Wrong thread, wrong state, and how come you only have one post? You one of those bots??

If I'm wrong... then welcome to the thread, welcome to the state, and welcome to the forum.

There should be lots of help in the 2nd gen section here on the forum.

welcome! when you're on the main page, go to the 2nd generation section, and just start reading. anything you could possibly asked has pretty much been asked before. Lots and lots of people in there willing to help, as well.

you can also do a "Search," by clicking on the bar at the top of this page, and putting in keywords relating to your question.

Good luck, and I hope to see ya at Nopi!

Well well well, I have a HUGE smile on my face right now. Let me fill you all in. I just found out my lesbian cousin has owned 2 first gens in the past, the first one she wrecked and the other is at my uncle's house right now, and my Dad is about to pick up that and an FC engine and he's giving it all to me!!! WOOHOO!!!! So I have two of three now. Now all I need is an FC shell and I have all three!! Haha. The only problem is there is no title. The first gen also doesn't run that well, which is why the FC engine is there. They were thinking about swapping it in but said the engine mounts don't match up, go figure. I'm so happy!

All right guys. I should have no problem making it on the 10th. I'll see you guys out there. Oh, and when you see my car, realize that I haven't actually added anything to it yet. What is on it, came on it when I bought it. I'll see everyone there.

I'm pretty sure there's even LESS leg room in the FB than there is in the FD...

*jealous* I want an FD and an FB, tooooooooooooooo.

I felt the same way when I first showed up cause it was ragged out, and still is, but trust me, people just want to see the beauty that is an RX-7 (or 8), no matter what condition it's in.

All in due time my padwan, all in due time.

Or maybe you'll just get lucky like me and they'll fall in your lap. I think it's kinda like love...when you're not looking is when the right one will find YOU, haha. I seriously thought something very bad was going to happen to me today though, cause nothing good like this ever happens to me without something bad happening right afterward.

I'm not sure about the FD, but the FB has the same amount of legroom as an FC does, if not slightly more. The stock steering wheel is too damn big though, and I used to hit my legs on it so I got a smaller wheel that made it peeeerfect.

Oh by the way, if that happens to be an S5 NA engine and you don't want to use it, I may be interested in taking it off your hands.

FWIW... DMV has (or did have) a fairly painless way of getting a non-titled car titled, presuming it's not stolen... ;)

It involves a relatively cheap 'bond' through a bonding co., probably some kind of Bill of Sale, and an affidavit or some such...

Jes a suggestion...
