Winter Wonderland Norway got an FC!

Hi!
My name is Jim (and my dog is Danny, as my username implies).

I am 19 years old, and got a 88' USDM RX7 FC Cab N/A rebuilt to turbo.

I got the cars a whopping seven days ago, and have already started ordering parts for it.

As for now, we got 4 inches an hour of snow coming down maybe, and alot on the ground already. Perfect for tracks... WITH ONE WHEEL. One of the weaknesses of the FC is the diff, I guess.

The car was imported from the US to Norway in 99, and stayed in my county since. The last 5 years have been turbulent, with changing the right side fenders because of a hard impact with a fence (gals you know), repainting, changing engine, taking of the lisence plates, and standing still for 4 years.

Hard life, but I am just getting started!

I have now totally fallen in love with the rotary engine, the very nice weight distribution, and the sound of the car. Of course not the diff, but that will get better with a new one I guess

Yours, Jim

Welcome aboard, Jim! I can see you're already getting help on the diff problem. Evil Aviator knows his stuff, so I'd listen to him above the others. Have fun and be safe with the car!

...and thanks for the solid intro!

NP. It is also easier for you to see who I am, how I think and what I got with a real intro, not just a crappy one-liner ala Horatio Caine.

Well, yeah, the scoop got a function. FOR NOW It's going away sooner rather than later (but I guess it will be later)

Yeah. Looks ten times cleaner. Maybe a carbon fiber hood and paint it (maybe not, it might look good with the black cab.

Another option is to switch to a front mount intercooler so you don't have to worry about a hood scoop.
