New Member, New FD owner, 4th RX, Grand Slam Complete!

Hey guys,

I just joined recently, after purchasing a 93FD. I also own a 2009 RX8 R3, and I am a previous owner of an 82 GSL, and an 88 convertible. Does that qualify as a career grand slam?!

This FD is awesome. I found it on Craigslist in FL, and it turned out to be a one-owner car with 72k miles on it. Mostly stock, except for an aftermarket air intake. No rebuild yet, but compression is between 113-116. A special bonus was the original window sticker stuffed inside the owner manual jacket. It has its share of gremlins: airbag light, window regulator, inop fog lights, etc. But let the fun begin! I live in Northern Virginia, so let me know if there is an RX club around here.

Thanks - Doug

I live in Haymarket, VA. I met an FD owner from Manassas at cars & coffee Great Falls, but that was before I bought this one. He was from Manassas, I believe. White FD with a single big turbo.

Wow, great buy.

Even with the original window sticker. A lot of owners would just toss those out which is unfortunate.

It's like finding gold if the car came with one.
