MD Eh...it's mine.

Well, I decided to go ahead and humiliate myself by showing you all my simple FC...
I give you, some shitty pics of my 87. I will definitely be uploading some better ones quite literally, tomorrow. However, these will have to do to just give you the basic outlook...at night, it looks much better. I do need, however, better wheels/rims/tires and I would definitely like to get a Borla cat-back w/ a new pre-silencer. Here it is.


Want it painted MB or Canary Yellow w/ a redone interior...

Switch was installed by me, and the vent fan is fixed..courtesy of mazdatrix.com, and them being the only person like, ever, to sell OEM interior things at what one could suggest as being reasonable.

The paint looks good, I'd leave it alone for right now. Wheels, tires, and less wheel gap will go a long way in making the car look great.

Nice car.

Yeah, I was 100% thinking the same thing...Looks, of course, not being the only thing factored in here. Cost is, of course, also an issue. I'm REALLY interested in purchasing coilovers, some better suited rims, and I am interested in I guess what you'd call some "sportier" tires.

But again, thanks for the compliment.

if you are in a tight budget search on the forums for lincoln towncar wheels
or used wheels on the classifieds

Dude, the FC is a gorgeous car all by itself. Granted, adding wheels/tires, lowering it a bit, and some little nic-nacs usually do the trick when it comes to making your car drop-dead sexy.

Arctic Silver really is the best color. Through four RX-7s, two of them were Arctic Silver with gray interiors...one was red (now blue) with a gray interior and you have absolutely no idea how happy I am to have another Arctic Silver car again! And...as a bonus...it's got my favorite interior color. Blue. Couple that with only 76,000 miles, professionally tinted windows and a working power antenna and I'm a very happy man.

...too bad the roof has little clearcoat left, there are a few deep scratches and the transmission is a pitiful Automatic slushy. So, she sits, and I continue to drive my blue car until I complete the manual swap for the silver one.

I'm a clam, and I'm happy.

Wait, why do you recommend the stock intake? It's rather...boorish in design. Any particular reason involving longevity? Or what?

The stock intake other than the small square AFM hole is designed pretty well actually.

That AFM hole ruins its merits IMO...hence why I like the one I have now.
