New from SoCal!
 
Greetings all!
My name is Spenser.I have been away from the car scene for a couple years but found a great rx-7 and had to pull the trigger on it. I'm excited to start working on my 7, familiarizing myself with the car, and losing sleep from reading the endless info on these beautiful cars.


On-to the pics!

Pic I snapped today while getting it smogged.

Thanks for reading,

What happened to the Sti?

charlescho 05-11-13 12:15 PM

nice which part of california?

suspense 05-11-13 10:03 PM

The STI was taking too much of my monthly expenses, simply wanted to live more comfortably rather than check to check.

I'm located in socal, la habra to be exact. I met someone named Jeff at a local best buy that owned an fd talking about some meets so I hope to attend some soon.

Love the fc, specialy with those rims, what year is your fc?

itr78 05-11-13 11:42 PM

nice looking car - i used to have a 91T. you pick it up local in socal?

Mazdarian 05-12-13 05:27 AM

Hey Spenser, welcome aboard!

Now congratulations on making me seriously doubt on what wheels
I should get for my FC. Those XXR's look really good on yours, so
I'm in quite a split between deep-lip mesh wheels or super-concaves like
those 527's.
Thought I had my mind made up a bit by now, and then you came along ><
Loving the way she sits man, proper good job.

Anyways, enjoy your time here on the forum, and I bet we'll be
seeing eachother 'round these here parts often!

XXR 530's mind you, my bad.

If you don't mind me asking where are the meets around and how often? I just picked up an Fd and want to meet some new people:)

It's an 88, the previous owner put the S5 on them but one of them has some condensation so I will be replacing them when I can.

Yeah, it was a local pick up about 30 mins from my house.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Yeah I love the concave look to the 530's, I also had 527's on my STi which I really liked. I think I'll actually be going the other route you're thinking, some type of deep dish mesh or any sort of deep dish frankly. Thanks again!

Not sure about meets yet, I still don't have internet at my house [reason for the slow replies] but I know of some Cars and Coffee in Irvine, but I can't remember how often they meet up.

Thanks guys, hope to see you around soon!

Thanks for replying though! Hopefully I'll see you around, since I'm kind of close to La Habra

Of course, if I find any meets I'll send you a PM. I actually work in Anaheim too, so I'm always around OC area.

suspense 05-14-13 10:06 PM

Thanks fellas.

Thanks! Yeah, I got kinda lucky but paid top dollar, the owner had to leave the country so he left the mods on it. 68k miles and a stock motor besides the cat-back [which I can't identify]

Thanks!

S4 Vert 05-15-13 06:24 PM

You are welcome.

That's cool though, because it saved you from spending money to make the repairs and upgrades needed to get your FC to where it is now. And with low mileage on a stock engine you totally won on your purchase.

Congratulations again!

Yeah, I'm thinking the transmission might need some work done but other than that it drives like a dream. Thanks again.

So awesome someone knew who I met at best buy. I'll take a look at the section and send a PM over to SevenStock, thanks for the info.

They're XXR 530's.

94socal7 05-18-13 12:34 AM

Silly Andy! I'm not Mr. Sevenstock, that title goes to Bern.
I'm just the CFO, logistics coordinator, and another 'anything else that has to get done' do'er. LOL!

Nice to meet you Spenser.

Maybe you can bring your FC around to the Puente Hills Mazda meet tomorrow.
