hey how is everybody?
Hope you all had a nice new year I know I did.
Well my name is Dan and I live in what I consider "mid-state" new york which is to say just about halfway between Albany and NYC. I'm new to this forum but have owned my FC for the past 2 and a half years. I have many plans for the car but have had a fair amount of financial struggle so it has taken a backseat until I can once again save enough money to do some substantial work to her.
So far on my 88 Fc I have done a 5 lug swap and installed vented rears and 4 piston front calipers. Installed tokico blue shoks with racing beat springs. Racing beat sway bars. A rebuilt transmission with a stage 2 center force clutch and pressure plate. Also a lightweight aluminum flywheel.
The car came with an Apexi cat back exhaust and K&N filter.
The car has been stripped of all emissions and right now I am working on getting the Racing Beat true Duals exhaust because the noise from my "cannons" has become unbearable and expensive. Once I manage to procure another automobile shes gonna come off the road and I'm gonna pull the engine out and hopefully give it a little overhaul.
I like the rest of us have many extravagant ideas in my head with where I would like the build of my car to go. So here's to wishful thinking, hopefully one day when time and money allows she will get a fully custom supercharger kit made up of a pro-charger inter cooled centrifugal supercharger strapped to a 6-port engine. N/A transmission swapped with miata internals and a nice Kaaz 1.5 way lsd. All typical heavy duty suspension work applies i.e. coil over suspension, strut tower bars, etc...
well that's my rant and a little insight to my rotary dreams.
Oh and on a side note I think that the Norton NRV588 is one of the coolest rotary vehicles to come about recently. Absolutely love the variable geometry ITB set up on that bike.
