Rotary Power!
just got my 88 GTU a few days ago.... wonderful little car. I love the noise an FC's suspension makes when you go over bumps at high speeds. Nothing else in the world sounds like it. Oh, and stock Mazda LimSlipDiffs rock!

Hey, pistonless - you should come up to one of the next meets. There are about 5 FD owners, we usually go to some of the meets however most of these guys seem to spend more time working on their cars (inis) than driving them (me).
Anyhow here's the FD -

I bought mine for $4200 w/ 65K miles on it. The interior is mint, and the exterior is in great shape. What kind of suspension work do you have Mojo? I'm planning on replacing all of my bushings and putting Tokico struts and Eibach Springs on my car after its all put back together.

I have eibach springs and tokico struts, 5 way adjustable up front and non-adjustable in rear. I also have a larger rear sway bar. I love this setup, not too harsh for driving around town, and stiff enough for some "spirited" mountain driving. let me know if you'd like to check it out sometime.

What's his EMS? He couldn't be using the stock from either car.

i'll see what i can do about getting some pics, but they've put the whole estate into probate.
as for the "ems" if you're talking the computer
i'm not sure what brand, but it is a race unit
that he programed himself using stock rx telemetry as a base to work off of
p.s.
probate sucks

Does it just have an s15 front on it or did he convert the taillights too?

Damn that sounds like a pretty bad ass engine swap.Ive never heard of a swap like that.Its almost as sweet as the supra 7.For those that dont already know.Supra 7 has a supra engine in an rx 7.Now a 240 sx with a 13b in it sounds trick.You should try submitting it to some magazines.Its definatly worth a shot.I can almost guarantee it would take home first place at a car show for its originality.

oh yeah.Just ordered my blitz boost gauge.Yet another thing to cross off my want list of car parts.
Next up.A new fuel pulsation dampner and a new throttle body gasket.Mine has a cut in it and is venting boost under hard accelaration.It sometimes does it and sometimes doesnt.Night and day difference though.Plus the good ol boost gauge should help me see what the car is doing and what boost figures im really flowing.After that im getting an exhaust new lug nutz and some new shocks and maybe springs.

I wanna see pictures before I see any of this. How did you mate the jericho to the 13b? What year of 13b is it? What the hell are you talking about digital fuel injection? This isn't the fast and the furious, if you knew anything about the rotary you just can't have digital fuel injection with some other crap, stock fuel injection is digital if your talking about just an EMS. I think someone has been spending a little too much time on the internet making some frankinstein car in his mind.

i'll make this clear, i inherited this car from my late father.
all i know is what i'm reading off the notes and documents
i got out of the car before it was taken for storage, and what little i helped with
i do know the fact's that the engine, tranny, turbo's, where purchased as a package from pineapple racing here in portland oregon.
as for the ecu it was billed as a digital race unit, and that he said he reprogramed the peramaters to fit this engine.
as for the fast and furrious it sucked
btw my frankenstien car wouldnt be a meak 240 but an rb26dett r32 (best body) skyline or somthing on those lines.
p.s. probate hearings should be over soon ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, i hope, soon after pictures will follow(fingers tightly crossed)

whats up, our team domestic violence has a 93fd. J Bridge port. 3 mm apex seals built from Atkins Rotary, which they forgot to put the rear main seal in. so when we started it for the first time about 4 courts of oil was everywhere. the block cam assembled with the flywheel on. as all u rotary heads know that takes a 2 1/4 inch socket to get that bult off so that was fun findin and also fun pullin the tranny. Anyways it has a TDO4 type S turbo kit. 3 inch downpipe and cat is replaced with a 3 in midpipe, 3 in pollished hks exhaust, carbon fiber 5 inch tip. Pretty damn loud. AEM engine manage. Fuel system currently being put on at our shop located in Arvada. (aacually garage but its the shop to us if ya all know what i mean) XS front mount intercoller and a KOYO rad. 50 shot (wet) nitrous (NOS)system. Purge out of the drivers side vent. Sparco evo seat. battery in the hatch morrosa battary box, cut off switch. Currently getting a 8 point cage made. ACT 6 puch unsprung clutch, act pressure plate. Tranny being rebuilt right now 2. I hope to see all the rx7's this seasion at the track

Jeez Kodiak, That thing sounds like a monster!!! I'd love to see it as well. Keep us posted in another thread when you get it on the road and you are behind the wheel.
RotaryEX7. I'd love to see your 7 as well. Get that tranny back in and on the road so we can all see it as well.
