Thumbs up My New FD (Lots of Pics)

I got bored of my Z's level of power pretty quickly, and I've finally gotten the chance to move up. While I love my Z and the cars in general, the RX-7 was a car that I've always wanted since the beginning, but didn't have the chance of getting it until now.

It took over a month of searching all over the country to find one that suited me best. My Z had 120k, so this time around I wanted something as clean as possible and as low mileage as possible. I got lucky and found my RX-7 in Colorado. Car was delivered a week ago, on July 4th







The car had a full layer of dust and dirt on it by the time it got off the trailer.







With the Z





Spent the majority of last week taking care of registration, smog, and other things like chaning out an oil o-ring... that got nerving so I got something else to put me back into the spirit

On the stands









Once everything got settled, I had the chance today to detail the car as thoroughly as I can...

My crappy attempt at taking some quick night shots without a tripod









As for the Z... it's been great and taught me a lot. Unfortunately there's no more room for it and I have to move on. So it's for sale, but slowly because I'm not in a hurry to get rid of it either

That M2 intake looks like ***.....you should sell it to me.

Awesome man, congrats. Hopefully I can sort the last few things out tomorrow and start mine. I've been wanting to park on a specific freeway over pass here in town, set the camera on a tripod, and use my cool little wired button thingy that controls my shutter speed so i can open the shutter on my camera, leave it open as cars pass by (with my 7 in the center of the photo) to expose the film and get all the lights from moving vehicles to blur/streak the photo, but yet have a perfectly sharp rx7 in the center.

I love montego blue...If I had to choose again, i would seriously consider it.

That is one amazing mileage.

Why do you wax your windows though? I have never seen or heard of doing that. I just use an actual glass polish and then Rain X it.

Just picked up waxing the windows a while ago... you should try it, it's a nice subtle touch

Also, how do you guys go about playing burned CDs on the stock Bose CD player? I don't have plans on changing out anything in the sound department for a while. And Thanks for all the compliments!
