2nd gen from Oregon.
Hey guys,My name is Mike.
I just picked up a 1986 FC with sport package & original Enkei 92's. I figured I need a new forum to call home!
This is my second car, my first car was a Chevy Cobalt but that was totaled this past October when I was t-boned by a jeep that ran a stop sign. I put a lot of effort into that car to make it look clean and not be a total bore to drive. As much as I loved that car (yes, go ahead and laugh) I was ready to move on. So, here I am. The car that I picked up does have some miles on it (112k), and it is an early model, but the guy I bought it from (original owner) took immaculate care of the car, all scheduled maintenance plus records, etc. The body and interior are in amazing shape for its age, without looking at the odometer I would have guessed it had 30-40k miles on it. With all this considered, I figure it will be a while before I have to look at replacing apex seals or some thing else major. However rotaries are a whole new ballgame to me, so whether or not the car will be reliable still remains to be seen.
I am a native of Portland, Oregon, and I would be happy to hear from any members from the greater Willamette Valley. Without further ado, here is some eye-candy for you. They aren't fantastic pictures, but I'll eventually get around to having a real photo shoot done.

Ah yes, they are. The forum I previously frequented automatically scaled images to
a maximum dimension. I'll have to get used to using a vBulletin style forum again
That being said, I'm glad to be here amongst fellow owners. I really enjoy my FC,
despite being a bit old and lacking the creature comforts of my previous car,
it has a level of style my old car will never have. In fact, a local Nissan
enthusiast even took the time to stop and compliment it's condition...
