Hello, my name is Keith.

I bought a 1995 Rx7 from my buddy around May of last year. Yep, a 95.
It had 71k miles on it, now 74k miles. Paint is ugly, but the inside is great! Map lid broke off and defroster vents are cracked, and the leather around the vents is starting pop-up.

I do have some parts for it, but just taking my time. As I work out of town and only home on the weekends, I drive it when I have an itch.
I will start a build* page once I'm ready. I'm being an adult as of right now and saving money for other things.

*may end up doing a swap. NO LS!

Thanks, duder.

It's kinda making me a have a Love-Hate relationship with the car. It's still on the twins, but Non-Seq and giving me an attitude. I get something fixed, but then acts up later on. I wanted to Streetport or Bridgeport, but I don't know what I want to do. I have a cast iron mani and a 6766 turbo and other supporting mods to work. Drop the money into the 13b, or go ahead and do a 20b swap?

But for now, I may go with a small turbo to work with stock ports and paint it OEM. Make it run better and look good.

I know I know. Buying the motor is going to be the most expensive part. I'll just need someone to port it. Everything else, my buddies and I can do.

Hahaha Good luck.

A 20B build is not cheap. Not rebuild and all that crap, but the parts or accessories you need to make it work properly in an fd .

I totally understand.

I can custom make the parts. Wiring harness and choosing a transmission will probably be the next expensive thing after engine.
Or I could buy a turn key swap. But that's like 18k starting off.

But like I said, this would be later on. I'm not sinking all this money into at once. I know how rotaries are
