After almost a year of researching the forum and 2 months sorting out payment with a very good seller, i now own my own FD. It's in overall good shape for a 10 yr old car. The suspension rides a little bumpy because the bushings are bad but the owner included a new suspension off of a 20k rx7 uninstalled. The ast, dp, and vaccum hoses still have to be done and i can't wait to start on it. Thanks to everyone for the info and i'll post pics and questions later on.

Welcome, and sick pic on the signature.

ALI

 

apex_sideway What is the mileage on your new FD

 

130xxx With a reman engine and a newer tranny, 93 touring auto, montego blue.

 

damn your sig is big! maybe make it a little smaller?

take care of that fd

 

any pics???

dope **** man

welcome

 

Must..get..past..Sig........Oh hey. And congrats! How much did you pay? I just got mine too not too long ago!

 

$11,000 . . . . i'm getting a RB single tip exhaust, bomez dp, and pettit ast in a week or two from a cool guy off the forum; can't wait . . . i just need to save up for the vaccum hose job but that won't take more than a week or two.

 

Congatulations.
Just remember one thing. Reliability before power.

 

Yeah, i'm still kinda kicking myself for not having the money for the vaccum job but the dp,ast, rb exhaust deal was just too good to pass up. I'll get $150 in a week or so.

 

a LITTLE late but here's a picture of the car

 

Nice..........

 

Thanks!! I'm going to keep it like this for awhile until i get all the performance stuff done; i might go with a body kit but i think i'm growing out of them . . . .

 

yeah, mine needs a paint job. I always thought i would get a GTC or 99 spec, but now that i actually *have* the car, i dont really want to. i like it stock so much

 

I like the GTC as well but recently i've thought at just getting some nice rims and making it classy instead of going for a race car kind of look; who knows i might still go with a body kit but i'd have to be completely done with my suspension/engine/performance mods.

 

Just get some rims you'll be surprised on how much more the car is going to stand oout.

 

Nice car! Congrats!

 

It's a never ending situation. You really think you will ever be able to be actually finished with those three main areas?

 

good point . . . actually the car is a Automatic so i'm not too serious about making it fast. I'm going to do a spring/shock/roll bar combo, repaint it the same color or rx8 pearl white, and get some rims. Later on down the road after i get a 5 speed swap i'm going to go single with v-mount from Rotary Extreme (if they still produce the kit in 7-10yrs haha). I'm only 21 and i'm a student going into the military so money doesn't grow on trees.

 

thats a very clean car.... congrates and welcome to the real world~~~ hehehe.

 

Super sharp! Congrats, that car looks very clean.

 

nice car...........i have a pettit ast if your interested. about 6 mo. old. pm me!
congrats on the car......and welcome

 

Thanks guys I already have the reliability mods done . . . i just need to get a boost issue fixed and the car will run tip top!

 

Welcome
Get an R1 lip. Funny how much it makes a difference in the looks department.

 

Congrats on the new acquisition. Enjoy!
