Welcome to the board.

Beautiful car. I'm not a huge fan of body kits, but as far as they go, I find this one pleasing to the eye. LOVE THE WHEELS! Congratulations and I look forward to seeing more of you both.

Nice photos.

This is me showing my age, but there's just something sort of hilarious about a Gen 3 in a parking garage, next to a fire extinguisher.

After one week of ownership had my first RX-7 FD break down. Was cruising along the coast and car lost all power, smoke coming from the front left. Once lifted up there was visible damage to the main wiring harness due to the car being too low and the wheels rubbing the shielding and exposing copper wires. Few of the wires were shorted and burned all the way to the breaker box. Pretty much had to redo the whole wiring harness
