Thad's FC RX-7 Touge Project
Hello, I'm Thad, and I bought a stolen, beat to sh*t, then recovered 1987 RX-7 for $900, which I intend to restore, build, and use for one thing — backroad racing, or "touge" if you will. Before I fully introduce myself, the progress for this build can be found in the build section: https://www.rx7club.com/build-thread.../#post12524524, this post is really just for context for anyone who is actually interested.
I'ma 20 year old kid whose life changed when I watched the Japanese anime Initial D, as I'm sure many of you are familiar with. I was somewhat into cars before I watched the show, but was very much a noob. Sometimes I still feel like I am, there's just so much information and experience I haven't acquired. I already had my eyes on the FC chassis, but watching Initial D gave me two things: I gained an "itch" to drive fast on the backroads around here (in the 2019 Volkswagen GTI my mom bought me to "get me from point A to B" XD) and it solidified the idea that I wanted to do this activity with an FC, and do it well. I've only just recently got the car registered, but for two years now I have been researching the ins and outs of this car almost every day, scouring the web and falling down rabbit holes of knowledge. Now that I have the car, I want to share my journey with you all. Again, further information and build progress can be found in a build thread: https://www.rx7club.com/build-thread.../#post12524524. Well I'm done talking, here's some pictures of what she looked like when I took her home:
thieves spray painted for whatever reason
stole the cat
interior in shambles
theives probably slid it into a curb, massive toe out and positive camber
