FL New Member! '94 RX-7 FD3S "Chaste White"

Hello Everyone! My name is Jorge, and I recently picked up this beautiful 1994 FD3S in Chaste White. (82K on body 6K on rebuilt motor direct from Mazda) I used to own a 2004 RX-8 a few years ago, but had to sell it due to the wife expecting at the time. I LOVED that car! Regret trading it in almost every day that goes by...... Fast forward to now, and I'm ready to jump back into the Rotary World with a forever dream car of mine, the FD3S!!!!

This will obviously not be a daily vehicle and will be used as a fun toy to drive in my spare time. My end goal is about 400+whp on a reliable stable platform. I very much look forward to meeting everyone and gaining as much rotary head knowledge as possible.

Congratulations on rejoining rotary ownership. By far my favorite color on an FD, great find!

Best of luck to you on getting "reliable" 500-600whp. I'm not discouraging you, as many builds reach those levels, but there are a lot of upgrades, and a lot of troubleshooting between here and there. Hopefully you enjoy the journey as much as the result!

Thank You! I'm pretty excited for the ride to come. It's not a do or die thing to attain 500+rwhp, as I'd be just as happy with far less in exchange for more reliability. I'm still on cloud 9 just owning an FD!

Thanks Lokiman! After much reading, (and still reading) (too much reading) (but never enough reading) I'm pretty much decided that I'll go for the more oem/sleeper realiable approach as opposed to the latter. Doing a full tune up of the car first, and replacing all of the vacuum lines with new silicone hoses

Congratulations man! Where are you in Florida? Looks a bit like Orlando...? I'm down in Miami.

Car looks great. Do you have any interior pics or engine bay pics? We have an annual meet down here in Miami/Broward area that you just missed. Every November at Markham Park. I'll hope to meet you then bud! If you have any questions or want any feedback from a fellow rotary owner, don't hesitate to PM one of us, myself included. Good luck bud!

Nick

That is one sharp looking FD, and I'm not even a huge CW fan. Kudos

Thanks Everyone (DigitalRX7, Mikelivi91, bikerecker, Felix Gro, ProjectDorito, Luminous, GoodfellaFD3S, Sammy Built) for the kind words! I didn't even realize I had bought such a sought after/rare color until just about the day I purchased it! LOL! Glad that ya'll can confirm such a wise decision.

Thanks! I'm up in the Orlando area. I've been too lazy to take or post any pictures of the interior/engine bay, as I've been cleaning/tuning it all up, and detailing as best as possible before I show her off. I'll definitely contact you should I need anything. Need to make a lot of Rotary/FD friends

Orlando Area Would love to link up sometime with some fellow Rotary/FD heads.
