Out with the old, in with the... Older.

Been a little bit since I've posted on the forum. Reason being, I've sold the CG3 and never need help with problems anymore. Seems like all I ever did was ask questions about problems I was having. Got less then I would've liked for it, but if I was looking for a return on it I wouldn't have done anything to it. Here is how she sat when I sold it.

Was looking really hard to get into the RWD world, but since everybody wants an arm and a leg for their junky 240s in my area, I ended up looking away from those. Wasn't left with much else that I liked. After much debate and second guessing in my mind I finally bought a car that met my criteria.

1989 RX-7 vert.

Interior is almost 100% brand new, and is all in great condition.

Love me some pop-up headlights.

I've had it about a week now, and its a blast to drive. Warmed up a bit here in Houston just in time for me to buy a drop-top as well. I think its a great looking car with a lot of potential. The short shifter in it is stupid short, makes me wonder if I'm in the right gear at times. I have big plans for the car, but even the money I have left from selling the accord isn't gonna pay for much of it. Just like my accord though, I know it will get there soon enough. Hope you guys enjoy the car I know I do.

Hope you enjoy the new car, your Accord was nice but everyone gets to the point of being ready for something else, whether newer or older. Glad you didn't get a 240, everyone has those things and they really aren't that great. Love the hood scoop and wheels, haha.

Post a thread for it in the Non-6GA rides section when you get a chance.

One of the rare convertible 7. (Only 5000+ imported to U.S. between '88 ~'91.) That is very sweet finding imo. I'm sure you'll get a lot of compliments, wherever you go & stop by. Congrats! :beer:

you think your accord gave you problems...

mmm i love me some fc's. if your planning to get into drifting you shouldn't have gotten a drop top though as most tracks won't allow a drop top on course without a cage even if your out there alone. So since it has a hood scoop I'm assuming its the turbo2 model? sweet pick up for sure though I want one some day so I can build a rotory powered car. time to start researching how to rebuild a rotory, cause its gonna need new apex seals eventually. glad to see someone else getting into the rwd game!

Sweet find bro. I had a FC years ago I should have never sold her. They are definitely divas and require alot of love but it's so worth it.

Lol yeah I know, I know. From one problematic car to the next. Although it is going to take some getting used to, and A LOT of extra maintenance, but I do know that the previous owner has kept extensive care of the car. It runs great, and loves to freeking rev! Seems like the RPMs just never end. First things first, I'm gonna do a full tune-up soon. Oil change, filter, plugs, wires, coils, the works.
