Great looking SA. And that is exactly what I thought when I was looking for an Rx7. I looked at one FB, and a few FC's. None of the FC's compared to how much fun the FB was, and so I bought the FB. I bought another one about six months ago. I'm a hardcore addict of these cars now. Have fun with it, and take care of her.

I never thought the SA's were all that cool until I owned one.Now I think they are the only RX-7's I will consider if I ever have to replace mine which is highly unlikely.

SA's rule the RX-7 world,and oh yeah great color! YU is "the" coolest paint code.

No offense Stu I do love your red car.

Mad Props Jerry.


I drove my SA last week, really reminded me why I like it so much, I find the hard part of owning it is making it go slow.

yes mad props to you jerry. =D. i am now going to piece my red 7 together to tear it up for a bit then by an FB and make a turbo 12a drift machine hopefully. i can only imagine that a 1st gen could possibly top an AE86 in drifting if its tuned right, but of course, the SA goes original and becomes my collectors item haha.

I seem to have the same issue with my FB.....
I always wanted a yellow SA, till I saw a red FB. Then I wanted both........ I have the red FB, and blue FC. But I still want a yellow SA............

I started with and FC, still have it for a DD. then I bought a 1st gen, no more thoughts of owning all 3 gens, old school is too much fun. Now I have a fairly wild 1st gen and recently acquired up a REPU to restore and sold my TII shell to make room for it.

The REPU will cost more than twice as much and 5 time the work to put on the street as the TII would have, but it will be more fun.

I didn't like the SAs, at first, never cared for yellow either. When kgray brought his Spark Yellow SA up for me to work on, I want one now.

Welcome to the 1st gen section, home of the Dark Side tight, (cheap), asses.
