Well then, I suggest you park it here in Vancouver and come drive it on weekends. You can go for 5000 miles here and only see one moose.

That's amazing. I would've never thought about buying won for HK. How is driving it in HK? Are there a lot of nice roads tracks?

Spirit R in Titanium Grey, nice choice!

I mean - BEST CHOICE!!!

If this is a Type A then all I can say is I am super jealous and that you got a VERY RARE example of an FD RX7

Yes indeed is a type A.... I refit the original OEM rims and now in the bubble. Next thing to do will be clean the underneath and rust protection with epoxy mastic for underseal and cavity wax. Super happy now.
