Just picked up my DREAM car! *pics*
Some of you may or may not remember but I used to own a black '95 R2. The car had some problems when I bought it, and I spent a few grand getting it back to a proper running condition.
Well, I sold it last June to a nice older guy out of CT who is planning to keep it stock
Since then I've been sitting on my money waiting for something to catch my eye. I was looking at everything from Supras, 350zs, STis, Evos, etc... But I knew deep down that I just couldn't say goodbye to the FD.
About 3 weeks ago I saw an ad for this mint CYM only an hour an a half from my house! Needless to say I jumped on it and never looked back. The seller, Chris, was fantastic through the whole process and very honest. The car was just as clean as it was described and I had no surprises. I am VERY happy with the car, and it is now living in my garage with the cover on She's in very good hands!
Anyway, on with the pics... Sorry they're not that great, I'll take more eventually after it's tagged and I have time to detail her!
93 CYM
44,210 Miles
All original, All stock, MINT condition
BTW, special thanks to Dan (Scrub) for helping me check it out, and Adam (SurroundedbySe7ens) for helping me go pick her up friday night

Wow, very nice man! Nice to see low mileage mint CYMs like that, mine has 36k original miles but it isnt all stock like that. I'm glad you took all the pictures under light, it really brings the paint out.
Good find!

Wow, great pics!!
I love this pic in particular:
It really shows the diminutive proportions of the FD! Anyway, gorgous car, and congrats on the new purchase
"FD - have it your way"
What are your plans, if any for the car? Reliability mods, etc?

Thanks guys!
RX7 RAGE - I paid the asking price of 19k, worth every penny!
superior force - I plan to keep it pretty clean. "tastefully modified" is what i'm going for. The mods will come slowly, and will be carefully selected
TT_Rex_7 - My '95 R2 was a BB... If I didn't buy a CYM, I wanted to get another BB! My second favorite color on the FD's
Garoad - Found it in Annapolis, MD... about an hour and a half south of me
KaiFD3S - No engine bay pics, but it's all stock. The bay is very clean though!

Haha, I love that truck. My dad uses it to pull his horses, I don't think it even noticed that it was pulling that little FD
RX7WEEE - I didn't know you had sold yours! Definitely grab another one. I thought I was done too, but I just couldn't find another car that I was in love with as much as an FD!

Congratulations stokedxiv!
I followed the sale of your car last year and have seen many of your posts related to looking for a new vehicle. Glad to see that your patience paid off and in knowing that a another stock FD found a good home.
