WA 1990 RHD FC3S Turbo - The New Toy!

Just a quick walk around video of my 1990 Right Hand Drive RX-7 GTX!

Having owned Just about every model of FC from 86-91 and 2 FDs, I've never owned the S5 turbo or RHD version.
So needless to say I jumped at the chance to buy this car, literally, I contacted importavehicle.com and drove up to
pick this up the same day! This has always been my dream car and I'm glad to say it's sitting in my garage as I type this.
I'll be adding more pics and making more videos in the near future, you can also follow on social media in my sig.

I absolutely will! Getting used to hugging the line on the right hand side is taking some getting used to and left hand turns from a stop light with cars in the opposing tuning lane is a real struggle, but it's all worth it! LOL

I've got a few things planned for her but I'm going to start with general maintenance obviously.

Only 129km on the clock which equates out to 80k in miles.

I'm still not happy with the way the guys over at importavehicle.com handled the transaction. I had to wait exactly a month for them to overnight all the customs forms, export and import documents and they weren't even accurate! The day I contacted their sales guy he assured me that they had all the documents in order and that I would be getting them at the time of purchase. After driving up to see the car they had a "representative" meet me at the shop to purchase the vehicle and he stated that he didn't know anything about any documents. So I got on the phone with the sales guy and he stated that they would send me over a bill of sale right away and the documents would be sent overnight the next day (HA! yeah right). They also never stated that the front left fender had a large dent! It's cosmetic but it's frustrating to look at although I think it's repairable without any paint work. I will have to take it to a shop and see what they can do.

Anyway, enough rambling, let me know what you guys think. General maintenance is in order next on my list that's for sure! The car needs some TLC starting with an oil change, rad flush, belts possibly, tires and tie-rods.

Here's a quick action cam video I made yesterday of my car shooting a fire ball from the GP Sports exhaust. Check it out on my instagram:
