New Project in the Works

alright, well the s13 is practically gone right now. so ive been car shopping. i came across this FC3S in TN. they listed it for $1700, so i may be able to get them to $1500. from there i have another $2000 to sink into it at least. im aware it isnt a turbo model, but that can be fixed later. it already has a Racing Beat exhaust and a K&N filter.

heres candidate number 1:


i will update on this situation as it comes. should see something in about 2 weeks is my guess :woot:

ohh nice..1500 wasnt bad neither

 

you fucker...

have fun rebuilding the APEX seals

i know i'm not helping... well maybe... damn it i'm curiuos now... fucker...

 

mmmmmm, FC3S RX-7, my favorite here's another pic to egg you on and get you to buy teh car.

it's from RE Amemiya's site.

 

even better:

 

more inspiration, lol.


i posted some other FC pics in the RX-7/RX-8 pic thread:thumbup:

 

Nice! I almost got a 2nd gen rx7 for my first car

 

its between that one and this one right now. the first one has a maroon interior :help:

this one is just over twice the price, but its turbo :ermm:

just found a local FC. 2900, but needs engine managment and a tune. sounds like it was freshly built. i emailed for more specs and info. ill let you guys know

 

good luck tuning a rotary

 

so do you have money in hand for this or are you pulling a Mike Kroll?

 

no, i have money. 3100 or so right now before the paycheck tomorrow hsnap:

 

oh shit, so you're really going to change cars then.

well good luck with that, but is it really going to change anything?

you're going from one sports car to an even faster sports car...

redundent much?

 

note the difference. also note that i will no longer have to swap a motor to get what i want, i will already have the motor of my choice. thus, saving me 2k minimum. i just think i will be more satisfied with the FC. yeah i already know they when they break, theyre expensive. but what car isnt expensive. i plan on mainly aero and exterior mods after i get my initial mods done with. (STANCE coilovers, some suspension links, and first and foremost a good tune)

oh, and i dont have to do any front end conversions like the integra or s13 to get what i want :roflmao:

 

so are you gonna sell teh silvia? i know you said you were gonna work on it, but just wondering. i like the second FC you put up.

 

yeah the s13 is pretty much gone at this point. i just have to pull off all teh parts im keeping. he just wants a stock s13. he has his own plans and he's doing a slow build up. works for me because i already have a buyer on the front, coilovers, lip, and potentially the seats :rocks:

the second pic i put up (one with the kit) is in colorado and the most expensive out of all of them. im probably going to opt for something closer to home and cheaper (if possible), like the last one i put up

im hapy the body isnt touched much and it allows me to build the car i want with already having the power there. stock the TII (turbo model) has 205hp. so with the larger turbo, im going to guess somewhere around a healthy 250hp once i get it tuned and managed properly. should be a fun car

 

sounds like a plan man. i'm sure there's a few clean bodied FC's in the surrounding area. yeah, the last one looked like the good option to go with bro. man, this looks like it's gonna be a sick project. best of luck to ya kevin.

 

my vote is on the last one, too bad its in cop magnet red. although FCs look good in red, i rather have one in white or black

 

damn all that work on the s13 just to sell it anyways lol. Oh well on to bigger and better (faster) things!

 

what do you guys think of a supercharges MR2? i almost bought a red one for a first car and this one looks REALLY clean.
