a little history...
First i wanted an rx7, but thought it was impractical because it was a two seat... saw and fell in love with the rx8. had quiet a history. i bought the 8 and 2 years later decided to throw a greddy turbo on it.. 6 months later my E-shaft blew. so then came the first rebuild. got the car back drove around for 2 weeks after 2 gallons of antifreeze, figured it was time to go back to the shop. engine ended up being cracked. rebuild #2, engine #3.... was installed fired up, and sounded wrong... compression showed i believe 120psi and 70psi. shitty motor... onto rebuild #3, engine #4. finally got the car back this is after 6 months of the car sitting in the shop and though to myself fck rotaries. i started looking at boosting an is300 then ended up here. i sold the 8 and was on the hunt for a 7. i bought my first FD from FL and shipped it over intending to use it as a roller and building it up. terrible idea, i knew of a bad interior but the car was much more then i could handle. sold it off and went hunting for a new one. ending up flying to illinois at 6am and driving it back 861 miles, returning to NJ at 230am... long journey but well worth it!
i dont have much mechanical know how but ive always loved building things and putting things together. ive done headers to exhausts, intakes, pulleys, spark plugs, springs, oil changes but not much more than that. with that in mind this should be a fun build!
