|

Don't mean to steal your thread, but here are some pics of mine. It had 20,200 miles on it when I bought it in December 2003. It was completely stock with a new smelling interior. Now it has 23,500 miles.

Nice car, just needs to be lowered a bit..
|
a3dcadman & roadsterdoc: Only 20,000 and 23,500 original miles?

|
turbotimer and dclin.....where in texas do you guys live?
|
Houston. Rather be in Austin though. ;)
|
Wait a sec - where the heck were all these cherries when I was buying mine - 4 years ago!!??
|
sorry to jack the thread a bit, but what are the rims on the white fd turbotuner, they look good, a bit like the gram lights, if thats what they are
|
hey, can anyone let me in on the secret to posting pics. ive tried 102kb and smaller jpg, bmp, and gif files. ive tried to attach a zip file. ive created html's for each and still no luck. ive written to the forum gods to ask why im erroring out - with no reply after 4 or 5 errors and followups. and when i found out the pics were not posting i couldnt even delete this thread 5 minutes later before it evern started.
one guy said to send the pics to him and he would post them. i sent all the pics as well as a zipfile. never heard back and obviously , my pics are still not on this thread. to all of you posting your pics and comments - thanks for the help. lets see some more pics. i do like those wheels on the silver. what size, offset, and brand? is there anyone that would be kind enough to post my pics. i named the file types i have ready, so let me know which one you pick. and ill get right on the stick and make it quick to send you my pics. silliness in the wee hours of the nite. there was a 95 fd in a texas dealership that was sold recently with 5000 miles - sweet. if i ever get my frigin pics posted, ill elaborate on all the particulars. my fd was driven about 1500 - 1800 a year tops. all paperwork, all services, all necessary repairs and callbacks, never driven in the rain. more later - when i present some visual data. thanks chuck |
I've been meaning to give this a shot (don't mean to jack the thread, but it's kind of on topic now) anyway, so...do you see my 7?
Note: Attaching didn't seem to work like I expected (inlining the pic...at least I don't see it in the preview). I had already posted my pics at cardomain. So I'm posting the cardomain links using the IMG button for this post (vB Code section). This site has a photo gallery...I haven't tried posting there, though. You could possibly post and link from there. There's got to be an easier way, no? http://images.cardomain.com/member_i...051_6_full.jpg http://images.cardomain.com/member_i...51_19_full.jpg http://images.cardomain.com/member_i...51_18_full.jpg |

Mitch |

What the hell? Do you guys just park your cars and look at them or what?
|
2 months ago i found a red 94 PEP with 11,192 miles on it. talk about heaven. that thing liiked and smelled like new. it's by far the nicest interrior I have seen. Black and tan. All the bolts under the hood and all over were still at the factory torque setting. pretty cool!
|
i do like looking at my 7, but its more fun to drive .....fast. the people that sold it to me were a retired couple and didnt drive it over 1500 - 1800 miles a year. they were saving it for me 11 years later.
pics coming soon now that ive given them to someone who will definitely post them. |
got mine and it had just turned 19,000. it still smells new. drove it home to seattle from reno. yahhh.
our bonding session. |
Congrats.
|
mahjik you are a gentleman and a scholar. thanks for finally getting my pics online.

Great cars guys.
a3dcadman, very nice and clean FD. turbotuner.com-your silver FD is looking very good and your black one too. Have you decided on a rear for the silver? What exhaust is that? |
Very nice and clean car Chuck!
I have not decided on a rear yet. Do you guys think it looks better without a spoiler? I'm starting to like that clean look more. The exhaust is the JIC Magic 505S. |
wow those are some really nice low mile cars, ya I wish I could find someone that did not know what they had. That would be great, I am going to start looking right now................it is 4am.
|
Ya I dont like spoilers, and how often are you really getting up to the speed where you need it. On that note yes you really do need a spoiler at high spead, and you can beleive me or not when I tell you this. I was coming down the Tollway here in Dallas, and was trying to max out my car. It was 2-3am in the morning and at the speed of 170 give or take a few my front wheels where off the ground totally, I know this becuase I was turning the wheel back and fourth and the car it's self was not moving. I knew that is I lost control at that point I would be dead, becuase they have those nice concrete walls along that strech from 635 to beltline and that is where it happened to be. Try it if you want, I would not suggest if you dont have a spoiler, my car was not lowered at the time.

Move that front back to where it is supposed to go. It'll cost you at least 15-20hp blocking the air inlet. No kidding!
The car looks amazing! Nice find! |
turbojeff not sure i follow you re: move the front back to where it belongs. are you talking about the license plate being in front of the opening. i have considered making a license plate bracket that pivots back with either air flow, a cable setup or perhaps an electrical solenoid device. anyway, please elaborate, ill certainly take any hp i can get.
thanks |
First off great looking cars and totally impressive mileage. But my question is...WHY? I have never understood the purpose of buying a car to only drive it 1500-3000 miles a year. A car is a means of transportation not an investment. I know I will get flamed for this and probably rightly so but I just dont understand. I know most of you might have 2 or 3 or maybe 4 cars and thats awesome. But dont you just want to get out a drive the fd around sometimes.
My car has 127k on it and I get to enjoy the rotary every day. I drive it wherever I go. Sure there are times that I dont want to drive in it meaning the bumps and noises that they all have. But I have friends to cart me around then. I know you can get top dollar for those cars but you still would never get back what you spent on it. So I guess thats my point why not drive it more than 100 miles a month. If thats all you drive then its basically a grocery getter and thats not what these cars were built for. Sorry to put this up. I truly love all of those cars I just dont get the 1500 miles a year for a car. Sorry again. |
Oh and I am insanely jealous of the black one above wish my black paint looked that good.

The stock design actually allows hot engine compartment air to be sucked backwards through the duct at very low speed and at WOT, as speed increases this isn't a problem. With your plate covering the hole your losing the ram air effect for the IC and the intake. I had a black 93 touring that came with the plate covering the opening and with a blown coolant seal motor. When I got the new motor in the car I just didn't think it was as fast as it should be. Both turbos were working fine, boost was there, it just didn't rip as good as I though it should. After a couple weeks I removed the plate, and instant HP was found. I was amazed at the difference. Run the car through the gears a few times to get a feeling for what it is like, bring a screwdriver, take off the plate and run it through the gears again. I'll bet you notice a significant difference. Jeff Long winded tonight! |

long live the FD

The FD is truly an awesome car, it is my high school dream car. The reason I don't want to drive it much is because I don't want to mess it up. Rock chips, parking lots accidents (dings and dents), paranoia that somebody will key my car, even worst steal it, engine blowing up, etc. I'm at ease just staring at it! The sumptous curves, the ergonomic jet fighter cockpit, the bubble roof, etc. LOL
I truly believe that a mint condition or pristine condition RX7 will be worth a lot several years from now, when all is left or high mileage cars. Look back at the muscle cars and check out Barret Jackson auctions. Nobody thought a $3-$4k GTO would be worth in the $100ks for the right model. The GTO convertibles go for $50k and up. Even crazier are Shelby GT500s! Though by the time the RX7 is worth that much I'll be old and retired! Maybe selling the RX7 in the future will be my retirement money. LOL |
re: license plate
im going to pull my plate off and give it a try. washington state requires a front plate though and im not sure what kind of ticket one would get not running one. re: driving the car or just looking at it. presently i drive mine every day . when the weather gets really bad next fall or winter, i will be driving my nissan pathfinder. i am very careful about where i park and dont do stupid things that could put my vehicle in jeopard. although i have spun out hitting a few corners to hard, but i did recover because of the cars amazing handling capabilities. |
