Well lets see.. First off my nombre is Dan. As you could probably already guess from my user name... Anywho, I'm 19 and about 5 months ago purchased a white 86 base RX-7. The only reason I bought it was that it was one of my friends cars, he never drove it and I needed a car. So $800 later, I was the proud and somewhat ignorant owner of a poorly maintained 2nd gen. When I bought it, it didnt really run. But I messed around with it a bit and got it going. It still ran like **** but still drove the hell out of it for a couple months. It had a major overfueling/cooling issue. Not related i know, but the one-two combo really pissed me off. I looked on this forum a bit and found that i could probably do a turbo swap for a decent amout of money. So I jumped in to the proverbial pit of quicksand that is owning a RX and bought a S4 turbo swap, and a parts car that had the whole turbo drivetrain in it. So ive been slowlyl but steadily spending all my money on my car to get it up and running. Ive sunk about $3.5k on it so far and bought most of the stuff I need to finish her up. All I really need now are brakes, a trans crossmember, exhaust fab work, a wideband and a boost gauge and possibly an engine harness (the one that was connected to the turbo engine was cut the dude that sold it to me and even though he included another harness, it doesnt appear to be quite the same). Right now Im in the middle of deleting the emssissions and OMP from the new swap. This has opened my eyes to how big of a jackass the dude was that i bought the engine from. For some reason, he decided to block off the EGR valve with a cut up pepsi can, which caused an ENORMOUS carbon build up, eventually bursting through. But its whatever. It still spins and seems to have compression so well see. Now that Im finished with my (rotary) life story, maybe now i can get my 5 posts and start my legacy on this here forum.
