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)

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

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).

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.
