Hi, just got my registration accepted, all human, first timer...it all started when I was about 12yo can't remember I saw that cool new car (a 3rd gen silver) driving by with a certain unique sound and then years later I saw that 2nd gen sky metallic blue 1987 Turbo II with moonroof for sale in a used car dealer just by the main boulevard of my hometown (there were so rare in Canada, it came from the west by a RCMP guy) and I lowered the price from 5500$Can to 3500$ since I made the salesman understand although I was just 18yo I new that if I ran a compression test etc etc that I was his best shot at selling the car (I would rater pay 2500$ but since I really want the car....)...Deal! I ran the comp test and it was border line, well I put a turbo timer and ran the engine until it blew up a few months later slightly after the premier release of Fast and Furious...everyone was cranked up after the movie: donuts, racing etc etc (this movie is the main movement of in my hometown for RX-7, tuning and of course rice boys hehe it really started a trend that fade away with time)...long story short everyone was coming to my car after the movie I was the only owner around...I only have two regrets: not having the money to buy a 3rd gen back then and second to have tried to make a V8 conversion with the car...entered university abroad, project died, sold the car...the dream fade off.
After a few muscle cars and 11 years passing by as Arnold would say: I'M BACK! Looking to build/buy a 20B with a fat T78 or T88 turbo hehe I have to do my homework all over again, best apex seals...this site is HUUUGE! Where to start?
