Just wanted to introduce myself. Been reading GRM from a friend of mine and will be getting my own subscription soon. Love the magazine and just recently discovered the website as well. I see there is another FD guy that just joined on board so I figure I need to follow suit and show off a bit. Check my garage for more details, but here you go. The 94 PEP FD only has 35K original miles on it.

The FC is a friend of mines.

Still think that the FD is the best looking car to come out of Japan. I hear that they're kinda fast too Congrats on having one in almost unheard-of low milleage.

Greetings and salutations.

I was thinking the opposite. I hate seeing pictures of FD's and FC's together. FD's are so much prettier and I have an FC.

OP, gorgeous car and welcome!

I heart RX7's. Even if I do have a nasty habit of disemboweling them and dropping the still beating heart into something else entirely.

Welcome to the funny farm!

So the FC is a buddy of excavations made in the earth for the purpose of extracting ores, coal, precious stones, et cetera? How unusual!

And to think the acquisition of "Subie Sport" is supposed to bring in more Subaru guys. Who knew?

I'm just a few miles north of you. And I think I recognize your plate. I may have seen you around, but with 35k on the car, maybe not! :)

We should have a Chicagoland Beer Night or something and meet up. There's a bunch of us out here.

Chances are you have seen me. I have been driving it a lot lately with winter coming up and having a cracked rim on my V. I have to enjoy driving this car a little more before mother nature puts her foot down. Just have to wait for another year to get back out to BHF and Autobahn...

I would be up for a local gathering.

Amen! Who knew that cams, valves, pistons, etc etc were so useless.

I have an RX-7 exactly like that!

Except it's a '79. And it's yellow. And it makes about 100hp.

^100hp? not bad. I am putting down 300rwhp on the stock twins at the moment . My car was dyno tuned two summers ago and still needs a road tune to smooth out the power, boost transitions etc to eek out a little more HP.

Want to get a 20B as a track car in the future and "save" this car from a major oops at the track. we'll see.

Thanks for welcoming me to the funny farm,
