RE: Bought Myself My First Ever Sports Car..! All Thanks to The STEEM Network!

Siiiiick whip brah! Haha.

I can tell you that you will love it. I have owned 2 FB's, an FC, an FD, and an RX-8.

Pro-tip: add a little 2-stroke oil to the gas tank JUST in case the oil metering fucks up. A 32-year old oil pump and degraded plastic/rubber bits may not get enough oil to the apex/side/corner seals. In my FC, I raced it hard on a cold engine and blew an apex seal. I rebuilt that engine myself. Fun project, but not fun experience blowing the motor. I think that 1/2oz of 2-stroke oil per gallon should suffice, and it's cheap insurance.

I also did swap a 13B into one of my FB's in the hopes of turning it into a rally car. I got the motor in, but later abandoned the project. You can drift these cars, but the secret sauce is in the right suspension, LSD (differential, not C20H25N3O) and tire setups. The 13B is more powerful, but all rotaries lack torque. You gotta use weight transfer and other factors to nail a DORRIFTUUUUUU!!

Nice acquisition, @klye!!
