I bought my 1st FD after looking at the 1993 brochure, in 1993. My 2nd FD is black and the black FD pictured in that brochure captures the beauty of FD design.

The stock wheels dull over time and I plan on having mine re-painted the original silver color or similar. Has anyone tried doing this?

The car left stock with a few reliability mods provides ample spirited weekend driving, especially when that 2nd turbo kicks in taking you from 45 MPH to 70 MPH in a blink.

The Mazda engineers got it right, with alot of help from circa 1992 super computers. Something you could do today with an Apple G5.

 

I feel like you must be doing some type of drug...I had mine painted the stock silver. They came out great.

 

Do you have pictures? Did you match the original paint?

 

This was a random post.

 

I've seen a set of stock wheels that were refinished by a wheel repair shop that looked better than stock. It is certainly possible.
