Finally Bought FD!!

Sup guys, just wanted to introduce my car.

Well its been a long 3 months or so. Sold the Busa and found a 1994 RX-7 in awesome shape. The problem was that I had to drive to Texas to pick it up. The only problem is that it is auto, but the car is in excellent shape. Paint shines like new, and the interior still smells new! New motor, turbos, intercooler, shocks, radio, new everything basically. The car has 74500 miles. A/C is cold and starts perfectly.

Planning on doing an LS1 swap, that is why I opted for an auto.

you dont want to know. haha

I got almost everything for free. I just got the engine installed a few days ago so its not running yet. I need to get my wiring harness modified, driveshaft, and the hydraulic systems. There's a guy in walnut creek thats going to help me w/ the wiring harness. I just ordered the hydraulic system from summit since hinsonsupercars.com is lagging like a bitch. I took off my sexy style body and going w/ a 99 front end w/ front plate holder and apex side skirts. My car is also going into the body shop next week for a full paint job (ferrari red).
here's a pic:

hey i am not flaming you bro, but why did you buy an fd with all new stuff? you should have just bought the shell. it would have been WAY cheaper. but if you plan on modding that auto, dont, you will blow your tranny. it just happened to me.

Reason for buying this particular car I was able to get it at a nice price. The new powertrain was a major plus as well.

I will selling everything when I do the swap, but that wont be until next spring. And if you're wondering I do have the receipts for everything that was replaced.
