Smile New 1993 FD owner from the Bay Area

Hey Everyone,

My name is Riley. Im a 21 year old dude that lives in the Bay Area.

I just recent became an owner of a 93 FD Rx7 that was somewhat of a barn find if you will. Ill save you the story of how I got it but I am super inexperienced to cars in general and 100% inexperienced with rotaries haha. I am going to need a lot of help to get this thing running the way it should, especially since I have already noticed some things that most likely aren't working like they should. BUT all that aside I'm happy I found this place which seems to be a wealth on information! If anyone lives in or around the Bay Area and is willing to donate some time to help me learn more about this car please message me!

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk!

Brentwood ain't the Bay...where are you located? Near Santa Cruz perhaps? There's a few of us around here that can look it over for you if you want.

Congrats on the new (to you) car!

Congrats on the find. Though you do live a bit far, I will start hosting rotary meets pretty soon once again starting around the East Bay and move towards South Bay a bit. Hope to see your car sometime soon!

To everyone wondering what the car looks like. These are photos from the day I got it (not running at the time but now is after some light work) I got it for only $1000 so pretty good deal!
