New Member - 92 Jdm FD R
Hello All,
Joined the site last week but just getting around to the introduction as I've been spending lots of time researching.
I'm Nick in MD. Purchased a black 92 JDM FD at the end of the year. My First Rotary, excited about the new adventures ahead.
No Pictures yet, weather here has been pretty bad and haven't been able to give a proper wash since bringing her home.
Currently reads 34k miles. Only mods are
-a DoEng cat back
-17x8 rims
-voltage stabilizer (are the 7s finicky about voltage? can't say i have seen one of these before)
Its a weekend cruiser and I plan to keep it relatively stock for the next few years. I would like to pick up an EUC for monitoring as well as a few gauges as necessary. I like the clean look of the factory interior and don't want too much going on in the cabin.
My searches have yielded quite a bit of suggested maintenance for these cars.
My Immediate Plans
-Replace/Repair stock airbox (nipple to exhaust from air pump has broken)
-Replace vacuum lines (likely silicone)
-Replace coolant hoses (havent found an entirely complete silicon kit, considering oem)
-Replace solenoids (searching suggested contacting Dave about this)
-Replace AST (can't seem to find any aluminum/metal, will defer to oem if additional searching yields poor results)
-Inspect/Replace FPD
-Engine, Trans, Diff oil change (10w30 conv, 75w90 gl4/5, 75w90 mobile one with lsd additive)
-Coolant Flush
-Start premixing (likely Royal Purple)
-Fresh tires (leaning towards Michelin sport 2 or super sport)
-Fresh shocks
--Down pipe, i was going to get one to reduce the engine bay heat, but jdm doesn't seem to have the pre-cat.
Look forward to being part of the RX7 club Community.
