Welcome! Post some pics let’s see this bad boy

Haha same thing happened to mine, broke my heart to see the salt all over it. Looks like an awesome base tho! Can’t wait to see what you do with it

Thanks! I lucked out on on the car having oem 99 spec, that’s for sure.

[QUOTE=FEED AFFLUX v5;12326802]Thank you! I wasn’t too concerned with salt as one of the first thing I am going to do is a full respray.

I purchased some reinhardte coilovers and have some Te37’s to throw on, so we will start there and see how much more money it takes away from me 😂

Nice car! Welcome.

Nice car. Are you planning on changing the color?

Mine came salted up like that as well, broke my heart, but within an hr of it arriving I threw on my corolla plates and drove it 30secs up the street to a self service car wash and sprayed it the best I could lol

Overall yea I love it! Learning curve for me, my first FD but I enjoy that part. I’ve just focused on sourcing parts here and there, cleaning things up and doing some wire management. But I would def do it over again if I had to

Same here with it being my first FD. Where are you sourcing parts? New or used stuff? For my 240sx and other cars I’ve owned, I’ve always kind of went with period correct styling and interior mods from yaj auctions, up garage and other places. I see a ton of FD parts on there and was going to start there.

Good looking car!

mine is a RHD, but this website is great for sourcing parts at fair prices, new/oem I’ll snag from Ray crowe at Malloy Mazda, and the only thing I was unable to source from either of the two was a wiper arm because they are different from LHD and RHD, so I found that on a japanRHD site I think? But this website and ray are gonna be your two most valuable sources. Don’t bother with dealers or autozones for anything aside from common maintanence things

yes.... type R

yeah. Came across a deal I could say to no. So here we are lol
