OH New Member: Sean from Dayton, Ohio 91 RX7

Hey everyone, name's Sean and I live in Dayton Ohio. I drive a 91 NA coupe. After going to my first drift event ever I fell in love with the rotary and the FC chassis. Out of dumb luck when starting my search for an FC to build into my dream car, I very quickly found my car at the right price. Since then she's seen some changes, although not as many as I'd like so far. I got the car bone stock with 81k miles. It now has lost over 200 lbs thanks to my strict diet plan for it and likes to throw flames from the full exhaust I threw on her last year. Only other mentionable modifications include coilovers and a welded diff (I bought the car to turn into a track toy.) Right now I'm busy fighting electrical gremlins in it thanks to the various leaks (yay!) and trying to complete the interior so that I can install the 10 point cage i have sitting in my garage. Later plans include a blasphemous v8 swap for some much needed power and various suspension modifications so I can hopefully get her on a track roasting the tires sideways. Anyways, I think this is a long winded enough intro, I'll probably be posting a lot around here in the coming months. https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/icon_tup.gif
Cheers,
Sean

+1000 for the welcomes. I'm in Columbus and once it warms up, there's always a meet at Quaker Steak & Lube every friday night. Last tie I went in the fall, there was one guy with a supercharged FT86 whom owned a JC Cosmo when he was stationed in Japan.

FD-boy is right, the journey is half the fun. Just look at my car, beginning as a meager S4 GXL Automatic. Now it's got a 20B-REW and yes, I can use one-handed steer in snow! Sometimes the most modest beginnings yield the most incredible results

Yes, I am Travis, the White Comet of Akagi and you are correct in seeing my post on Ohio Rotaries regarding my Project OldTree. Since my last post, there has been some news about it, of which you just reminded me to post an update on it.

Maybe once when things set squared away, we can finally see which is better in stock form, a 20B-REW or a V8 swap...
