CA New rx7 owner in SoCal.

hello fellow rx7 owners.
I have always been interested in Rx7 2nd generation.
after acquiring a stable occupation, I had the opportunity to treat myself out by buying my first car.

with a budget I had, I was constantly looking at craigslist, and other classified sites.
I was looking for EK9, MR2 or Fc.

after months of searching, I found a clean rx7 that I immediately fell in love with.
I fell in love with the car that i was afraid i would loose the car if I didnt buy it asap, so i didnt even bother negotiating.

However, this is my first time driving and owning a manual shift car.
so, the owner of the car was nice enough to guide me to learn the basics of driving stick.

and from that my journey with my fc started.

for about a week, i have totally abused the car by stalling and dumping the clutch.

it broke my heart, but i believe i am getting better.


I am looking forward to getting a lot of help from you guys and the club.
thank you and wish me luck

rotary powa!

Good stuff. Is it turbo or just a turbo hood?

Welcome!

And don't worry, all of us who learned to drive manual had to take out our early frustrations on a car so it's not just you!

super clean FC man, love the color, and the single exhaust outlet i think looks way better than the dual that fc's originally came with.
