I'd like to see a well-maintained/well-restored 1st-gen. RX-7. I'm thinking of purchasing one as a daily-driver but the only FB's I ever see are in bad shape.

Uh, do you want a 1st gen or 2nd gen? You say 2nd gen and FB in the same sentence. I'm assuming you mean 1st gen (FB). If you check the RX's for sale in the forums, you can find some very well maintained FB's.

I meant 1st-gen. (I dunno why I typed "2nd").


Yeah, I checked the for-sale forum as well as Ebay and saw a couple nice ones, but I was hoping to find better pics.

do like i did, be an idiot and buy the worst car you can buy for your money because you fell in love with it at first sight. drive it for a few months or until it finally breaks down and spend your every penny restoring it if you do this youll have to buy another car just to drive while your new fb is on jackstands 1/2 way taken apart.

ohh, and heres some of my favorite 1st gen pics:





i know this belongs to a forum member but i dont know who's this is.

Boohame, my tails are going to look so great on your car. I honestly think that no Nitshades or only 1 light to medium coat would look really great.
