New RHD Rx-7 FD3s Type R Owner

Hi all,
From New York, United States and a proud new owner of a pink RHD 1992 Rx-7 FD3s Type R.
I used to own an rx-8 so I am somewhat familiar with working on rotary engined mazda cars.
Look forward to meeting folks here and hope the rx-7 forums aren't quite as hostile as the rx-8 forums.

Hey JuSanBee! Nice to meet you.

I absolutely love the pink as well.
I've never been a particularly die-hard fan of pink but this is by far the deepest most delicious colour I've ever seen on any car under $150,000.
I'm 100% keeping it pink.

For now, I want to keep it stock and unmolested until I have a garage where I can do proper work on it, which won't happen for a few more years.

Here you go! The plan for now is to keep the engine stock and keep the car in good shape for the foreseeable future since I don't have a proper garage where I can work on it yet.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

I can already tell from all the help I've received on here that most everyone is very welcoming and helpful.
Glad to be a part of the forums.

And when I decided to buy this car, I felt the exact same way. Pink has never been anywhere close to my favorite color, but I just couldn't resist this car...

lol....

That looks well done though. Did you get a good deal on it? I'd stick some anime girls on it and rock it with pink lights too. Imagine losing a drag race to a pink car.

I think RX-8 owners have horsepower envy. I had one and it's an amazing car for what it is, but if you got one hoping for tuned 13B power you'd be disappointed and frustrated.
