New Ride (not a dsm tho)
« on: October 23, 2005, 10:43:51 pm »
after a looong debate over what  to get, a turbo dsm or turbo rotory, friends with rx7's convinced me to go rotory and so i did..afer selling my 1993 Honda Prelude, i found an awesome deal on a turbo FC with a new engine with 6000km's on it

car came with quite a few mods as well so that was a plus for me as i didnt have to worry about any fuel control (soon to be changed to microtech) or anything like that

anyways, enuf talk..here is a link to my cardomain page..has pics [newer, more recent pics with hid's and driving lights coming soon] and my mod list so far - http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2114957

thx,
Shaan

Put a small block chevy in it   8)

Nice looking car, a buddy used to have one and they ride/handle really nice.  The passenger seat has no footroom tho, I don't understand why they did that.

lol...small block chevy would be cool....but i like the rotory sound...sounds like a bloody motorcycle lol (plus, putting a chevy motor in is just asking to be ridiculed by every rx7 owner out there lol..most don't like the idea of swapping the engine out unless it is for a 20B (3 rotor)

my passenger seat actually has alot of footroom believe it or not...maybe it's cause i have aftermarket seats....and it handles liek you wouldn't believe....can take corners at twice the posted limit and never feel unsafe cause it is so tight and stable

Really?  I think my buddy's is a '91 and the passenger side footwell is like 6" shorter than the drivers.  It's not a turbo but I'd be a little surprised if the turbo cockpit was bigger than the NT.

very nice :)  I also made a choice, and the TurboII was one of the short-lists.

Glad I got the AWD, but those are still great.
