New to rotary, decided to give the piston/rod combo a break. My name is Corey, living in Virginia as of now. Honda's were my huge passion for a long time untill a friend of mine noticed that I was in pursuit of another project and he introduced me to the rx-7. I ended up finding one a few days later and picked it up fairly cheap. I will keep the "newb" posts to a minimum. I'm quite excited to get started, just gonna start with the s5 swap in the next week or so with a suspension setup and tire/wheel combo. There's tons of good info on here, can't wait to get my hands dirty! Forgot to mention it's an 88' NA. Any advice on where to start with a good tune in the DC, Metro area?

so, the swap was on hold for about a week, due to my lack of accurate knowledge obviously, but through some research ive finally found out how to make this swap work with alot less effort than i was first told. once i have the car running with no issues, ill consider doing a write up on how i did it. there may already be a write up, but im sure there are people out there who dont quite understand it all due to being so new to rotary, like me. ive been taking pictures through the whole process, ill post those as well. more info to follow.....
