new owner of a 93 rhd rx7
 

hey guys, my names mac, i just turned 18 and ive been dreaming of owning an fd rx7 forever. yesterday i found a great deal on a 93 right hand drive widebody shell so i picked it up for 2500 :). i own a 98 ls1 camaro that ive been building a 6.0 for so im planning on swapping that into the fd instead for my senior project in highschool. and no. my parents dont pay for any of it :egrin: i cant wait to get started on it and i hope to find alot of the parts im looking for in the classifieds. i know ill probably get knocked for not havin a rotary but it came without a motor and i happend to have all the ls stuff ready to go. but thanks for reading let me know what you think!

Welcome, Mac!

Sounds like a good project to me. I like rotors myself, but what you have probably makes sense to go that route. I also like to see young guys be responsible and pay their own way on things like this, so kudos to you. :)

Only thing that I wonder is if it will be legal to be driven in the US when you are done. Does it have a CT title/registration? It may have been brought in from Canada or something. If it was a LHD that was converted to RHD, then you should be okay.

thanks im really looking foward to it. it does have a newyork title cause thats where i bought it from, it was a LHD conversion so im hoping that im all set :icon_tup:

Would love to se the build on this!, seems like a neat project.

lucky... 18 and a fd

i got mine at 17 :D

Your both lucky!

Ct?! you go to any meets around here?! weve been getting some good ones going in fairfield lately...miss the milford mcdonalds meets!! pre honda take over that is...

It will be a lot of work, but definitely pay off when its all done and you hear the engine turn on. Good Luck

i wish i can say the same. I always wanted one around your age and now im almost 10 years older than still want one. It seems really hard to find a nice used one down south. good luck with your build!

Beautiful shell.

What did you pay?

Missed that part..... Gj n free bump

Post some pics : )

Welcome bro. Super jealous right now. I was actually considering buying the shell, but you had purchased it a few days before I had even seen it. Grats on the new project and hope it works out! Keep us posted on how it comes along. :)

I can't even afford one as yet, and I am much older than 19... :(

welcome mang :] sounds like an interesting project
