That is one sexy FB. I hope to expand my garage to getting the 1st and 2nd gen RX-7 if i can find the particular trim levels i want (i.e. 1990 Turbo 2 or 10AE Turbo 2) and not sure for the 1st gen yet. Welcome to the 8 club!

My FD engine still has excellent compression, the car has 40k miles,but a couple months I bought a brand new (not Rebuild) REW engine from mazda to Save as spare. I'm going to start reading about the REW conversion in the RX8 😃.

Thanks, The 8 is super nice as a daily driver, sounds good with the exhaust and intake, and rides well with the coil-overs. The FD and 85 GSLSE stay in the garage most of the time.

I love my 8's as a daily drivers. They just have such a good ride and are a blast to drive. I cruise my 80 and 85 RX-7's in the summer and my 10AE RX-7 rarely gets driven. You're GSL-SE looks incredible!! How long have you owned the car?
