Hey Nicoclub, I've been a long time lurker to the site and love all the info and pics that the site has. A little about myself... I'm an avid import car guy mostly into the Japanese imports and have a few over the years. Other than my current project (300zx), one of my other favourite builds was a Mazda RX7 FC3S. I've had the car for about a year and a half, and continuously added to it whenever I've found time too. Anyways, I thought I'd share a couple pics of my current build which is work in progress. Here's how it sat the day I bought it.... Completely stock except 350z wheels and clear corners. The car was mint inside and out with only 106K original kms.

And here's how it currently sits after major work on it. I have a extensive list of what's been done to it but it's too long to list at this point. I'm currently finishing the body work and starting a pretty extensive motor build this summer. I absolutely love this car and plan on keeping it a LONG time. If anyone has any questions or comments feel free to ask.

Thanks! I was looking through your build thread... Your build is vey similar to what I had in mind. How much power are you producing? I'm thinking of going with Garrett GT2560R Turbos though...

Very clean, one of my favorite builds as well was the FC. Had an 88 convertable with the turbo II swap. Very fun car, one of the few cars I wish I never got rid of. Something about the rotary engine that gets me all giddy inside.

Definitely a fun car! I had a 87 turbo 2 with a fully built motor and street ported. It's a sound that just can't be replicated. It's a great car, but the maintenance and finicky electrical issues was enough to keep me away at least for now... lol. I swear to god I must have re-soldered half the electrical components in that f'n thing!

I'm not even sure how much power it makes haha. I haven't had it dynoed yet but when I do I'll post up a video.
