nuwb_fc3s

hello, first off i would like to say what a beautiful website love it. ok, so im 16 years old....first car was a 1989 240sx that was a parts car i bought from my brother, it was really in bad shape and my brother wanted to crush it but i wanted to save it, so slowly by surly i pulled the blown KA and dropped in a junk yard KA and got it running to find out it had bad rings..plus all the interior gone, so i decided to sell and save up again "all this was done at 14/15 years old too".......I've been looking and learning about all different Japanese 90's cars and came to the rx7 im trying to learn more about the fc3s and the rotary, i drove in my friends s4 fc3s TII and just fell in love...he started to teach me a little about rotary's but i still need alot of help. i think that's all about me. so ill leave it to that and thanks for having me here and i know im a nuwb lol. any advise y'all can give me i would really appreciate it thanks oh and im from New Orleans, Louisiana

I'm about an hour from N.O. Houma, LA and I just got my first rx7 ('94) a few months ago but been driving rx8 since I was 17. Also have a 240sx- '95 s14. I don't see many rx7s here in southern Louisiana. Just recently a shop opened up and I see a few FDs there now and then.

nice to meet you BStallion, yep not many around here only a few fd's but hardly any nice fc's , i only know of 2 , that's one of the reasons i want one...because there none around here and its something different then the same old 240 , have you heard of NoStreetRacing.org?

Haven't heard of them. Besides at car shows there's only 1 fc I've seen (at an old used car dealership) and 1 fb which stays out in a yard. Im the only fd and s14 in my area and only 1 other has an rx8 and it's the same other as mine. I see alot in the town. There's a website for an rx7 club of new Orleans I've ran across before and a baton rouge forum sportsnimports.com. Ppl around stare hard at my old cars and wanna break their neck when i pass in my rx8.

My name is Brent Verdin. I can be found on myspace, Facebook, myyearbook, the 240 forums, rx8club, cardomain (-unleashed-) , YouTube. A few places.

no problem man. im pretty sure its legit i talked to him and he texted me a couple pics of it. paints faded and has a dent on the passenger door but for the price...... i got a door i'll donate lol

nuwb_fc3s

cool , im ask my dad if he wouldn't mind driving down there and towing it back lol im see what he says, its pretty much what i wanted lol and its in my price range haha , do you know if its turbo are NA? just wondering

Tweek985

iTrader: (1)

its a na. he said it was running till the fuel pump went out. from my understanding there is a fuel pump relay that goes out pretty often on these cars

nuwb_fc3s

man i so want this but i Google mapped it and its 5 hours away from my house and my dad doesn't really wanna drive that far sucks but he's still thinking about it, thanks for sharing this with me.
