Thumbs up OMG! Just got a 3rd gen Sat......

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=509411

^^^^Thats pics and specs of whats done on it. And after spending all night cruising I am still soo amazed by the car. OMG..like..my cheeks hurt from smiling all damn day. This is just unbelievable. Orginally I was shooting for a 2nd gen cuz I figured I couldn't afford these 18k+ 3rd gen till I stumbled upon this.

I was thinking it was just too good to be true..a 3rd gen with a rebuilt motor/tranny and minimal mods (cooling system/reliability) for a decent price...hell its better then a decent price its awesome!

I've only gone wot in the first 3 gears cuz that was more then the posted speed limit on the highway..plus I still am learning the car and how to drive it. I dont wanna be the stupid young kid who totals his brand new 7 (no offense).

Man..today Im gonna run around and do the things I need to do..but more importantly...drive my lil beast..sexy lil beast I might add.

Congrats on the great deal.

Word of caution. Probably more high powered cars have been totalled in 1st and 2nd gear than in any other. Be carefull with the throttle in low gears, the tires can and will break loose easily.

People seem to be scared of driving their FD's. There's another related thread. I advise new owners to drive their FD's and see where the real passion/obsession is with them (tinkering is another...).
