so the austin is out for paint and a crispy new interior and i got sick and tired of driving an old womans car (88 jag xj6) so i craigslisted and snatched up this little fc3 for pretty cheap to tinker around on. its got a 13b 2 turbine, 5 speed. she is probably 70 to 80% weight reduced, radio, speakers.

the future of the car is going to start with suspension im going with a full coilover suspension, 5 lug conversion, big brake kit, finish out the body, then a full 20b tt transplant. its definately a project car... but hopefully will give me a good weekend project. comments are appreciated

Call me strange, but I've always liked this generation of RX7. Looking forward to updates

i have one of those in my backyard. 86 gxl i picked up (wasn't running) for $300. mmm... rotary.

What's funny to me is people bragging about beating Cavaliers in street races.

Why would is be strange? The FC is a great car. Maybe I'm saying that because I'm a sucker for 80s styling. Flip up headlights and angular body lines FTW!

Even though there is gargantuan amounts of win in a ls1, to me those swaps are just wrong. A rotary engine is the unique thing about any rx. IMO if you want an ls buy a corvette.

yeah def not feeling an ls1, i have already fell in love with the rotary althogh a full ls1 swap would cost me a solid 2500 less than the 20b is going too.

LS1 + RX7 + 2 BIG ASS TURBOS =
