thanks i have put a lot of time and money into the FD.

no its a gt i checked the vin with ray crowe before i bought it. it was ordered as a gt but with cloth interior the guy that owned it before me hated leather. the sport didn't come with heated mirrors. the grand touring is the touring package plus leather seats, 8 way pwr drivers seat, heated front seats with pwr lumbar support. U couldn't get the heated or pwr seats unless it was leather and he opted out of the leather but wanted the heated mirrors.

yeah the guy was kinda loaded i like his taste kinda wish he would have opted for navi though since its my daily. he owns his own body shop and drag racing team told me he was only selling it cause his wife wanted a boat and he wasn't going in debt for a f@#$kin boat so he sold this, a 7.5sec promod drag car with trailer. i don't know what kind of boat it is but its gotta be expensive.

My FC was ordered special like that too. It's a 91 overstock (92 sold).
It has all the turbo options without the turbo drive-train. I can't wait to get my FC running again.

BTW, you were talking about Renesis goodness, I'll be putting a Renny in the FC. I haven't decided yet if the bridge-ported renny is going in the RX8 or the FC... I want it in both... lol. If I like it in the 8, I may have Brian Cain port my other engine for the FC... we'll see... The motor going in the 7 will have some experimental parts in it so I may be forced to leave it stock just to get an accurate test out of it.

ur right i would test ur parts first but speaking of renisis swaps my fiance's miata will be getting one. she originally wanted a '99 FD engine with the twins but in a 2300lb miata i think that with a intercooler and power FC would be too much. I am thinking a bone stock renisis with the 6spd would be perfect in that car i have already started measuring.

Is that a GT-K on your REW? I having seen many guys running one of those. Great setup by the way. Welcome.

thanks

no, currently the GT-K is not configurable so u have to buy one off the shelf with what ever specs they make. I custom ordered mine it is a turbonetics 62-1 with a .81 ar ratio and ceramic ball bearings. if i had bought the standard 62-1 it would have be a 1.10 ar ratio.
