New FC to the forums. (56k warning)

got the car about a couple of weeks ago for $3000. it's got 62500 original miles. i think it's a good find so far the only thing i've done is oil change, and changed out shifter bushings. need to get a full tuneup just to be sure.

pictures:






















i thought this came out cool looking:

Nice find. First things first, buy new rims and get rid of the stocks. Those stocks make rx7s look ugly!

Jus got to a pick-n-pull, and you'll find tons of cool wheels there for cheap! Your in norcal and pick-n-pulls are every where around there. Where in nor cal are you located? I used to live up there but am in LA for school. I know lots of folks if you ever need help putting things together or getting parts. Good luck and have fun with it.

well, i plan on just running this car the way it is. money is kind of a big issue at this point...so no rims, no coilovers....just keeping it stock, and enjoying it as mazda intended. lol

i do plan on buying another FC in the future sometime (w/ power windows and all that stuff that makes you wanna be lazy) after i get that, i might keep this for autox and dump money into it. =)
