congrats dude. when you look at some mods, let us know. dave can get you some parts and both of us will help with some tech. FC's are fun either naturally aspirated or turbo, so you can't go wrong either way. sorry if i ruined your unveiling by posting the thread.

congrats and good luck. I had my snows/winter wheels bolted onto my rx8 yesterday, and my mechanic was refurbing a stock turbo from an 88 Turbo2 when I left. He showed me a crack on the inside of the exhaust manifold that was cracked. He said it had been like that for 6 years. :rofl: people think the 13b's are so fragile, but I tend to think a lot of the cars are pretty strong.

This is her fist thing i will do id body work and paint oh and paint the pink pully i dont know why it is pink.

 

[CorkSport]

Pink pulley! I had a quick laugh, maybe the previous owner was trying to get the RE-Amemiya pink and blue scheme going under the hood.

so what is the first mod i should look into i was thinking header and full exhaust what do u think? also can u turbo the n/a motor or just better to do a turbo swap

 

[lil_red_wagon]

it's better to do a swap, but you can turbo an n/a motor. it is a lot less headache just getting at least a complete motor and adding a FMIC or a turbo II hood (since the stock t II is top mounted)

looks like a great project. i definitely think that you will enjoy this better than the crx.

 

[2001 mp3]

yeah i already have had some fun getting sideways the previous owner said he opened the butterflies in the intake and ported tb she runs very good.

First thing first.. TUNE UP

New NGK oem plugs
NEW NGK wires
New fuel filter
new air filter
change your oil
change trans oil
change dif fluid
change coolant and thermostat (use Nippon or OEM stat only)
check brakes (replace what is worn)
check tires and suspension

Now on to the fun stuff:
exhaust
TRUE cold air intake or cold air box
and suspension upgrades.

otherwise after that you get into internal porting or upgrading to forced induction.
