I've had three FD 7s. Bought the first one new in 93. It was a yellow R1.I just sold it 2 months ago.Not counting the cost of the car,over the years I put over 50K in it. It was fast. Had 400HP. I had reduced the total weight to 2500lbs. I went through many engines, many rebuilds,many parts. Every winter I would remove the engine and do some new modification to gain afew extra HPs. Lots of fun. Most fun car I've ever owned.( I've had more than 50) thats right I'm an old guy now. Anyway, if I had it to do over again,I would buy the car and do nothing to it but drive it (very slow and easy) Unless you're an old guy too with lots of money and and enjoy working on your car more than you drive it. Good luck. Jim
