FL New kid on the block :D

Hi everyone, I just made a leap in to a rx7 I'm a little scared but I think everything will work out. Currently I have an Evolution 9 but I'm selling it so the rx7 will be my new DD. Its funny when I tell people I'm getting a rx7 for a DD everyone laughs. I'm not a stupid ricer and I plan to take real good care of the new addition.. Soooo with out further ado..

My 91 Turbo II

Craigslist, www.racingbeat.com and www.mazdatrix.com are good places to get parts.

Congrats on the trade up, man. Never been a fan of the 4g63, had to rebuild them after crankwalk too many times. Don't know what you concider a fair price on the housing, but I have seen full swaps from japanease importers (not sure if I am allowed to post the link?) for 2 k, including the trans, turbo, ecu, the whole thing.

evos dont have crankwalk .. my stupid talon tsi did! those 4g63 were horrible it left a bad taste in my mouth for all mitsubishi's cars. The evo changed all that. the car is super reliable and i never had any problems with tranny or the motor.

Sephitrask- Idk if I want to buy another motor. I seen a couple on craiglist for cheap.. I would rather pay 500 for FD housing then 1500 for another motorset that would have to be taken apart to do the seals and gaskets. I really want to get a 20B it sucks that I don't have unlimited income. Lol
