new to the forum and rx7s
hello everyone.My name is Derek.As you can see, I am new to the forum and rx7s. I currently own a 240sx but want to stop drifting the cliche drift car and start something new and different which is why I want a fc or fb. I don't know to much about rotary motors, and was wondering how hard are they to work on and how is it learning them. Also where can you get parts for these cars both suspension and motor. Any input would be very appreciated also which one anyone else prefers for drifting fb or fc. thank you!

Welcome Derek. I'm Ron. Tell me about it. I had my share of S-chassis S13 hatchback and Kouki S14 for autocross and drifting. I'm getting a FD, but still keeping my options open if I spot a FC.
There's a lot of info to absorb on this forum.

Yeh I'm so confused if I shcould stay in the s chasis or try out something different with a fc, but I don't know how the aftermarket is or how rotary motors are. They do scare me a little.

I'm getting into drifting my fb, it's a bit underpowered to get the rear tires to break loose unless you already have some forward momentum. I'd advise the fc, I've seen some people drift them very well, better than the 86, which is what I see drifting most.
PS I have racing beat springs and illuminas in the front and Gas-a-justs in the back, it works well for me.

I do what I can and learn so I'm pretty good with suspension, chassis bracing, brakes, and transmission work...after that I'd need advice and other tools.
Pull the trigger and get your FC or FD up. Keep Drifting Fun....and autocross....got to love autocross.
