Re: Early 90's Jap Cars.

NSX would be pimp-sauce. My friend had a 93 Rx7 TT Touring Edition. The car was a blast to drive...only issue was that I was sure the turbo's were on their way out and so was the apex seals because 1st gear, it was quite ferocious but after 1st, nothing, 2nd- nothing, once you got to third, it wouldn't even rev. If any of you guys remember a Black RX7 running 17s at RF about 2-3 years ago, that was my friends. If I remember correctly, those turbos were crap and the JDM Efini twin turbos were upgrades. I guess you can say going from a stock t25 to the e316g would be a nice comparison. I personally think it's hard to find a FD that has not been molested and has been babied in the correct price range.
The FD my friend bought at 45k miles on it. He went from owning a Honda Prelude without much knowledge of his car to a Rotary, twin turbo-charged car. By the time it was sold, we had our fun. The car felt very nice as a sports car through winding roads but his car just disappointed us because of how weak it was and how un-maintained he kept it. Oh yeah, did I mention he put f-ing 'lambo doors' on his? That FD was a wreck but man was it fun to drive. I only wished the engine was at 100% and not at 10%.
