All images taken within the past 6 months. All stock except limo tint rear, 30% side tint, and a steel braided clutch line because the original was a p.o.s. All original interior (yes, including Bose foggy-lens CD player. It's ok, I have a tape-adapted Sony portable for those early morning and cold start listens.
These guys can fix your Bose system by the way:

Ship them your cd player and they'll have it fixed in a week. My bose system sounds like new again thanks to them.

Thanks for the compliments. 7apex7, the main reason I shared is because just about every pic post I see is modified to the nth degree, and knew some would appreciate a mint condition original. Anyone know anything about leather conditioning/treating? It's still in great condition and I want to keep it that way, without paying someone else to do it.

mine only had one previous owner -- and him for 12 years, only driving it on the weekends (was a car collector). I got lucky, I feel as though he was keeping it for me since I first saw and wanted one back in '92...keeping it for me til the price dropped down to 14k
Actually it's refreshing to see another 3rd gen without a widebody kit, 19" bling blings, a huge wing, and a dozen subwoofers under the hatch.

2) One who desecrates their Japanese automobile by bolting on a widebody
kit, 19" bling-blings, and 3 subfwoofers.

19's Slows the car down.
3 Subs does nothing except make you deaf earlier in life. Money could be spent on maintenance or more go-fast-goodies.
Widebody kit is a cosmetic nightmare, not only do you have to find decent, more-than-likely heavy wheels with the right offset, you also bastardise the beauty that is: The original Rx7 (As such, thanks for posting your pics! Get a front lip on that beauty!)
Save 19's and your CRAP for some honda that can't move in the first place.
