New guy JDM FC3S

I have been lurking for a few weeks and I decided to join. I recently bought a 1991 rx7. It is pretty close to stock save for a catback, rims, tein coilovers, strut tower braces, blitz blow off valve, turbo timer and boost gauge. I'm military stationed in Japan so of course I have a japanese model.

It's got 105k kilometers. The rims are not mazdaspeed 01's if that's what you are referring to. Pardon my ignorance, but I was a mustang guy before. I'll get some more pictures this week. The interior is in great shape. The a/c blows cold. It's only probs are the erratic idle...that likes to go below 500 and of course the wiper switch only works in the "I" position. Oh and all of the paint on plastic is faded.

I only paid 2400 for it.....So it was a killer deal.

I saw a used mild steel down pipe at a local store for like 55 bucks that I considered, Tein coilovers for it for bout 600 used.

Wow. $2400? I don't know about the market their in Japan, but for our prices over here, you got a hell of a deal. If the rims aren't MS-01's, are they work equips?

Very clean looking car none the less

Hyper Evolutions, seems to be them. I know they are Manaray Sports and those look exactly like them.

Thanks for the compliments. When I get home from work I'll get some interior pics and some underhood shots..

Of course I have plans, but seems lately more often than not my plans become nothing more than pipe dreams. I intend to do the bolt on thing for a while. Downpipe and resonator first, then see what happens after that. I would love to put a fairly large positive displacement blower on it, but I need to find out if I could import the car to the US later.
