TX New guy from Texas

Hey guys whats up!? My name is Jason and am 22 I have been looking for a RX7 for the past couple months I just fell in love with them. More like the sound of them..So I ended up buying a 1983 12a RX7 and the body was in bad shape as in rust and holes. But it ran pretty good, BUt what could make it even better..? Well I had a AE86 laying around and just decided to sell the GT-S parts and go rotary for that sweet sexy love making sound So im done with the swap and just looking for the last 3 pieces of the puzzle then its complete.

Awesome. The only way to make a Toyota cool is to stick a rotary in it!

well good news is that the motor came with a big streetport and the intake ports have been portedas well and i picked up a weber 48ida for 200 with manifold but weber has to be rebuilt and im getting a pacesetter header in a week and running a autozone fuel pump (lol) im at least hoping 145 to the rear wheels. but then again hoping and doing are 2 diffrent things. But this is my first time with a rotory so my hp numbers might be off
