Looking for an FC for autoX
Hey everyone.My Name is Jonathon,and I am from New Hampshire. I've grown up as a car enthusiast since I was born. I was always helping my dad restore porsches and muscle cars (his profession). My first love with Japanese imports started with my purchase of a mk3 supra as my second car while still in high school. Sadly, I sold it to go to college, vowing that one day I would, once again own another mk3 supra when I had the money and time to build one.
Fast forward 10 years, now I've been building a 450rwhp summer daily driver mk3 supra for about 5 years. She's now basically a finished project (minus a respray) and a few other minor things. This car is 99.99999% brand new...and I do mean almost everything is new or upgraded. Having the supra on it's final stage of being built to my goal, it's time for me to begin another project. Recently, I've really gotten interested in autox'ing, road racing, and hill climb. The supra, being a highway queen automatic...although she'll do a 1/4 in the 11's, is not up to the task being a fat pig (3600lbs). So I've been talking to the local guys here who race, and they recommended an miata (I'm too big for a miata, and it's not my style), a 944, a civic, an old impreza R n/a, or a RX7. Of all of these, I'm strongly considering an rx7. I've been exploring buying a fb vs. an fc. I've seen that they both have advantages and disadvantages with my preliminary research. A few friends said they'd off to let me test pilot their rx7's to get a feel. Honestly, I'm pretty excited about picking up an rx7. I'm getting into this forum to get help picking and modding an rx7. Anyways, that's me... |
