You're missing the point. I said, 'Punctuation will HELP us understand your ramblings'. If I wanted to spend the time to decode his nearly unintelligible response, I could easily do so.

It is morally wrong for someone to own a FD first! There is more respect for the car when you have owned a FC or anything rotary first.

I went to school for Automotive Design, but decided to pursue the entertainment rather than production avenue instead. I have friends that work at Ford, BMW, Honda, Toyota, Opel and BMW Motorcycles. I envy all of them, and some of them envy me back

I bought my 94 FD 77k mi last year around this time for 15k from a guy whom posts on this board.

Newbie to the group

Since I moved to a right-hand-drive country (Mauritius), I had to sell my beloved 93 'Stang. I'm 29 and just bought a 92 RX7 from Japan (so yes, its a 3rd gen) for $4000. It has 42,000 miles on it. Personally, I'd rather still have the 'Stang, but they don't come in RHD. Also the import duty here is based on engine displacement so bringing in a 5.0l vs a 1.3l would have sucked! I wanna know all the tweaks for tuning this little gem are though! Anyone point me in the right direction?

21, mechanical engineering student @ CU Boulder..currently automotive engineering intern in SoCal working on a sweet *** super car project. Bought mine 6 months ago from lance at LA motorcars for 17.6K with 60K original miles. A bit high compared to most but the car is immaculate, has all records, and came with a 3yr/36K warranty. Those with that warranty know it is good for aleast one motor and one tranny

Came across this interesting thread somehow and thought I'd bring it back to life...

I'm 24, used to sell stocks for 3 years, but now I'm a loan officer full time. As a part time job, I also trade stocks and surf this ADDICTING site. For the love of FD...

Well, Monster-RX7 brought this thing back from the dead.... jramos sold his car and bought a Porsche, so he's not the old man in the group anymore - but he's a nice guy!

37, Manager of Compliance Operations - IT for for a health insurance company that services contracts with the Department of Defense. 3rd owner of 93 R1, bought ~ 7 years ago for ~ 15K. Went single turbo and have gone through 3 motors, so you know there's some money dumped in the car.
