ON '93 FD3S from Dad (ON)

Hey Guys, Gals, Nuts, Bolts & Tuners!

Finally Posting Up after using the Forum for tips and ideas,

I've had an FD3S since I was 1... or... well it goes like this:
I was born in 1992.
My dad bought a brand new 1993 Twin Turbo and put it into storage till earlier this year.

He really did save it for me and over there accumulated some great parts and things I'd most likely need.

We have a small collection of cars, but to me, RX-7s are the pinnacle of import cars and put domestics to shame. Even beside some of our Euro cars, like the 993, it's still sexy, smooth and performs to suit. It's crazy what these cars can be...

My dad had many many cars, including 80's era 7's. We're a car family.

Nowadays, I'd a professional Driver, racing in Open wheel and Touring cars, looking to further my career in racing. The 7, is my usual car and you'll see more photos of it soon!

Thanks for Hearing me out and Thanks for being such a great community!
-Stefan

Welcome to the forums! Hopefully he oiled it well and the original rubber hasn't turned into dust yet ! If you don't mind me asking, whats the km and model? Still 100%, completely original?

Wow! I am also anxious to hear how many kilometers you have on it and to see some pictures. I am not entirely familiar with Canadian models and may be missing a few '93 options, but do you know if it's a base, touring, or R1? You may have some work cut out for you with how long it's been sitting, but everything should be in relatively prestine condition.

I honestly don't know if I'd have the patience to let something that much fun sit there for this long for my son or daughter. Did he drive it at all or just park it? Either way, you are very lucky! Good luck and enjoy it!

I was lucky enough to have an FC as my first car but damn, I still don't have an FD

Hope you realize just how fortunate you are! I'm jealous :P
