Well, I am a fan in the sense that the LSD diff can fit the B2600 rear end...

Thanks, this is the first sports car I've owned so it's fast to me.
It handles like it's on rails.

Not an rx8 fan but i love rotaries and rx7's!
The rx8 engine is quite different than the earlier 13b engines.
If u have questions feel free to hit me up

Yeah, I would like to bag it and get black 18s for it but it won't be anytime soon. From research it sounds like I should upgrade the ignition system as soon as I can.
Thanks mymmeryloss!
I'm sure I'll have some questions for you!
Is rew another name for the 13b that came in the RX-7?
I'm a rotary newb.

There are many different versions of the 13b. You have the renesis.
There is the 12a that wax in the 1st gen rx7 and then series 4/5 which came n/a and forced induction in the fc chassis. TurboII was obviously the turbocharged version.
Then there was the series 6 which was in the 93+ and then the 20b is the cosmo 3 rotor. Theres lots of info out there and big and little differences between each generation namely motor mounts and oil and cooling passages. Also different electrical and emissions bullshit

Thanks mymemmoryloss and Angus, I'm guessing the 20B is the more desirable of the rotaries.
