Just like how mr2's have there motors in the back. Haha. I hope my FC doesn't break down fast, i hear a lot of things to be aware of and i hope i got good luck with my new baby. Any pics of yours?

I was taking this sharp turn on 2 main big streets and threw it on 2nd gear and gave it just a lil gas and i started driftin a byt, felt kind of like a hydroplane though, there so quiet when drifting. it's sick.

i dont really have any pictures cause my camera would make it look even worse lol, plus i still need to change out the water pump, the current one leaks (and basically ***** water after 5k), so no drifting for now, i was going to go out to one of the local events but i would rather have it running right, and the steering is fairly tight, but it feels like it over steers quite a bit. i read that the RX7 needs toe adjusting arms to fix this? anyway found a great place for parts and i whould be putting something together in the next couple months, so it should go nicely.

Good to hear, i noticed they tend to oversteer too. It feels so different. I feel like my car has super power steering. Haha. Toe adjusting arms? i bet that info is located somewhere here, not too sure i'd have to look into that. I'm loving this site so far.

exactly, i dont really think the 13b is that difficult of a motor to maintain/mechanically repair. there are fewer parts and its a much simpler conceptual motor, the mechanics could be figured out by a 10yr old if need be. i do wish the engine wasnt so cramped. i think the first thing (after coilovers) will be to replace the clutch fan to and electric fan (taurus fan 1200cfm) and and intake, to clear out all the crap in there. im excited to work with a new platform. so far its been fairly smooth sailing
