Default Farewell for now

Well CL family, due to the rise in sc prices lately and my short budget for a new DD, I was forced to stray away from my beloved car. Picked up a 1991 Mazda Rx-7 GTU with 75k original miles. Also wanted a 5-speed car and a fair condition 5spd sc300 was even farther from my budget.

I still think Sc's are the best looking cars made (rear shot of DvSiR's car is my desktop still and will stay lol), but i wanted something different, and i wanted a rotary. Still have the Sc but its for sale and should be gone soon. Here's some older pics of my car and a pic of my new FC.









I will still lurk, probably more than the rx forums lol.

GLWS, sorry to see you go. Looks like a clean FC though and can't go wrong with only 75k miles

Hope you got enough money to support the FC, SC>FC cheaper in the long run.

But my heart will always have a spot for the FD

What is it a rebuild every 60k miles or less? I use to browse the rx7 forums all day when i was a freshmen in highschool and thought i was gonna get one, but i realized how much money its going to take.

rx7 are more of a money pit than the SC
