Talking Another First time FD owner :D

Fell in love when i found my first FB tucked back in the weeds behind an old body shop. Now after working through the generations of Rx-7s I've come to my first FD, and i couldn't be happier!
3rd owner only 73k on it. All stock ex a DP. It was posted on the forum for a while and i knew the guy so i got a good deal on it

Yes at this point it has a downpipe, and the vacuum hoses has been replaced with silicone hoses. The older gentlemen that owned it before me took very good care of it, and I'm thankful that I found one is such a great condition. Shes going to be a garage queen and as far as mods will only be doing some reliability mods.

but black is so sexy!

I'm already wanting to spend money on noob stuff so far like a boost gauge, and a RB catback. As far as looks the inside and outside will stay stock.

Black isn't THAT tough to maintain. Wash and wax and you'll be fine.


Nice find & welcome to the FD section!

Welcome! and Congratulations!!

Glad to hear another FB owner made the ranks. It's a great feeling man. I have been buzzing since August.

And as others have said, welcome to being broke

Congrats on the car. I have the same color and model unfortunately for me yours is in much better condition as the previous owner of mine was not very responsible and didnt even know much about rotaries.
Have fun with the it. Ive had mine for 3 months and i still go to the garage everyday just to stare at it.

congrats on the find, BB is my second favorite color, very closely beaten by CW. Keep her clean.

And yes, this section will become a large part of your life.
