NY New to RX-7's: 1993 base FD in NY
The name's Chris.
From Eastern Suffolk on Long Islnd N.Y.

This is my first RX-7 and I'm absolutely stoked , despite a few details but I don't think I should post any mechanical problems in the intro.

48K miles, has had the "rats nest" removed, and upgraded downpipe and y pipe. I have plans for a few other things, but again, I won't go into detail here.

Here she is being delivered:

First bath:

And, finally, here she is after two weeks of ownership with some touches of my own added:

Work Emotion XD-9s 18x9 (+38 offset) in Matte Bronze. Tire size is 245x35 for the front, 265x35 in the rear, and I also installed BC Coil-overs:

I think baseline is a good model. Super rare, no sunroof like the R1s, dope looking durable cloth seats. Only thing your missing is duel oil cooler. Nice ride

I'm in the Riverhead area.


The coil overs have made the car handle MUCH better, way more rigid. As for comfort, I haven't noticed much difference. I never get in this car with the expectation of being comfortable though.
