Hey all, my name's Travis, and I'm from Indianapolis, IN.

Tomorrow, I will be the new owner of a '93 FD3S ( 1993 Mazda Rx7 $9,500 Or best offer - 100526425 | Custom Import Classifieds | Import Sales )

I have never owned a rotary, but have always had my eye on the FD ever since I became a car enthusiast a long time ago. I realize it has a rebuilt title, and needs some work, but I am trading it for a car with a rebuilt titled car in need of more work than I can take on at this time

If anyone has any sound advice, or personally knows anything about this car, I would love to hear it.

Thanks!

love the no rear wing. accentuates the curvage.

what sort of work do you need to do to it?

Thanks! So hard to believe this car is 20 years old


The driver side door handle was broken, typical. So I already ordered metal door handles.

Also, the radiator has a slow leak and needs to be replaced as well as the fan.

Other than that, it seems like a damn solid car

man you stole that.... did it have a IN title? and was it had to get insurance on a rebuilt?

Wow nice 7 just keep an eye on your coolant level it doesn't take much to overheat it and watch the water temp like crazy lol congrats

It was actually a pretty fair trade The car came with a Kentucky title. As far as insurance, I have never really had issues insuring a car with a rebuilt title.

Thanks for the kind words! I haven't had the chance to drive it yet unfortunately, but as soon as I get the fans installed and take her out, I will def. monitor the temps. Can't wait to actually try this thing more than moving it onto a trailer lol.

Update:

Test fit the Lowenharts (needs more low, and bigger rear tires imo, but at least they fit )


Also, installed the Koyo, and replaced the plastic door handles with metal Rotary13b1.com door handles


Soon enough I will finally be able to drive this thing
