1993 FD...but i found a '92 NA1 for cheaper ( the price makes it seem like something is wrong but i could fix it cuz its a freakin NA1)

i doubt i will get the FD now...cuz of motor problems like it doesnt last for one //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

its the newer RX7's with the TT motor that doesnt last past 70k miles, has apex seal problems, and overheats.

Basically, its a money pit outta the box, and is one of the most un-efficient motors gas-wise,ever created.
