One nifty thing about the FD book is that they show the test muld 2nd gen car. It had the FD's powerplant frame and the four-wheel double-wishbone suspension. Sweet...

I know what that is!
It's the infamous "silver hardcover" Rotary Engine book!

No, but I did check out and read this book from the library once. It was written just before the bottom dropped out on GM's rotary project. Very interesting reading.

Dark, Harris Edward. The Wankel Rotary Engine: Introduction and Guide Bloomington, IN: Indiana University Press. 1974

For those of you that don't have this book, I highly recommend it. It has a lot of information for such a small book.

Matras, John. Sports Car Color History -- Mazda RX-7 Osceola, WI: Motorbooks International. 1994

BTW, your pillow doesn't EXACTLY match your car, if your car is the one in the pic. Anyone know why?


Node: RENTed... that's a good one...

How about having the same car for 7 years, through 6 motors. I have about 6 magazines from the late 80s early 90s with articles about Fcs. Oh and this.

wtf is up w/ all of the forcefed7 variants. This makes two of them besides forcefed7.
And uhm, besides having white windows, and being a little pudgey, id guess that the plush has the wind deflector things for the windows

Rear wing is the Sport wing, vs the GTU wing on RX-7 in RX-7Addict's sig. Also, pillow is a right-hand drive car. How do I know that? Wipers face the opposite direction.
