Bought an FC RX7 as my first manual car 😅

So, I recently came across a deal that sounded too good to be true. My brother is a Samsung tech and was helping a customer that "casually" mentioned that she is contemplating selling her old sports car. His interest was piqued and decided to take a look. To his (and my) surprise, it was a red FC. The lady was pretty much the first owner and it only had 78k miles on the dash! He told me about it and after a week of contemplating, I had to get it. Ended up agreeing on $4k for the car and we drove it home 👍🏾

This was over a month ago and now I'm decent with driving it. It has been a fun ride so far and I can't wait for what I have planned for it in the future. The car has had a few "hiccups" though. From random electrical stuff not working to having coolant explode out of the reservoir on to myself. I'm glad to be apart of this new community and hope to gain alot of knowledge about one of my favorite cars from the 80s-90s.

Here are some pics:


First look 👀


First wash. Also removed the old, cheap LED lights that were on the bumper.


First car meet. Caffeine and Octane July 2023.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new RX-7!! Looks to be a base model with nice looking aftermarket wheels. Definitely a great looking car!

Thanks! However, the front driver wheel is cracked and its been pretty hard finding 4x114.3 wheels. They are original Enkei 92s in 14x7. The newer one Enkei makes only start with 15 in diameter. I do eventually want to do a 5 lug conversion. Although it may be considered "sacrilege", I have been looking at putting some celica supra stocks on it if I can find it for a good price 😅 I have not been able to find the enkei92 in 14x7.
