New member from Lancaster,PA

Hi everyone,
New member here from Lancaster, PA. Do not currently own an Rx-7 but am going to look at and potentially buy one('94 FD) this coming weekend.
I have a background in building DSM's, so the RX-7 world is going to be a learning experience for sure!
I look forward to learning the ropes in this community.

Welcome aboard! It's good that you've gotten your feet wet with DSMs so you're not 100% green, but be aware that FDs have a STEEP and EXPENSIVE learning curve. Since you've built DSMs, you'll do better than most new owners. What trips up a lot of new owners is the twin turbo control system's complexity and how certain issues only appear when at operating temperature. If you've not already done so, read up on Dale Clark's threads about how to diagnose and test solenoids, check valves, etc.

My 20B FC uses an identical system on its twins. I just reworked it a bit to make it more user friendly, serviceable and less likely to have heat-induced failures.

Welcome to the club. I grew up in Carlisle PA, but work has me living in SC now. Good luck with the potential new car, make sure you do your research and give the car a throrough check.

Thanks guys for all the welcomes. Bought the car this past weekend. It definitely mechanically sound, but cosmetically it could use some help.
Interior is complete which was a big selling factor on it!
