Alright a little update for those who care.. I just placed a deposit on an even more perfect FD!
The car was built in Japan by Re-Amemiya themselves undergoing a fresh motor rebuild and sporting a full Re-Amemiya body kit, new coilovers, and a Power FC ECU. The car was tuned in Texas by renowned RX-7 tuner Nelson Siberio and is making a conservative 260hp on 93 octane. Once the motor is properly broken in, I plan to make slightly more power to the wheels (300-350hp is my goal).
This car is pretty low mileage with the chassis having roughly 58,000 miles on it and the rebuilt motor having just over 250 miles. I love many things about this car, but I am particularly stoked about the color combo being yellow with a black/carbon fiber accent (Original color of the car was CYM but was repainted to Sunburst Yellow - optional color only for the late production FDs). I am currently rebranding my website (importr.com) to a white, yellow, and black color scheme so this example will end up making a wonderful promo car in addition to being my weekend warrior.
I will leave the link to the sales listing below for any of you who want to check it out and will also be creating another New Member Introduction in addition to a build thread (although it will be more of an ownership thread since I won't be modifying the car much more). Thanks for reading and I hope you love my new FD as much as I already do!
