Hi, goodluck with your project

Thats a lot of "need work" arrows. But over all the car doesn't look that bad at all. Mind if I ask how much you paid for it?

Congrats and Welcome, from Indy.

whutauno

Thanks for all the welcomes. Hopefully I can eliminate some of those "need work" arrows pretty soon.

i traded my 1994 kawasaki kx125 and 300 bucks.

the hood isnt real carbon fiber, its the stock hood with carbon fiber duct tape on it... previous owner was "ghetto"

lol, im gonna take the tape off and paint it flat black.

ill keep updated photo's posted.

You and me are on the same boat w? getting an FC as a project car. I get mines on Saterday already put the Down payment on it. Now I only owe a couple of bucks on it..... Rotary is so the way to go.

dude i dont usually like decals on cars but i dont mind that one on your car... i dont think it looks bad at all!

whutauno

thanks, I'm not real big on decals either, but I think I'm gonna leave it on there until I repaint it. I got new rims for it today but I'm not going to be able to pick them up until sometime this weekend. I will keep updated pictures on here to show how the project is going.

whutauno

also, does anyone know where I can get cheap coilovers and how much would they run me?

blackedoutFC3S

iTrader: (7)

when you say cheap do you mean around 1000ish? or less?

and do you want them new or used?

Good looking car. I am also looking to get into a project car. Maybe....

randallrx7

Hello and welcome! I am also from Indiana i am in Jefferonville just got my 1993 rx7 today blown motor and tranny lots of work to do cant wait to get it started

whutauno

I was hoping I could get some for around 500 or 600. And I'm looking to get new ones. Idk if that is possible but I'm really tight on money lol.

No new coilovers for that low. For that price range, a new set of KYB AGX adjustable shocks or the Tokico Illumina adjustables and your choice of springs would work.

Nice diagrams by the way. The sticker doesn't look half bad. I'd leave it on until it was repainted as well. Those look like black Turbo wheels you have on there... interesting. The hood though... not so cool :P

Congratulations, fellow 87 GXL owner.
