I test drove one the was at a local dealer back in the states, and that was it. I had wanted one for a long time, but after driving it I had to have one period! The car was way to expensive that time, but I did finally get one when I came to Japan.

my friend bought a red r1 in 96 so and after we drove it 2 hours home, he let me blast it up the street. the power delivery of the fd is totally unique and addicting.

My first experince driving a FD was the one I bought and own today. That was the first time I'd ever driven a turbocharged car too.. so, when the turbo's kicked in I wanted to nut.

mine was the first I ever drove. I learned stick on it. I took a corner on a road near my house and exploded out of it. I was shocked at the way the car was able to transfer the power so nicely out of the corner. I was in love shortly after

My first tie with a FD was through Rikki.

My buddy told me that his little brother had bought a RX7.

I had thought rx7's were really expensive so I just had to go see it.

I called Rikki up and the next week to get a ride in it. It was already modded with a PFS Catback and IC.

I was hooked the second he boosted it.

I bought my first one about a month later.
