Hey guys, I've been on the forums for about a year and have been researching for 1 and a half to 2 years. It's taken me months to find the perfect car, but I've finally found it : A montego blue 1993 Touring RX-7. Yes, I'm currently in high school and my parents have paid for the car, but I'm not retard. I am mature enough to understand the limits of my driving capability. In fact, I'm afraid of driving the car especially under boost. Hopefully, you guys won't flame me too much =p. Anyways, the mods will all be coming out of my pocket, and I will be doing most of the work (hopefully, I won't mess up. My dad was a mechanic so he can help me too). I've had experience training as an Auto Mechanic and am super stoked to own this car. You can trust me guys, I won't wrap this baby around a telephone pole. Anyways, for my first few mods, I'm going to be adding a boost gauge, doing the fan mod, and doing a silicone hose job. Anyways, thanks for listening to me ramble on and don't hate me too much. BTW: I also have my parent's Camry that I will usually be driving around. Pictures here:

 

Congrats on the FD!

Enjoy

 

That car looks familiar. Did you find it in the auto classifieds on craigslist.org? Anyway, congrats on the buy. And where in the Bay Area are you?

 

Yes, It was on craigslist. The seller was very helpful and polite. I live in Fremont.

 

Nice looking car, I actually got my FD when I was in high school as well, your car looks to be in exceptional condition, enjoy it!

 

congrats on the buy, like speedking said where in the bay are you..did that car have jersey plates on it.?

 

Nope, original buyer was a pilot who lived in Cupertino. 2nd owner lived there too, and now it's with me in Fremont.

 

Engine bay looks nice and clean, stock as a **** too. Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders, unlike most of the young kids looking to buy FDs. Make sure you drive that camry in the rain

 

Looks good man!! You have entered an exciting investment!!

 

congrats on the fd, looks very clean

 

I too got my fd my junior year in high school, and am paying for mods this year(senior year). Congrads bro that care is awsome, wait untill you line up to a supra and smoke it. Plus it will get you laid more than your schools top quarterback. Have fun and dont let your friends pressure you into anything(and they will try). One more thing one of your very FIRST mods you do is get a Valention One radar detector, its saved my *** many times.

 

Looks good. Take care of it.

 

A mature post from a high schooler. Thats refreshing. Congrats on your car. Be carefull with it, it will do a lot of things that you can't handle.

 

I hope you weren't talking about "dices7". That kid is a LOSER.

 

Yeah, I agree. Nice find on that car -- take good care of it.

 

congrats

 

I remember when mine was stock.

Now hurry up and get rid of that Air seperation tank.

 

A nice virgin FD, just waiting to be be touched. Finding a stock FD is rare. How many miles and how much did your "parents" pay for it. Some kids get all the luck.

 

Haha, thanks guys. I got it for 64643 miles stock.

 

congradulations, and welcome to the money pit

 

Definantly, although California seems a lot more laid back cops-wise than Ohio.

Ohio is full of dick cops who will get you for 40 in a 35

 

Aw man, you just jinxed it. J/K lol. Anyway, congrats on the car and good luck.

 

Congrats!
I'm also in high school, and I've always loved FD's since I started lurking here 3 years ago. I recently bought the first car that I could call my own, and I was extremely ecstatic. But I can't possibly comprehend how you must feel in comparsion, because YOUR CAR IS AN FD!!

I sure hope I meet more people like you. I'm usually surrounded by the usual high school mentality, which includes feeling invincible and the favoring of the image of driving a performance car rather than good driving, effective maintenance, and understanding the capabilites of a car and the limitations of its driver.

Since we're both in the bay area, maybe I'll see your beautiful rx7 on the road someday.

 

Whoa, a mature high-school poster who doesnt have High School Driver Synndrome !

 

yeah, HSDS is a major epidemic.
