thought I'd share my new babe..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...162476084&rd=1

Bought this baby a few months ago, got it shipped to my buddies garage where she's been sleeping since. I've been collecting my parts over the winter ready for spring time. I was only able to drive her up the driveway, I'm dying!

Just thought I'd share her beauty with all.. not the price I paid by the way. Enjoy!

Here ya go:

cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=STRK%3AMERFB%3AI ID&viewitem=&item=300162476084&rd=1[/URL]

Posting ebay links to sell items is against forum rules, but in this context I think it's fine

Btw, nice frickin' car. Clean and low mileage, those are very rare nowadays......

Very nice!

If those are the original or relatively old tires, replace them before you do any spirited driving. They will be rock hard by now and dangerous to drive on given the nature of the FD. It would be a right shame to crash that car into something right after you bought it.

nice car. But what parts are you collecting?

Just a tip: enjoy the car in stock form at least for a little while...

ya, as it is my first FD I'm definitely going to enjoy her for a while, but I do plan on upgrading the suspension come spring.. as for other parts, I've been keeping my eyes open for good deals on the bolt ons..

koni yellow sports, and tien s.techs, what do you think?

Suspension is cool. If you plan on lowering tha car take a look into ground control coil overs...

For bolt ons i'm from the school of thought that if it aint broken don't upgrade. Given that a boost gauge should be the first mod, then a DP. The AST is nice and black so I'd leave it alone for now.

I bought a 95 2 years ago with 6.5K miles and yours looks just as good. The last owner must have done a fantastic job keeping it clean! Hope you keep it stock! I have to fight the urge all of the time. I did do the AST and a coolcoat downpipe, replaced the speakers and installed a JL 1200 amp. Every week I go to RX7 webs and plan my mods that I will never do. I plan on buying another one to do mods on when I get the money. Remember, there is no clear coat on the Vintage Red so take your time waxing. I first did the claybar, then 2 coats of Meguires NXT(takes a little paint with it), then a coat of Meguires #26. The NXT will brighten the paint on the hood. Have fun and DRIVE SAFELY!!!

I don't know, those stock wheels are in great shape and look very, very good. Beautiful stock FD. If it were me (and of course it isn't) I would only do a downpipe, temp gauge, and boost gauge, and AST. The rest I would leave absolutely stock.
