Got my dream car! But I'm not the most mechanically smart person ever xD

Hey everybody! My name is Deryk, and I'm from Alberta, Canada. Last Fall, I purchased a 1993 right hand drive FD. It's black, and pretty much bone stock.
The RX-7 has been my favorite car ever since I decided I like cars, so I'm stoked I got the opportunity to have one.
Of course, it's aging, and so it's gonna have problems, but that's why I joined this forum. I'm looking forward to discussions, and help I'll recieve from other members!

You'll get it sorted! The only issue I had out of my 88 was the differential and it was an awesome daily.

I'm not sure I could ever drive a RHD car is it hard to get used to or pretty quick to pick up? I found a perfect FD with all my wants on it except it was RHD and I didn't have the guts to ask the owner to let me drive it thinking I would wreck it!

Plus you are Out West(Alberta)..so even if you are not used to a RHD,you could always "even it out" and drive on the other side of the Highway..for like THREE days without hitting anything!
..or is that Saskatchewan?..lol!

Hey I'm from Alberta too ( Edmonton) and I just bought my first RX7....a '92 FD RHD in montego blue! Actually I'm not sure it is a 92...the guy who sold it to me said it was a 93, but at the registries it came up as 92....still love it though! Maybe we can share resources or just tag up and go for a rip sometime.

yeah that happened to mine too, and my insurance says its a '94 or something lol
when i do order parts, i usually go through rhdjapan.com or something, parts right outta Japan lol i havent found too many other local places that deal with import parts, cuz im in a small city of 30,000 people and almost everyone here drives a lifted truck or a mustang -__-
