Looks clean to me, If it were an S5 (89-91) I'd say it was a great buy, but its still pretty darn decent.

Any engine bay pics?

Looks pretty clean, I'd say it's a really good buy. Make sure you do a compression test when you get it. I'm basically in the same boat as you too, I'm 16 and have had my FC for 6 months now. It's alot of fun and you will learn alot from it.

BTW, A street port is when you grind open the intake ports a little larger to let in more air.

some pics (not to good)

Well i picked up the car and it drives amazing less than 15,000miles on complete rebuild and port. the current paint is a color of a 2007 model lexus it has a sparkle to it. the intake is old so im picking up a new one along with a full engine detail at a import autoshop not to far from were i live, so the engine will be looking its best.(ill put up some pics of that soon. OHH and the pics were takin at night in a garage so they dont look to good but they give you the general idea of the car, they'll look better from here on out.

I love this car but it has a long way to go. I'd geuss for any rx7 lover the cleaning and mods never stop?
