Haven't seen it yet, but it's an FD. There aren't enough FB's left in the UK for them to bother....

It was an FD, a nice episode. Ed did a great job explaining how the rotary worked and then modified the ECU and cooling system to gain 50 bhp. But then they applied a rather questionable vinyl snakeskin motif to the the car to increase its boy racer appeal.

I was so excited to see WD did a Rx7 I stayed up to 3am on 5-28 to catch the rerun when any sensable human would have used the dvr feature on their cable box. I kinda liked the wheels and mirrors but when the rest of the car got the graphics...ughhh...that front end was very sexy, I believe they sais it was a mazdaspeed piece??? Forgive me, I don't know anything about fd's but love them to death...it might be a finance thing

If you're gonna take the time to reply, and are part of the mod team, then it'd probably be a good idea to make the club better and LINK the info. Maybe the next guy will find this thread with your help and you won't have to make someone else feel stupid when he makes a new thread.

OP (and everyone else in this thread), they ruined a perfectly good FD.
