Turbo II RX-7 is the first car I ever drove.

My mom's boyfriend back in 1991 had a brand new one. I was a little bastard back then. And I got to sit in his lap and steer as he drove it. I was like OMG THIS IS THE GREATEST CAR EVER.

Fell in love since then. I bought an FC years ago, with a blown apex seal. Rebuilt it, and sold it for my current FC. I've put about $9,000 into my FC, not counting what I paid for it. If not more. About to buy new suspension too.

As for my FD, I am about to get ahold of a Spirit R spoiler and bumper, and fenders. I dunno if the fenders will fit. But I'll make it work. After I get it painted with the engine and everything thrown back together, I'll take a ton of pictures. I considered a 20b swap. But I wanna keep my 13bREW. I was thinking about getting RX8 seats though, I love those things.

Hum, I've heard something about the later FD front bumpers not fitting well with the earlier FD's because of fenders or something. I dunno, the only guy I know that owns an FD around here has a kit on it. Maybe I was misinformed though. That'd make things easier for me.

Yeah, that R3 8 is nice, the seats are heaven. I've not really decided what I'm gonna do as far as that goes, I just really like the rotor accents on the seats of the 8. As for my FD, it's an R1. Completely stock. Gonna more or less stay that way, aside from suspension, and small reliability mods.

Or maybe I should throw some super sweet nyooonz on there. Naw jk

I'm out in North Carolina half of the year.

The other half of the year is spent in Chiba and Tokyo. As well as Kyoto every once in a while. Since my girlfriend is from Chiba and likes to visit home often. Yeah, I'll get some pictures up when I throw the engine back in. Everything is really clean. I'm thinking about just repainting it at the moment though. I dunno really though, I'm not much for planning ahead, I'm more of a spur of the moment kinda guy. At any rate, much appreciated. I remember seeing a lot of your pictures and videos from the last time you were in Japan on RX7club. 4 rotor goodness. mmm.

Favorite car?...hmm...

Realistically (something feasible for me to buy at the moment): either an Audi TT or a Porsche Cayman (Heh! I could be another Blackbird...)

Dream car: Maserati MC12 Corsa (preferrably the Edo-tuned variant)

Always wanted a Porsche Carrea GT.

theres a really nice one for sale on zilvia.com, and probably on the lexus forums as well. 12k

I have a new favorite car: the new Challenger SRT-8 w/ exhaust

I'm a big fan of the R32 GTR. I own one currently and i absolutely love this car. I never knew grip like this until I drove it. Godzilla FTW!



It's going to be a tough decision on keeping this car or going to an R34 in the future.

Runners up would have to be Rx7's, Evo's, and S30's.

Would not trade this:



For the one behind it.



That's like asking me to trade my wife for a younger, smarter and sexier girl. Besides, less people seem to lust over the 32... and I'm the jealous type.

R32 is awesome isnt the first one J the shop demo car or something like that. when will you actually gonna own it lol

Well.. if you insist. Pls Don't spoil teh spoiler in other parts of teh forum.

SPOILER

I can probably buy it off them in a few years. For now I'm a co-owner and insurer/ed. They've pretty much taken care of maintenance and use it maybe 80% of the time until I decide to buy them out. They will probably support a project FD when this project becomes purely my own. However with the economy going to shits, they've indicated a desire to invest a little more in this project due to the logistics of getting a new car. My only request was that the vehicle not be devalued by actions such as removing OEM interior parts and upholstery/ installation of permanent fixtures preveting the return of OEM parts to the car. It is a V Spec II after all.. I'm sure the people I'm involved with will want to keep in touch with me even after it's all mine though.

i dont know why but i just cant image you with a V Spec more like on a BMW or Audi
