Nothing like dropping several thousand dollars on an engine that will last a best case scenario of ~30K miles, and a more likely 8-10K miles.
Lack of torque is another weak point. You hear rotary guys speak of "huge torque turbo engines" LOL, yeah, 350 HP with 230 lbs of torque is "huge"
Car looks great RX-7. Maybe I'll do an FD one of these days. Anyone wanna sponsor me?

The car looks great. How long before you can fire it up?
One question: Where did you get those tie rod ends? I'm having big bump steer issues and need something like that to adjust my tie rod angle. Maybe I can adapt those to my tie rods.

Hopefully have it running by the end of this month.
I got the tie rod ends, from hinsonsupercars.com. He makes a kit, it takes some time to get the parts but well worth the wait.
Hind sight is 20/20, that being said I would have taken the intake, ac, starter, wire harness, and the shifter not just the **** at the 2 screws off. Also I would have seperated the engine and trans or taken the engine sub frame out and put the motor and trans in as one. Other than that it went fairly smooth.
