real excited with this car because it is my first rotary and turboed car.

Thanks, I'll be sure to send you a txt shortly. Right now I am considering Banzai Racing but if you know someone local that can work.

The guy I bought if off of brought it up running condition. I bought it running. It has a vacuum leak. I'm getting about 7 lbs boost in both turbos. All struts were blown. It was on worn tires. Missing headlight covers, broken front bumper, and peeling tint. Any rubber piece needs to be replaced. Plus sitting for 8 years the motor needs a rebuild. I just want to do a ground up rebuild. But I'm waiting to have enough funds right now. After taxes I'm sending my motor off to Banzai Racing to get rebuilt and ported. With the wife's approval (lol) I'll put more money into the car.

You're lucky no one in the local area will touch a rotary.
