New to the Website

Hello everyone,

My name is Josh and I've been working on my FD project for quite a few years now. I originally got the car with a blown up rotary so I have been working on doing the LS1 swap. I heard there was a lot of great information on this site so I figured I would check it out.

Welcome Josh. I'm Ron. Share some pictures of your project. I'm a big fan of FDs, but never would dismiss a great a deal on a FC.

and yes....lots of great info on rx7club.com.

I have nothing against the rotary, but it was completely destroyed and I had a great opportunity on an LS1 so it just made sense.

I think there is something special about keeping it original with the Rotary.

Or perfect oppurtunity for a rebuild, if money is an abundance a 3 rotor 20B, a rotary is by far more elegant and harder to maintain--but it's unique.

I've ridden in a sbc powered fc, it was a blast! I'm sure yours will be even more insane.

Rotary engine ftw, gives the best balance.

Idk I just am totally against v8 its the easy way to drift, I've seen a stock name gxl drifted before, its all in skill--just like playing guitar--you don't need a $1000 dollar les Paul to sound good, and you don't need 500 stock HP car to drift.

Ask my friend Austin.
