New To Rotary...
Hey guys, new to this site. New to rotary, but not new to modding cars. I have a 2008 Scion tc (I know the bastard of fwd lol) Made things done to it: 60-1 turbo, return fuel sys, dual walbro fuel pumps, E85, 470 fwd (un-usable) whp. Was looking for a project car, came a across a steal. 1988 FC convertible. Just looked it over today. Says motor thats in it lost compression. But has another turbo motor with ECU all included in sale. Will be it here in a week or 2. Not decided which route I wanna go with the car Drift, Drag, 13bT, 20bt etc. Hoping to get some good advice and guidance on this site or else imma throw a LS1 in it and call it a day. lol j/k
Look fwd to meeting all of you, thanks in advance.

Hey guys... just bought my 1986 rx7 gxl. New rebuilt engine with 0 miles. Havnt even cranked it yet. Pretty good condition for the price. I paid $800 for it. I have no clue about this car. I went from a 2008 turbo cobalt to this. Well atleast its rwd. It has no gas tank and the engine needs to be timed and some other small things done to it. Also a lot of the interior pieces are broke and I have no clue where to find new ones. Andyone know?

I'll answer that question. All you need is an importer to get the motor from. Easily available on here and the web. The hard part. You need at least $15000.00 to complete the swap bare minimum and the cost can go up significantly, and this is doing everything yourself. There is a large learning curve and I don't suggest diving this deep into the deep end at first. Bring a lifejacket.
I have done one w/ a buddy and its not cheap. Also in OKC.
