name is jose from los angeles currently own 09 civic si with full bolt ons and tune. Looking to explore into rotary power hopefully a 1st gen rx7.

 

Well, Jose, thanks for taking the time to register and welcome aboard to RX-7 Club!

The more 1stgen folk who join, the better, so I hope you find that SA/FB and save another one from the crusher! I've got a couple of FB's myself.

O I love the title. I was a Honda guy to for a while and I do miss it very much. Had a Crx built up for autox in SM class and it was a blast beating cars that were way more expensive. The rotory experience is much different and not as easy to work on as a Honda. These cars have a temper and need love all the time, cant just beat on it like a Honda.

 

Welcome to the dark side.

 

nice - welcome to rotary world...first gen is quite affordable and very light...GLW the search!

 

nice welcome I used to be the zetec guy ha ha now I'm looking for an rx7. Anyways welcome to the club

 

Your gonna miss the MPG of the Honda,but welcome.1st gens are classics in my eyes.

 

welcome to the rotary world

 

well at least you're already used to the lack of torque

 

bro once you go with a rotary you wont go back, i would go with a 2nd gen rx7,

 

welcome! I came from the vtec world too.... I had a ls/vtec and a b20 fully built both prepared and tuned by eugene castro at prostreet import... very fast and reliable... but fd3s is just awesome.... and i went for 1

 

GL with the search. A VTEC powered car was my first car. I loved my 93 Prelude VTEC, it was a great little car except for the lack of torque.

 

lol. welcome to the forums and good luck!

 

welcome to the forum good luck with your goals

 

thanks guys! looking forward to getting a 1st gen and nobody warned me about the lack of torque! but then again im use to it.

 

Hey man welcome
Vtec owner, x2, here.
I too am looking for a FD however I don't race my cars or do anything more than have them look good

 

You may be in for a shock working on a rotary vs a piston engine like your Honda. Piston engine are way more forgiving and will limp you home more reliably in the event of a catastrophe. Find one that been taken care of and have fun, though!

 

cool. were almost the same. im coming from honda land myself and just got an fd. its wayyyy different. forget what you know =[

 

I had 3 EG civics, an s13, and now I own my FD. Out of all the cars I love the FD the most. Vtec was fun but it was time to go from toys to MAN toys :P A rotary is a whole new world. Make sure you do your research

 

I think its a different kind of fun.
I have 2 VTECs.. odyssey (lol), S2000 AP1.
Also have FC3S turbo II, and a STI.
they are all fun in their ways.

by the way, 3 of the above 4 has won the international engine of the year!
(im cheating a bit since the rotary engine that won is the 2003 rx-8 engine)
if you include my brothers M3, thats 4 out of 5!

 

The civic committed suicide about eight months ago(hydrolocked). So now I'm really needing a first gen!

 

91 FC and you'll never look back!

 

Rotary is an addiction

 

Welcome GL finding your FB/SA

 

Awesome man glad your here, hope you find what your looking for and when you do...post some pictures!
