'93 Touring with 51,000 miles

Hey guys, there are some beautiful cars here. Thought I would add mine. The exterior is stock, but I hope you enjoy.



Foreground car is a lt-4 c4.




The MB seven in the next two pictures belongs to omgitsjason on the forum.

New RX7 FD owners from Peru (pics)

Me and my twin brother are 300ZX (Z32) owners for almost 7 years and fanatics since the day we saw one for first time...We own 2 300ZX TT's of the 4 that exist in Peru (there are like 12-15 NA Z32's, but you never see them either) and have always loved FD's too, but never thought we could have one since they are as hard to find as Z32's and if you find one it will most likely be in bad condition.

A month ago a guy who has a big car collection was selling one of the most if not the most pristine RX7 you can find in the country...It was a ONE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY for me and my brother to buy this '93 RX7 R1 with only 15,500 miles for only US$10,000...It was a no brainer for us, lol.

Me and my bro have a company called TheTwinZ Customs that makes custom body parts for Z32's, export them to the US and are very well known in the Z community...We might be making some custom parts for this cars too.

Onto the pics...

Now...WTF are we going to do with 2 Z's and an FD??

I've already been asked to sell my blue Z for $17K with the condition of having it running and ready to boost...I'm not sure of what to do yet, but most likely will sell the blue Z...$17K can get me some serious mods for the white Z (~500RWHP?), keep the FD as much reliable as an FD can be and also help me make some new parts for the Z32 and start something for the FD too.

Sorry for the long intro...Can't wait to learn more and more about these beautiful cars!

Thanks.

Thanks! I still can't believe the price of this car...I think I could sell it for twice what I paid, but this car is a keeper and will never sell it

Wow I can't believe the front mount fits with the radiator mounted in the stock position... Crazy! Very clean car. Upgrade your AST

HOLY $hit!! I just realized you paid $10k for a 15k mile FD... You lucky SOB!! There's one up here for sale near Seattle with 14k original miles and the owner wants $27k

Deal of a lifetime is an understatement. Where did this car come from originally? I love the blue. I love the wheel color. Matches the blue perfectly. There was a 93 R1 on Autotrader last week for 17,900 and I thought that was a great price. It had 15K miles in vintage red. I payed 27K for my 95 with 6.5K in 05. Your a lucky man. Use the money from the Z to put lights in the front. Saaweet!

I would have given 20k for that, I can't get over how nice it is. Still so jealous. The R1 is still my US market favorite.

Actually the intercooler pipes are too low because of the radiator and scrap sometimes with the big bumps.
Which one is the AST? IT's a new term for me....Any more suggestions are welcome!

I think I could get up to $25,000 with the right buyer...Well, I'll never know that.

This car came from the US in 1996 and was brought by the owner of a wood industry until he got paralized because of an accident...He still kept the car for more than 2 years until he realized it was inevitable that he wouldn't be driving the car anymore, then the owner of a very big fishing company who also was a car collector bought the car...The guy passed away like 4 years ago, then his son kept the cars for some time until he started selling most of them for incredible prices...I was the lucky guy who bought the FD, but there were other lucky guys who bought some cars from him for very nice prices too, AFAIK.

My blue Z has almost the came color combo...I will post pics of it once I get home.

Do you know where I can buy the '99 fog lights?

I will as soon as I finish some projects with my Z's...I like how my FD looks now, but I would have gone for a different body kit and wing.

Really cool that you found one in Peru. I'm peruvian as well, but a rotor head, not much into the Z, but we still get along. Where in Lima do you and your bro stay at? My cousin is over there right now, and it'd be cool if he could see your cars maybe. Nice deal, extremely well done deal...

Oe en serio, vacan que encontraste un carro de ese calibre en Peru. Quedate con el motor rotor, y te encantara mas...

Thanks for the words...I live in Surco, near El Trigal (maybe you know where that is)...Let me know if your cousin want to meet sometime...To be honest, we both have full time jobs, so it would be very hard to meet, but we could always find the time and try to show him some of the peruvian car scene. Also, if he stays here long enough, we can show him our white Z that right now is getting a full paint job and some mods...It's gonna look sweet in the BMW M6 alphine white color and gunmetal wheels!

Here's a couple of pics of my Z's...
