just got my fd!
 

hi there! i just bought a 92 fd for my first car. i've been glancing on the forums and know i have alot to learn. i know this car is going to require special care and knowlege both of which im willing to do/learn. i do live in winnipeg and it is quite cold here, so i know i have to store it properly for the winter. i've searched the forums looking for a post on storing rx7's for the winter but have found nothing. i'm sure that theres one out there but i just cant find it. if anyone knows where it is, please post the link so i can properly store my new baby!!

THANKS

(p.s. - the previous owner had it out in the snow (shakes head) so thats why theres a bit on it the day i got it..... also some idiot put the directional tires on backwards (sigh) you can see if u look closely lol)

Looks like its in good condition, besides the snow... look out for rust...

cool!

it was never winter "driven" i was told... so i should be okay in the rust department because it hasnt seen any salt/sand if this is correct

Nice car. Type R right?
Hopefully you can afford the work that goes into these cars. I remember during the summer I was paying close to $70 per tank. Expensive car especially once you go past 3 mods. Your first car is going to keep you busy for sure :lol:

thanks for the thread deck!!

sonic, i honestly dont even know how to check if its a type r or not, where should i look??

Congrats, looks good!

Yeah congrats I hope the car treats you well.

Congrats, hoping to be joining the FD owners club soon too!

wow looks nice

Easiest way to tell from the pics is the seats (unless they've been swapped). Yours has the Suede Type R seats (I'm pretty sure).

yeah, i was reading up on it sonic.. i seem to have all of the characteristics of a type r except one thing... apparently i heard type r's didnt have rear wipers, but mine does. any thoughts? is that wrong?

I'm sure you can't wait for spring!

Congrats on the purchase. I got my Silverstone '94 only two months ago. Have loved every minute.

Nothing is wrong. Type R model came with a rear wiper.

clean car man

Nice pick up bro gl with her and welcom.

Nice looking FD. Hopefully she gives you lots of miles of fun.
