IN First time Mazda Owner

Just picked up an 88 GTU earlier. Or at least that's what I was told and the Title says. More on that sometime in the future.

Just bought it today, no pictures as of yet, but I'm very happy with the car. Learning as much as I can, bookmarking all the sites I need to. I hope to have an enjoyable RX-7 experience, so here we go!

My boss got me into the Rotary engines. He has an RX-8 and RX-7 FD3S (He just bought that recently).

I've only put a few miles on her, but I can say that I'm having a blast, and I'm excited. I'm looking to restore the car close to stock (without making myself go broke).

Howdy Everyone!

Thanks. I just got done with a bit of a drive, about 50 miles or so, just to drive around. This car is just so much fun. I fell in love with it when I first drove it. I can't wait to make her pretty.

I also just purchased an FC a couple of weeks ago. I already enjoy it a lot.

Hey everyone I've owned three first gens now, however on this lucky number 3 I have decided to make it as custom as I can and as fast as I can ( top end and bottom speed ). I have never mechanically worked on one too, too much so gonna need some help. Oh yeah she is a 1982 RX- beauty.
