Don't pay any attention to the above post, try the New Member's Forum, you won't get that there LOL.
|
Details? Details? Oh, and details...
*Welcome* |
You double zip tie all the vaccuum hoses yet so they dont fly off?
Oh..and welcome! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif |
40,000 miles, 3mm apex seals, slight engine port, pettit ecu upgrade, 3" downpipe and cat back, TKT pulley kit, running 10 psi, then slowly creeps to 12, B&M short throw, aluminum air splitter. Garage kept. Emaculate.
Performance wise I'm only going to add a nice FMIC, get hard piping, APEX'i BOV, turbo timer, and a boost controller. The rest will be looks. Got it for $16,500. |

Got it for $16,500. Good job, cept you forgot color and options..and PICS! (Did you buy it off a Rotary fanatic? From here or the *other* forum?) https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683246.gif |
It's stock red with the R1 package. I got it off of Autotrader. I'll take some pics when I get the chance.
|
start saving for the new engine@@@
|
congrats on the purchase and joining the forum, u wont regret either.
is this your first rotary?? i owned a first gen and then went straight to third gens, and its being a lil hard to get used to it. im starting to really like it now as opposed to not much when i first got it. |
It would not hurt to take a drive to Pettit Racing and have Cameron look the car over. It sounds like they already did go through it
TKT = Turn Key Terror https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png The Pettit ECU is programmed to handle more boost so you are probably fine. I personally would schedule to do a pull on Pettits dyno to make sure its not running lean. We (Mazdadrifter and I) should be heading to Tower Shops in January. Hope we can meet up. I am about 30 minutes North of West Palm. |
Awesome give me a pm before you head down.
And yes it's my first rotary. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png |

Congrats, I just wish you didnt plan on modding the body.
They look good already. What did you plan on doing? |
hey let me know when you guys go to the tower shops, im like 30-45 mins away from that. been there a few times...
|
Congrats! Check out the 99 spec body pieces..
|
OH yey another FD owned by a teenager
|
I guve it 3 months :(
|
Yea I don't want anything too wild. The simplest I would go is probably the Spirit R stuff. Either the Mazdaspeed GTC body kit, and for a second I was eyeing the wide bodies from RE but I don't think I want to go that far. Either get a red w/ orange pearl or black paint job with the flat clear RE Amemiya headlight kit. Carbon fiber wing and hood and some nice machined rims.
If anyone has any other suggestions feel free to let me know. And if you can, post pictures or links that would be great since I'm still new to the RX world, even though I've wanted one for God only knows how long. |
congratulations.
|
Are you paying your own insurance?

I'm paying for the car and the insurance. Just because I'm 18 doesn't mean I don't make more money than a well off adult. That's what a good education in computers will get you folks.
|
I think they were hinting at you being irresponsible. You see teenagers+fast cars=irresponsibility. They go hand and hand.
|
Vast Majority of FD's owned by people <25 end up WRECKED!!!
|
vast majority of fd's have been wrecked, i know of 2 with original paint
|
I know of 1, been owned by the same owner since new!
Of course we won't count the replacemnet drivers door, |
Yea I know they're dangerous. It's a lot of power that I'm going to have to respect... You don't drive the car, it takes YOU for a ride. I think I'll be ok though...

Ummm not really....I don't agree with that completely. I am 19 and I have done evrything to my car! Just rebuilt my own engine this past weekend. Now being 18 and learning how to drive on an FD. That is a different story! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.png
I was just pointing out what TTT meant. |

I drive two FD's and have not wrecked either one...
One is with 300+ rwhp... ...OK OK i hit a deer going 15 mph....but i dont see that as a 'wreck, just very bad luck.... The majority, perhaps. But dont underestimate somebody's driving ability just because their age.. |

Holy crap... Flame me some more why don't you. It's a figure of speech. I know how to drive and I know to give respect when it's due. Get off my back.
