pics of my fc

heres a couple pics of my fc. its a 90 gxl. it has 67k original miles on it and so far ive done just basic repairs (fluids, plugs, filters, oil) ill have more pics soon but i was just wondering if anybody knew what kind of rims these are? and im trying to sell them. also what other things should i do to make it better running? im thinking of aftermarket gauges because ive heard stock ones arent as good over time.

Thats a very nice and clean looking 7. I'm not a huge fan of those wheels though. Yes, a good set of gauges would do some good. Also, maybe replace your shifter bushings if you shifter feels sloppy.

yeah so the guy i bought it from didnt have to much knowledge of rotaries but he was good with cars overall and he kept basic care of it which is what it really needs. its completly factory stock. stock paint. yeah he was a fan of chrome so im trying to get rid of it. yeah i think he got some tips from autozone or somethin.

:edit: i got another thread about what exhaust im trying to get. goin for rb headers and presilencers. not sure what cat back though.

Actually I believe those are Walker replacement mufflers. Mine look just like that.
