ID RX7 Owner in Idaho

Hey everyone!
I'm Ryan, I have an '89 Turbo II that's my current project, even though it's been sitting for the last year and a half. I actually bought it from someone in Seattle on this forum, drove the 8 hours and got it. In retrospect I probably paid too much, but oh well it's the car that I wanted. The motor has lost compression and I haven't torn it apart to see the extent of the damage. But I also picked up a 13B-RE for a stupid cheap price. It builds compression, but I don't know how much. But I'm anticipating a rebuild for that engine anyways. So I'll end up sticking that engine into my FC, or at least that's the current plan.


My dusty FC

13B-RE

Thanks! I'm going to try and be better about taking pictures and documenting the process. I've had a few 240sx's in the past that I've done some work to, and I never seemed to take a single picture of the process during the "before" and "after" periods.
