Well, Natalie, thanks for taking the time to register and welcome to RX-7 Club!

Females joining the rotary community are always welcome and a rarity. The FD is the uber RX-7 coming stock from the factory, so congratulations on the buy but make sure you don't ball up that sweetie. That is a WHOLE lot of car that commands some respect. Get some track time with it and everything should work out. Please don't try to learn on the street, it'll bite you hard.

Now, how about some pics of when it arrives?

Most excellent, Natalie. When did you begin competing? Did you do karts? When was the first time you ran by yourself in a good one? I'm asking because my daughter, now only 6 1/2, will be heading down that path, if she's interested.

I got spotted by someone from girlracer when i was 17 going for my competion licence! When you finally complete your licence you have a race with the rest of your students at the end, but when you have lapped all the other students you stand out from the crowd abit! ha

heres my RX-7. Shes called Rexy.

Wow! Looks like all the rough stuff has already been done! Once you have it prepped for the track and all stickered up, post some more pics! Congrats on the find!

Welcome to the addiction.

Lol, the FD looks like it just put the R34 in its place.

Beautiful setup, the wheels work very well on it.
