I am new to the FB forum, I'm an FD owner. Grand-dad decided to give away his 1st gen; I can't wait to get started.

It's an '85 GSL-SE, and I believe the mileage is about 170k. Definitely highway miles, all the gravel guard is perfect; just some bug chips on the front. There's a dent on the front fender that can be seen in the photo, that's 1st on my list.

This car has a great wing. You can barely make it out in the photo. I haven't found anything in the forum about it. There is also some really nice stainless trim. I have a targa band new in the box that I'm planning on installing. Any objections?

Let me know what you guys think.

And welcome to the 1st gen. section

 

Thanks!

 

Ok...so no more comments???

i've just decided to turn mine into a project, after the mom and step-dad cough up a graduation present...an FC

i am one lucky little bastard

looks good man,good luck

nice! i say if its running good keep it as is...as stuff may go...then come in with the aftermarket...beautiful car from the 2 pix though

 

Thats the best looking brown RX-7 I've seen. Very clean, props to your Grandpa.

What's your plans with it?

 

Plans:

I'll probably be keeping it stock. There is always the possibility of suspension upgrades along with wheels (but I really like the GSL-SE wheels).

I'd like to make it a little more road worthy above 70 mph...make it a nice road machine.

Oh, when Grand-dad bought it 3 years ago...I spotted it, and he bought it a couple weeks later. There's an Turbo II in his driveway right now...I hope he doesn't sell it!

Your floor mats are on the wrong sides

Very clean car! That Rx-8 shift **** looks great in your FD, too! I've done a few small mods to my SE that make it my favorite daily driver: exhaust, intake, suspension, wheels, etc.

Keep it close to stock-at least in the looks department, clean SE's are getting harder to come by...

 

I definitely plan on keeping the looks close to stock. I'll get those floor mats fixed!

The only aesthetic mods would be the targa top and possibly a set of wheels.
