[QUOTE="Clutch_Shift_Accelerate, post: 1064420488, member: 158164"] I'm most likely gonna this FD3S after thinking and researching hard on this. [url]http://www.zerotohundred.com/newforums/cars-for-sale/438738-rx7-fd3s-for-sale.html#post1064414960[/url] Talk to the owner and he seems to have taken care of the car in a decent way. Gonna see the car soon as he's driving it up to Selangor. I'll have a detailed look at it in terms of its engine, maintainance and how it rides. If I do get it I would probably do the following upgrades to it: - Carbon fibre hood - Reduce exhaust size a little bit as the current one tilts the rear diffusor. - Switch from single turbo to twin turbo - Change the headlights to something like this [url=http://www.ebay.com/bhp/mazda-rx7-headlights]Mazda RX7 Headlights | eBay[/url] - Any other engine related maintainance Opinions & thoughts?[COLOR="Silver"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- 6 hour anti-bump limit - Previous post was at 12:48 AM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] Boss to be honest your description seems to be one of the most sensible of the lot that i've read on here.
