its turbo?

The JFT was the factory 2.0L turbo 90 degree V6.

You have a very rare car and honestly something I've been looking for. There were only 200 manual tranny 929s imported to the US.

Yeh I'm in Australia, i bought it for $500 but it had some panel damage, it's coming along slowly. So does anyone know where I can get things for it as mentioned above? Thanks guys ur being real helpful hey.

They also came out as the JDM Luce in Japan with the 13b turbo, and the 3.0L DOHC V6 auto.....i have no idea how many jft manuals were shipped to Australia.....would be cool to get some facts, I have never seen ANY in Perth (Western Australia).

The 5speed 929 were very rare in all models, in Japan they were only found in the 13B and JFT models, and in US/Canada the were found with the 3L SOHC V6 models and again very very rare, ive only seen one other 5speed and it was an 88 so I guess Im lucky.

BTW that 200 number is a low estimate maybe its 400-500 hundred but im unsure, Ive been tryin to find out for years

here is a JFT from Japan if youre tryin to get ideas on an intake, all you need is an adapter plate for the intake, and fabricate a heat shield if u want

Eventually after i get it over the pits, i would be after a cold air intake for it, possibly a new intercooler (dunno how that would work cuz the radiator takes up all the room), new exhaust, possibly a new gearbox (it has a 2nd gen rx7 gearbox in it - very crap), and just little s*** for it like new locks etc.

pm me some time and i'll see if i can help you out
