Back from the dead...

It has been a long time since I left the RX-7 community however I am back from the dead and very excited to be posting here again. I sold my last FD almost two years ago and regretted the decision ever since but I was not willing to deal with another one until I found this...





It’s a near mint condition 93 Montego Blue with just over 38K miles... It has never been driven in the rain, it has never been modified, and it’s all original. My wife was so impressed she actually encouraged me to buy it!


For the last two years I have been driving/racing this car around and it has been very good to me but I just couldn’t stay away from the FD.




For those who haven’t seen or remember it, this was my last RX-7.




Anyways, it’s great to be back and I hope you guys can forgive me for leaving.

Too cool, man. Good to see you back. And that is one nice FD, too. I am digging the MBM with tan leather.

GOod to see you back!!!

No offense but i didnt recognized you were gone. I do remember you but like the days go by so quick and you lose track of whos still around and whos not.

Btw, good choice in the other car.

Lots of FD owners who have s2k's or went to s2k from the FD.

Do you still have the S or did that replace the FD?

Tell us about the new car....all the usual stats and stuff.

One question I have is are those rims chromed? They look shinier than stock, that's for sure, but they look more subtle than outright chroming. Maybe it's just the lighting. I like the look in that photo.

I will be asking for around $22,000 in stock form. It's an 07 w/ 26xxx miles on the clock.

The wheels are the only thing that have been touched on the whole car. The faces were polished smooth and the barrels were painted matt black. It cost the last owner $600 to do this back in 1994.

I was just really fed up with dumping money into my last RX-7 and then the apex seals took a crap... I just couldn't deal with it anymore.
