TX New FD to Dallas Area

Hey everyone, my name is Chris and I got a FD a few months ago. I'm on a couple of other local forums under the names "jdmintegraowner" and "95 Poopra". I am 23 (24 in November) and have had quite the collection of cars in my 8 years of driving. In 03 started out with the normal hand-me-down. 95 accord lx 4 door auto. Then, in 04 I got a 00 Integra gsr bone stock. I turned it into this:



It got stolen in late 07, and I got 12k from insurance. In 08 I found an stock R33 Skyline gts-t for 14k and did a few mods to it.



Then the whole "Skylines getting picked up by the feds" thing happened and scared me so I got rid of it. In 09 I traded for a 96 240sx all jdm and some cash.



I did a few mods, but got bored with the car scene for a little bit and thought I should get a reliable daily so I put the 240 up for trade. In late 09 I ended up getting an 05 Jetta gli with 80k miles and really simple bolt-ons.



That didn't last long, and in early 10 I put it up for trade along with my 01 Honda CBR 600 f4i. I got an offer I couldn't refuse. A 95 Supra hardtop. It was auto and n/a, but I had plans to get rid of that nonsense.

How it looked when I got it

Then new exhaust

Wheels and my brother's car(it's for sale!)


Then I started running into small problems here and there with things like water pump, lights going out, random creaks, and other annoyances. I didn't have the money to do the 6k tt/6spd swap, so I did the only thing logical. Get an RX7 I traded my 95 auto, n/a, 180k miles supra for a 93 5spd, tt, 67k mile RX7.

I did a few mods to it with the money I had saved up towards the Supra swap.
Including paint

Riviera Blue off a Porsche gt3 (going for the RE Amemiya look)



It's got Greddy twin intakes, Greddy down pipe, Greddy Ti-c exhaust, Greddy type s bov, Apexi power fc, bbs replica wheels, "sleek" headlights with hid's, pioneer screen, polk audio 12" sub, crunch amp, and a jdm rear emblem lol

Welcome.

Nice collection of previous rides. Especially that kouki 240sx. I like what you did with the paint and ccw's on the fd.

Post up pics in the 3rd gen picture thread if you already havent.

I haven't been driving my car for years. Finally motivated to rebuild the engine. Thinking about going down to rotary performance next week and picking up a few parts if they are still located in Garland.
