Better paint (white), more torque, better seat belts (s5), Honestly though if we could change this stuff why would we want our 7's, half the fun is working on them and fixing them up, and not to mention they are fun as hell to drive on back roads. Right?

 

where ae you located in missouri?

 

Decent steering adjustment
Legroom
Headroom
Plastic trim that doesn't snap off every time you touch it (A/C vents)
Hatch latches you don't have to fiddle with to make it open
Door locks that don't require you to hold the handle open to lock them (that might just be me...)
A less ridiculous rear suspension design (just look at that thing, FFS)]
A sunroof that doesn't take 4 different actions to open (okay, two, but I still have to hold the button all the way)
Power windows with one-touch-down (ok, I don't have power windows, and you can add the one-touch down with Icemark's parts...)
Decent power-steering control (engine RPM-based is CRAP, although the S5 turbo still had the good stuff...)
Room for massively wide tires
Torque?

 

"space" ha i like that.
our chassis are old, i meant as in improved technology. i.e. FD/SE3P
chassis rigidity , and the little improvements that mazda has made over the years.
Taking something newer into something older isn't bad is it?

 

Driver's side vanity mirror on visor (yeah, I do my make-up in the car, so what?) CUPHOLDERS!!! (so I have somewhere to put my coffee while doing my make-up)
Dent resistant side panels, because it doesn't matter how carefully you park, some jerk is gonna ding your door.
ABS brakes, airbags, GPS...just because all the new cars have them, not because I've ever needed them.

Oh, one more...I had a 1981 626 before my RX-7 and it had headlight washers! That was cool!

 

10th AE's have headlight squirters.

 

what new feture on modern cars would you add to your second gen?

How about a spell checker? "feture"



What new feature on modern cars would you add to your second gen?

 

yeah i noticed that after the 30 mins to edit were over

 

I'd like to have triangle vent window on my vert. I need more air coming in w/o opening top.
And a rain visor for vert too.

 

better feeling brakes, more electronics, etc.

stuff like electronic brake assist and adjustable electronic throttle. power steering systems have gotten a lot better also on new cars.

 

Stainless steel? Hold on Marty, we're going BACK to the FUTURE!!!

For real, I'd take aluminum, but have you ever tried to take a dent out of stainless steel? That's why used, good condition DeLoreans are so expensive!

 

Sorry, that's funny. I just blew a coolant seal and I still say my rx7 is pretty damn reliable for a car that had 200,000 miles on the original engine, in a car that's 19 years old.

What would I like to add? How about OBD II? It'd be nice to take the thing to the parts store and have them pull codes to tell me exactly what's wrong instead of these old vacuum tube era vehicle computers that will let you run 25% rich without ever telling you "Hey, you think your o2 sensor might be bad?" Or misfire or stumble without ever throwing a code.

 

Seriously. When the 2nd Gen RX7 was brand new, according to Motor Trend, you could balance a nickel on its side and rev the engine up without it falling over. Ever think lack of a stable idle might be something wrong with your car? :P

 

Or that pimp umbrella holder in the driver's door.

 

Without dragging this thread off topic, I think you would be very surprised by how much I know about the DeLorean...

The stainless is no big deal to fix if it gets dented. Far easier then an equivelant steel/painted car.

I have an aluminum car and it's a bloody nightmare keeping the dents under control.

 

how come no one has cup holders. i have an FC sport and i have cup holders.

 

DSG-style transmission would be badass, to expand/clarify the earlier paddle-shifter idea.

Cupholders would be nice, they are handy when getting drive-thru food. I don't eat in my car.

 

A warantee.

Telescopic Steering Wheel Adjustment!
A place to put my cell phone lol.
Tie Downs in the rear hatch area.
Keyless entry with central locking.
Rain sensing wipers.
Steering wheel audio controls with a mute button.

 

^^sounds like a BMW to me

a telescopic wheel would fix alot of problems though

 

My 89 FC GX has tie down staps in my rear hatch area, but no cup holders (I don't call the little 'coaster rings' inside the glove box lid "cupholders")

 

Actually, it sounds just like my new Mazda 6 lol!

And those luggage tie down straps are useless. I've had very little luck anything in one place for long. I want those nice hinged metal "U" brakets so I can tie down anything that isn't briefcase size!

 

my cup holders slide out and hold drinkls very well, except when im performing "emergency" manuvers.

 

I'd like to find a hideaway cupholder. From where do your cupholders slide? Is it an OEM setup? On what model?

 

under my stereo. they slide out. its the sport model. idk if thyre stock or mabey factory orderd but they were there when i bought it.
