    Looking to buy A Mazda RX-7 FD3S JGTC-spec

    you aren't disagreeing with me. i never said that it was easy, but that it wasn't that big of a deal. it's already a beaten path so the details have already been sorted out. there is no guess work. the auto diff is geared different. it's a matter of taste whether you want to use it or not...

    Looking to buy A Mazda RX-7 FD3S JGTC-spec

    first, other than the 99-spec fogs, i don't see what makes it so jdm. that is just splitting hairs on the ad though. nothing to you at all. auto FD's are/were very common, so it is very common to make the swap for a manual trans. there are many write-ups on it if you look around, so if you are...

    Got me a FC

    i completely missed this. the FD bores still fit the FC, but they look funny on front without a lot of spacing. as for being smaller, they couldn't be that much smaller if they are.

    Hello all! (RX7 newbie)

    They force you to buy the insurance when you buy the car. There is really no way around it. A friend of mine toured there in the marines and bought a car while there. It's still there as far as I know because the registration in america would have been ridiculous.

    Hello all! (RX7 newbie)

    The main bit of advice that I have for you is to go to the big city parts of japan to buy. You will be forced to buy either 6 months or a year worth of insurance up front, but cars in the bigger parts of japan lose value quickly. Japan is one of the places where they try to discourage you from...

    WTB: P5 OBX Header

    I have an obx that I would let go for cheap. It has a couple of cracked welds though, so you would need to patch it up or else your car would tick.

    the forums automatically block certain combos of words with no space. keeps things like *************, ***************, and ********** off of our forums. we definitely don't need ********** on here. anyways, we may do that if my wife doesn't want to go. just don't pull the old, "they only had a...

    I'm not sure if the wife is going or not. If not, I will probably split a room with someone. I found a hotel with an indoor pool and poolside bar. That will probably be the afterhours spot if I stay there.
