CO I got an FD!

So finally achieved my dream of owning an FD.
Got RHD import that had everything i was looking for.
No sunroof, single turbo conversion, and RHD for coolness and fit.
ive owned a few FC and SA rx7s before this but this is my first FD.
And living in Colorado not sure there are a lot of us around or even any shops to take it to but im a mechanic so i should be alright.

Future plans for it are better wheels.
some carbon fiber accessories.
possibly a different tune, idk if altitude changes things with a car tuned in japan.
and most importantly actually learning how to drive it.

Nice car man. I know of two FD's in Colorado and I don't know of any Rotary shops in Colorado. If you're on Facebook you should join Mile High Rotary Club, They do all sorts of cruises and are planing a trip to Seven Stock later this year. Congratulations on your FD!

You're welcome. I am working on getting an FD so I can go to Seven Stock with them, they're a good group of guys. If you're ever in the Longmont area you should look me up.

Nice FD! Cool to see another rotary owner in Denver. I live in Thornton, might see you around some time, but my poor FB isn't running atm; so if you see some weirdo in a red 86 Si oogling your car, it's likely me.

Congrats on the purchase! No rotary shops here in Colorado, if you need anything let me know. I'm in Boulder; you will most likely see my FD running around town or at Cars and Coffee.

Congrats on the purchase. I am also a new member in Colorado, the north Denver area more specifically. I hope to see you at one of the various meets one day soon.

i keep telling myself i'll make it to one of these but since i work a night shift waking up before 10am is so difficult. some day -_-

and thanks everyone, i kinda forgot to check this :P
are any of you on the Mile High Rotary group? seems to be the easiest way to get a cruise going.

the price difference wasn't that much but it seemed that all the rhd available at the time had lower mileage and were in nicer condition that what was available locally.
