IN Newbie rotary owner. 1993 FD Indiana
Hey guys, just picked up a 93 FD in a trade. I was planning on flipping the car really quick but after driving it for a week I fell in love. So far im loving everything about this car, the looks and comments it gets is ridiculous!

Plans for it:
Better set of wheels
Lowering springs
5sp swap?

Let me know what you think! Glad to be a part of the board!

Thanks guys! Found out I'm within 2 hours from a couple rotary shops which is cool. Banzai performance and apex tuning. I actually got asked today if my car was a Ferrari lol.

Thanks guys! I traded a built 95 eagle talon for it. I miss that car because it was a rocket, but it just didnt ave the same appeal and value the 7 does. It had a built motor, hx-35 turbo, on e85, 26 psi of boost etc etc. I'm sure the RX7 has plenty of potential too though.

If you ever find yourself in Indy, hit me up. I just bought a 1993 RX7 with only 15K miles on it.
