I got my '93 Touring in Aug of '03, Red with Tan leather interior. My car came with alot of goodies such as a Down pipe, High flow cat, Cat back exaust, A Pulley set, M2 Med Intercooler, Aftermarket Radiator. Things im not sure on. Eng was rebuild might have porting done to it. Turbo's look fresh. Barely any play in them, so i think there new or rebuilt. Od reads 126k miles right now. Since ive had it ive gone Non seq and removed the air pump. Still has stock ECU. It runs with no problems.

About me. Im 21 years young. And am in the US Army. Sadly im currently away from my dream car fighting the good fight over in Iraq.

Once i get back from Iraq I will be paying off the car i had to finance it. I will also be fixing some of the issue's i dont like about the car.

I was 20 when I got a 8 year old 1980 RX7 and drove it until its engine blew about 5 years later. I actually completed a 600 mile trip from Calgary to Vancouver in Canada after the engine blew in the rockies somewhere at the 300mile mark. That was the smokiest 300 miles, used about 2 gallons of oil. There was no way to fix the care there and luckily only one rotor had lost compression so I managed to get it home on one rotor.
(NO PISTON ENGINE would have been able to do this)
As long as the revs were up the oil just burned up but when I let my foot off the gas, it was as if I was laying a smoke screen. Soon after I left to work in Europe.

As soon as the FD came out I wanted one and when I finally came back from Europe I got one which was also 8 years old at that time. When I was 33.

raskol, Thanks. And i better i got a wonderful girl waiting for me as well as my sweet car.

As far as insurance goes im dropping just about all of mine so its going to be down to like 600 or so maybe a little more for 6 month's. But when i get back and take more coverage it will be some where in the range of 1000-1500 for a 6 month span.
