Hey all!

As the title states, im in the process of buying an 86 FC3S(4?) N/A 5 speed. One of the members on my other car forums is selling it to me for a good deal. I've always wanted a rotary, loved the concept, sound and possibilities the little 1.3L can accomplish. Not familiar with the rotary intricacies but ive been wrenching on my own cars for the last 8 years or so. My major claim to fame is my one of a kind DD: 92 Plymouth Sundance Duster 5sp with a 00-05 Mitsubishi 3.0 24v v6, Megasquirted swap.

Ideally id like to swap a Turbo-II motor or even a 13BT-REW FD3S motor, but for now, getting the 7 running is first. Thanks already for the warm welcome, posted a need yesterday and its already resolved. I got directed here from the "other site" by the rx-7 seller. :)

Welcome. Any pics of the Duster? And BTW, go 13BT or 13B-RE in the FC, much easier than an REW.

heres some pics/vids of the duster. doesnt look like much but 14.847@94.29 (not vid recorded :( ) on a pig rich tune isnt bad IMHO, dynoed at 189whp201tq on the same tune, im probably over 200whp now with a better tune. (btw, pics with a red nose are newest {damn truck facing the wrong way in the wrong lane around a blind corner :banghead:})

Yes to your question (at least I think it's a question) about your car being an s4, (series 4) were produced between 86 and 88 models years, series 5 fc's were 89-91, with the overstock verts being sold in 92.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong on the vert thing, but I believe that's what I've read.
