Thanks, i've been debating on even changing anything on the car really. Other than the few reliability mods already done (AST, Radiator, Downpipe)

28K is the mileage on her. That is my problem with upgrades. I would love to throw different springs etc; on her... but... she's a beaut stock. Can't yet bring myself to do it.

I'd consider taking 45k for her... but 100k would prolly seal the deal.

Very funnny.... no not yet. I have been so busy with work. Need to get those. That's the reason I haven't been driving it around. I don't really trust the 12 year old tires. Still kills me to have the tires from the dealership on it still. I did get my other wheels so I'll probably just get the tires for the new wheels and keep the others for shock value. LOL

You are so very lucky to own such a clean low mileage black RHD R model.


Deffinately keep that thing until it sells at barrett jackson for over $100k. In thirty years, it just might if it still looks like that and has low miles.

EDIT: just park it in your living room haha

Nice car man! Keep it looking stock. I have a Black R1 myself and as you already know its a bitch to keep clean, but worth the time.

Blitzedrx7,

Could you give me the specs of the original tires on your car? Brand, model, and size?

BTW, I also have a low mileage FD3 (12,000 original miles). Mine's a '94 Silver Stone PEP w/ red leather. I believe the tires were replaced at one time. I'm just curious what the original tires were that came from the factory in '94.

Thanks in advance!

Yeah, the only thing That I am really considering changing is the suspension. I think the stock rides just a lil too high for my taste. But, then that's not really keeping it stock.... anyone have thoughts on the whole leaving it alone.?? I mean suspension I could always throw the stock back on there at anytime.
