Silver FD in Austin on Brodie?

Hey guys,

I saw a silver FD with something that looked like Mazdaspeed sideskirts on it on Brodie last night. Was that anyone here? If so, you live anywhere near Slaughter?

I've seen a montego blue one occasionally as well. That either of you guys?

Mine's silver, though it's been up on jackstands for close to a year.

mine might as well have been, it's been engine swapped, repainted, almost had a flat (turens out it was a leaky valve stem), and I also had a pierced radiator hose replaced recently. Luckily not all that was out of my pocket.....warranty ftw (except for the hose deal...ugh)

Hey,

I saw the silver one on Brodie again today . Yes, it's got what look like GTC sides, a carbon hood, and sleek headlights of some kind.

heh, I had a feeling that might be someone on here, you had this look on your face like "oh ****, I know that car!" Most of the time I see other 7/8 owners and I can't even get their attention much less make eye contact, thanks for the props, it's a work in progress

i saw the silver one i think on 45 and duval. it turned left on speedway but i had to keep going otherwise i would have followed it. also have seen a blue fc in the houses on brodie before the 7-11. i have a red FB but i've only seen a few rx-7's and they've been far between.

I see a silver FB on westgate all the time come to think of it, mostly parked in the driveway of a house that's right at the corner, can't remember the street name but it's right across the street from an empty drainage ditch we used to jump bmx bikes out of lol
