can anyone tell me much about this car? i only kno it has 202 hp and it was the car of ryosuke takahashi in initial d. i want to buy one of these, but i haven't been able to find a single one on cardomain or North American Ebay. please post some more information based on this car. Thank you.

Akira714

From what I know they're only like 3 of them in the United States. And I pretty shure they're around 350-400hp.

XuperXero

whoa... 350-400 hp? but i heard on the initial d show that ryosuke detuned his savanna to 240 hp and a lotta ppl said the stock hp was 202. and ARE U SURE THERE"S 3 OF THEM IN USA? care to give me name and contact info for all of them?

MtnRacer

Lol. I guess it's true what they say.

"Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer."

Alright, you're new, no big deal. A savannah RX-7 is the exact same turbo II we got here in the states. Savannah is just another name for mazda. Sort of like Toyota:Lexus :: Mazda:Savannah. Get it? Try searching next time, million and one threads on this very same subject. Peace!

I took a guess about the HP since the ones I've seen were around there. And I was shure they wern't sold in the states so they're pretty rare. I heard that only 3 people had them in the states from some forum a while ago. Oh well, people learn from mistakes.

Yeah, Sorry but you came off as a Init D freak.

His car is the same as a US Turbo II(two).
They're like 200 hP for 89-91 US RX7's and like 180hp for 86-88 Turbo's.

Savanna is I believe the same/just diff name like stated above. Savanna/Efini/Infini same as Mazda like Honda to Acura.

The One rare model would be the Infini which has no sunroof and less weight with about 10 more horse I think.

SO...
If you want a Savanna in the US then buy a 89-91 Turbo II which usually sells for about 4-5K for a good one.(only differences would be:
Left hand drive and has emmisions equipment.

Icemark

As mentioned above Savanna is just the name the 1st and 2nd gen RX-7 was sold under in Japan.

Savanna RX-7, instead of the Mazda RX-7.

and sort as reported above, Infini was Mazda's in house sport tuned versions.

The Third Gen RX-7 was sold under the Efini name in Japan instead of the Mazda or Savanna names.

XuperXero

so Savana is just a name born from mazda, that makes me wonder.. r the any more models under savanna name?

MtnRacer, i did search around, they were useless infos and nothing more... -_-;;

Digi7ech, so savanna is just like the american RX-7 FC3S with turbo II producing 200hp? hmm... where did 202 hp come from? i heard that the savanna was a special model that started off with 202 hp (turbo included)
Could you also tell me more about this "The One rare model would be the Infini which has no sunroof and less weight with about 10 more horse I think" like what type model and such? and tell me more about it

i still find the name Savanna impossible to be the distinguished name of mazda, because it would be the only car, and the only model under the name "savanna". lexus, and acura are only in north america to distinguish the luxury modesl from the normal ones, they don't do that in japan....


-INITIAL D FREAK FOR LYFE!!!

The savana RX-7 is the same except on the back it says Savana RX-7. The infini's came with some extra options I believe like bucket seats and were slightly lighter (on some of them). Don't quote me on this. It's just what I've heard

Oh and your last post sounded incredibly hostile so I will tell you that the Infini IV was the model with no sunroof and made 212 Horsepower. Why are you attacking someone that answered your question all of a sudden?

XuperXero

I didn't attack anyone.. i dont see any signs of attacking, threats, etc on anyone.. if i did, i'm sorry i didn't mean it, i'm just eager to find out more about this beautiful machine . so PureSephiroth, u said there's a RX-7 Infini IV that's 212 hp and lighter? that's very intriguing... i'ma get that


how much u figure it's gonna cost?

Dan H

Infini's were never released here in the states. Get an NA if you're new, TII's can be headaches unless you know exactly what you're getting into.

XuperXero

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE! :'(
but r there ANY Infini in the US or Canada?

DanH - i'm new and i'm getting turbo II :P, dont worry tho, i have a good adaptability... (i think)


dammit, i really want an FC with more than bargained for stock horsepower... without souping it up and making crazy modifications on the engine.

I love the Efini badges... I've seen a few TII's that had the badge, it looked awesome.

XuperXero

what badges? :S

edit: isn't it spelt Infini?

Dan H

I don't know why you're so concerned with stock HP numbers. Rotaries respond extremely well to minor mods.

XuperXero

for some reason, i'm just interested in stock HP numbers... maybe becuz i'm too lazy to make any modifications or dont want to waste money to buy modifications... :P

but i will keep in mind that rotaries respond well to minor mods

JonEQuest

How old? Will this be your first car?

Just curious

dr0x

... put away your wallet and resume watching initial d.

Shmapdi

OK, look. I'll answer this once and for all. NO INFINI RX-7 TURBOII'S WERE SOLD IN NORTH AMERICA. It's just a special version of the FC, kinda like Type R but not gay. It's got like 12 more hp than a stock S5 TurboII and no stereo, sunroof and all those goodies, manual everything (gotta skimp on weight) and with nice lightweight buckets. There. And your welcome.

And since you're liable to ask about infinis soon, I highly suggest you check out this thread:

Pretty much every question has been asked, just gotta keep your "new post" trigger finger calm. =) No sweat though, it's a good question. And we were able to save the thread before misinformation about about 350 horsepower RX7s from the factory got too wide spread. I think our work is done here.

My bootlid has Savanna RX-7 on one side and Mazda on the other. Note the correct spelling of Savanna.
You must have missed Icemark's post. Infini is the rare upgraded FC model with the badge that looks like an infinity symbol. Efini is the sales channel Mazda used to sell FD's in Japan. The two are completely different.

Adsy01

As does my Savanna RX7 (see avatar)

amused

i'd put the infini badges on my tii if they were molded like the rx-7 and mazda badges are... but its just a sticker.

stickers are bad

mmkay?



oh btw, those infini bucket seats, how hard are *they* to find? that'd be a neat upgrade

Freaky Monkey007

Its a good thing you didnt post this in the 3rd gen forum.. They are a little less forgiving of this. If you are serious then you need to do a lot more research on the car and less "i saw it on inital d and its kool."

Dan H

I agree. Its the same with the Club4AG.com guys when a wannabe drifter kid wants a Trueno because of Initial D.


I'd say leave the FC's to the true rotary and RX7 enthusiasts, not some Initial D fans who want it because "Takahashi Ryosouke" drives one...
