Hey, my name is Matt, I live in Olympia WA and I am starting to get interested in these triangles of doom. A friend of mine drive an FC and I got a chance to wrap out some gears one day and enjoyed myself. I don't own one yet but I'm hoping to in the next few months. I was referred here to learn a bit and ask some questions, get some ideas and learn some dos and don'ts when it comes to buying, any pointers would help.

Thanks for registering and welcome aboard, Matt! Opinions and pointers on what to do are always a mouse click away for this group.

First thing I would say is get a straight, clean 1stgen body and then procure a good 13B engine for a seriously brutal ride....but that's just me...nasty ol' 2ndgen's...

first thing you do is put a V8 in it and then watch everyone come out of the woodworks.

Excelent response! I used the sale of a camaro to get the money for my rotary project.

I would buy one that runs and drives well and work from there. Look for 3rd or 2nd gen turbos or 85, 84 GSLse.

Wish you luck!
