Time to say "Hello"

Well, I'm not exactly new to the community, but new to the forum. I bought my '78 RX7 SA22C back in April 2018, and added a '86 FC NA in April 2019 as my current project (mind you, it's not running due to issues with injection).

So I'm happy to finaly getting around to saying hello to everyone!

The plan for the FC is to get it running, so I can use it as a daily driver. That includes the installation of the original AC, cruise control and adjustable suspension. I'm currently having issues with injection, because the injectors aren't getting a pulse from the ECU, which I fear might have been fried, when the starter shortet out.

Nice,
How does it works in Germany ? You can have "classic paper car" and daily it ?
Cause I was in germany during 1 year with an old vw diesel (with french license plates) and when I was registered in the country, I had to pay 550€/years for the pollution just to keep the car in Germany ! Oo

It's actually easy, if a car is 30 years or older, you can get a classic car registration. You pay 190€ a year including pollution and everything, but you can drive through Stuttgart (Something a five year old Audi Diesel can't). And it's cheaper to get insurance for a classic car. And of course you can daily it. I had to daily the SA because my former daily (a 1.2l Opel Adam) constantly fried it's own ignition coil after 4k miles, which equated to 3 new coils within the last year, before I dumped it.

If you have further questions pretaining to German classic car regulation or the likes, let me know, I'm happy to help.
