Thank you for all the compliments guys.

I'm glad to see everyone appreciate my build. Here are my answer to the questionare:

Q: Tell us about how you acquired this car?
A: I always wanted to have both a fd and a fc, so after my 93 blew I found a great deal on a 1990 turbo on Craigslist. I bought this car from a guy in Oceanside and it just snowballed into what you see in the pictures.

Q: Favorite stretch of road to drive your car on (location)?
A: It’s a tie between PCH and Angeles Crest

Q: Whats the biggest reason you chose a rotary powered car to modify?
A: This car originally was intended to be my daily driver but as fate would have it, I ended up building this car up and putting my 93 on hold.

Q: What are the future plans on this car?
A: I am currently rebuilding the engine with a GT3582R, bigger ports, Vmount, etc. I also have a Tamon designs full CF hood waiting to go on the car. Here’s a few sneak peek pictures:

Q: What was the worst and best memory of this project?
A: The best memory will be when I finally complete the car and the worst was having a rebuilt engine last 4,000 miles only to blow.

Q: Any other hobbies besides cars?
A: I also collect antique weapons (random I know cars and swords).

Q: Anyone you'd like to thank?
A: My family, my girlfriend (Jen), Alex + Hector at Integrated Performance, Joji at Wheel Choice, everyone who voted, and anyone else I forgot to mention.

Q: Anything in the pipeline for another ROTM win?
A: I’m currently building my 1993 rx7 and I dd a 91 NA.

Finally here are a couple more pics:

Here are some older pics with my Racing Hart C2’s before I put the AW7’s on:
