I guess I'm new around here. I have a nissan 240 right now, i love its handling but its too slow, and its an automatic. I know i know, theres engine swaps and all that crap, but to get it to look good, and to make it go fast, it would cost about 15k... so in that price range Ive been looking at other cars (300zx TTs, porsche 944 s, stuff like that).. But the one thats really caught my eye is the RX-7 3rd generation. The handling of the 240 is legendary but from everything ive heard, the rx-7 beats it, and i dont really have to talk about it being faster because hell, thats a given.

anyhoo, just thought id introduce myself. i read that 'newbies start here' post down aways on this page and found it quite helpful, anything else would be awesome... by this time next year im hoping to own an FD (did i get that right?).

also-- anyone here in austin, tx? if so is there a local mazda club or anything like that where i can ride along in an rx-7? i havent had a chance to test drive one yet (soon though!) and im itching to feel the power.

 

Welcome to the forums.

Check this out for any clubs around Austin

Good luck with your search for an FD, and don't forget to use the search function, it helps out a great deal.

hey someone on this forum that was actually nice to a new person?!!quite rare consider urself a lucky man

 

word...

well the "nice guy" only has 23 posts... maybe he just has not gotten bitter yet.

I did have quite a few post from my OLD username...

 

Actually I'm quite content with myself at the moment, just waiting for everything to get set up to go pick up an FD. So i'm pretty puuuuuuuuuuuuumped

(actually i'm just trying to be a post ***** like mightyslash)

 

Notice he said he looked at the newbie thread at the top and found the links helpful. How many newbies even bother to look at that thread? not many. So when one finally does you have to be nice to them.


Anyways, welcome man.

 

I read the newbie post Helped a great deal. I still have tons of questions though, just haven't had time to search for the answers...

 

LOL...you have to have 250+ posts before you are allowed to say "Use the ******* search function, Newbie!"

 

Well guys, over at the nissan board we have the same problem... I swear the search button must be invisible.
