OH New Rotard from Cincinnati

Just figured I would introduce myself. My name is Kent and I am from Cincinnati Ohio. I unfortunately know everyones favorite fabricator Kevin Doe. PS he isn't that cool in person

I currently own a 2006 Evo IX MR with a decently extensive mod list and is making 480whp and 440tq on a stock frame turbo and straight pump gas tuned by yours truly.

I recently picked up a 93 Touring from a business customer of mine from work. Her older brother (54) passed away and left her all of his cars, house and belongings. I helped her sell the other cars and she made me a great deal on the RX7 so I could not pass it up. I am hoping maybe someone on here will recognize the car and share some info on it.

Mods on the FD are as follows:

Half or Full Bridgeport, Garret T51, HKS Mani and Wastegate. 3'' Downpipe to 4" Greddy Titanium exhaust, Apexi PFC with Commander, AEM Water/Meth, Greddy FMIC kit, Greddy BOV, Koyo Radiator, dual oil coolers, Big Fuel system -6 lines, Aeromotive FPR, Walbros, 850cc Primary 1850cc Secondary Injectors, HKS DLI, AEM UEGO, Brembo BBK, suspension, SSR Wheels etc etc.

The car does need some work. It seems as if the big items were all done correctly and money was no option. However the wiring left something to be desired and was overall half arsed. I have spent well over 10hrs since I got the car replacing vacuum hose (there was 20ft too much ) replacing part of the wiring harness due to heat from the unwrapped turbo/downpipe and fixing the underhood heat issue.

Plans for the car are fix the little issues here and there, tune for E85, blow up and do what any sensible person would do.......V8 swap

Here is a teaser shot for now and a couple pics of the Evo before I sold the wheels over the winter. I will get some current pictures once I get the FD back to a reliable (debatable) state and get her cleaned up.









Let me know what you think and thanks for having me

Kent

Welcome to the club. I think any sensible person would sell the Evo and buy another FD

Both cars look really nice.
