Hey guys I am not an RX owner yet. But I am in the process of buying one. I have found the car and I am currently parting out my Mazda 3 to get rid of it and jump into the new project.

So its a 1993 FD and its currently owned by a really good friend of mine. The car was just painted and is in amazing shape. Motor has been rebuilt and its in the process of being switched to a single T72 turbo.

I dont know a lot about a little when it comes to cars mostly about my 3 but its time to get some reading done!

Here are some shots of my 3 i am parting out now.

It sucks i love this car and have put a lot of time and money into it and this was my first car i modded. It hurts taking it apart and i planned to never sell it but the FD has been a dream car and lets face it.. boost will fix all my feelings i think.





Here is the FD i am looking at. Like i said i have not bought it yet but the owner and i have agreed on a price so i am helping it finish the single turbo build get it tuned and selling my car so i hope with in the next few months it will be in my driveway. (and not on jack stands lol )

Here is the animal!







Ill update with more info as time goes on

Cheers!

Also if anyone knows any good reading spots post them up but as of now the search feature and i have a date haha

Part it out! Part it out! Part it out! An interesting dilemma but we're glad you decide to go rotary!

Thanks for taking the time to register and welcome aboard RX-7 Club!

It needs some major work. i wont post the front bumper because of how bad it looks haha but the rear trunk needs to be fixed and the inside is in bad shape i will do some before and after shots. right now i want to get it running so i can break it to my parents that i spent money on an rx7 haha

only thing it needed was some TLC, exhaust and turbo and i got it for 3000 to my door tax in. dunno if thats a good deal or not

haha indeed Andrew!! Couldn't be happier with the car it was just enough work to allow me to learn about it but not to much. Little TLC left and she should look half as good as yours does

When you got your TUNE by Marco, you opted out of choosing the Optional Exploding device to detonate 7 days after tuning.....LOL!
Good choice..it was 50 bucks extra anyways..haha!
