New here but not to rotaries

[reddozen]

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.

If you're going to do all that, then I would recommend an 09+ engine / trans swap. Should hold up better anyway. I just already have an extra 04~08 engine, so that's the only reason I'm, not buying an 09 to do the transplant.

i would but i will probably get a front clip off a totalled car so i have all the parts i will need i will essentially put it in using the drive by wire and the cluster to save money nothing fancy.

That's cool. I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to put it in the 7... I don't think it can run the factory RX7 gauge cluster, so I may have to do something similar to you and use the cluster and everything. yay for custom fiberglass work...
