Already posted most of this is another thread, but figured it'd be a good time to make an introduction thread for myself.

I'm Andy, I'm in Milwaukee and just recently bought a turbo ii FC (the red "Junkhouse" fc).
This is my first time outside of owning a euro car and so far its fun playing with a rotary, I've wanted an FC for a long time and once this one popped up I had to have it. Other than turbo lag being dumb. And I miss having torque.

Brought it home not running, did a good ol' tune up on it. New plugs, oil change, all the fun stuff, got it running.
Rebuilt these HRE's to put on since I brought it home with mismatched random wheels
Bought these stock bumpers for $100 to use temporarily while I wait for an aero kit to arrive from the motherland
Rebuilt rear axles and did some other maintenance stuff on it so far.
In the process of taking all the Junkhouse stickers off too, they're not coming off too easy so far.


I post tons of pictures of my car (as well as my car photography) on instagram as well: @milwaukeeandy_
