NJ 1988 RX7 Convertible

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jim. I currently reside in South Jersey, but I'm from NC.

I picked up a 1988 Mazda Rx7 convertible a couple months ago. It was a deal I couldn't pass up, as the car has 36k original miles on it.

Everything is stock on the car except for an old school DC motorsports exhaust. She needs some odds and ends, but it's a great base to build off of.

I've already ordered a bunch of parts much to my wife's dismay.

I'll be updating pics and info as I go.

Good luck everyone!

36k miles + convertible = WIN

Great pickup man, I was in the market for an FC for a while but came across the FD that I couldn't pass on. Gotta love impulse buys

I wish that I could find an FD for a somewhat reasonable price. I always look at FC's just because of the affordability.
