Hello, I am a new member, but I have been visiting the forum as a visitor for many years. I bought a 1994 Fd about 4 yrs ago from the original owner
who bought it at a dealership in PA and brought it home to MS. He had been paralyzed in a on job accident and the car had been rarely driven except
for errands by his house keeper for approx. 15 yrs. I honestly didn't want the car when my son in law approached me to buy it. I'm actually a former owner of several American muscle cars and knew very little about rotaries. My son in law is a big fan of Japanese muscle and owns a 1994 TT 2JZ Supra. He prevailed
with me to buy the car as it was very low mileage with original window sticker and all records. The former owner was a sports car enthusiast and also had a
beautiful 1974 V12 jag convertible he bought new. When I got the car, it needed a lot of TLC that the former owner wasn't physically able to give, so I had many details to tend to. I am very particular and took the last 3 yrs to fully restore the car with all Mazda original parts with the help of a great parts guy at Mazda in Atlanta. Thankfully I am at a place in my life that I didn't have budgetary constraints because it was very expensive to do. I finished up with a paint job because the car had some base coat/ clear coat separation. After driving it for a few months I have decided to convert it to a single turbo car but I have meticulously labeled and took pics is all original engine parts to store for perhaps a future restoration back to twins all factory. The car fits me like a glove as I'm only 5'7". And like all red blooded, meat eating, American boys, who like fast motor vehicles and going to races ,240-260hp just isn't enough. So I am currently in this process which I intend to complete before next summer. I am more of a reader than a writer so I probably won't comment much on the forum. I have spent the last 4 years consuming as much info on the FD as I could so I could properly restore and modify this car. If you have read this far, thanks.... I didn't mean to
ramble on or bore you. This was just to properly introduce myself, my car and relate how this adventure started. I am looking forward to meeting many of the members whose threads, comments and advice have been very beneficial for me. Thanks.

Thank you sir! I have spent the last 2 hrs trying to figure how to post pics of my car to no avail. Hopefully they are coming soon.

Maybe you have to have more posts, before the AI allows larger files/attachments to be posted.

no count limit on the ability to upload images. if the file is too large, u will need to use some sort of editing program to resize it, or change camera settings and retake. can't remember off hand what the limit is but i think it does give the size limit on the upload page.

I have been uploading high def iphone pics all day long. I think the uploader may have some automatic bit reduction technology now.
