Damn that is CLEAN! Looks like it's straight out of the showroom...well, with a major mistake in the engine bay, but clean all the same LOL. Wow.

Actually we just had this discussion with one of our buddies this weekend. I love the 2JZ and RB engines and I think they're fantastic engines, but I'll always love Rotaries the most lol.

Well ive gone through the rotary engine and had overheating problems that i couldnt control twice, and i had boost problems and unreliable help. So i decided that im bad luck around them. I was new to the rotary scene too. If i had the knowlege i have now about vehicles i would have stuck with the rotary but too late haha. I was gonna do the V8 swap but that was way over done ( no offense to you v8 rx7 guys, its still a excellent engine) so i deciced i wanna do a RB swap but found out that is way to much money and then i found Tech2 motorsports and decided to go with the jz series engines :)....thanks for the comments by the way. I didnt totally bastardize my 7 since im keeping some japanese soul in it ;)

Black anodizing makes my FMIC look like a stock radiator (as if an FD can be a sleeper!)
Zoom zoom, baby...
