Alright I know but just to prove it to someone since this would be the place to ask from 1993 to 1995 could you get a FD without Turbos!?

 

No 3rd-Gen RX-7 came without Turbos, any year, any country. Though I have heard of people converting it to NA in Japan.

 

and the consensus is.......NO

 

stock, NO. there was someone in Cali though (i believe) that comverted their FD to an all rotor autocross car. im pretty sure someone has pix of it.

 

Looks like Azrael just lost $500 .

 

ooOoh, Ausuka Evangellion rocks

 

Heheh thank you, thank you....I know I rock...err I mean I know she rocks . Speaking of Asuka being cool (btw sorry for stealing your thread Mr. Dark ), but I seemed to be her perfect match. Yup, yup, I went to

and it said that Asuka was my perfect match. Now I know what to look out for in a woman lol.

 

No prob bro....I think some of you misunderstood my post. I was the one who knew there is no way you could get a 3rd gen that was NA and I also knew that it had to have the rotory engine and you could not get a 4cyl version. My friend jake however strongly disbelieved in me.

 

Ahh it's all good man hehe. What are friends for, ya know? They are really there to argue with and to to make sure that they knwo that you are God .

 

Yup, they were all twin-turbo rotaries. No non-turbo and no 4-cylinder versions were available.

There are a number of FD race cars with NA motors and probably even more with three rotors, but they all came from the factory with a twin-turbo two rotor.

That's right they didn't come in 4 cylinder but they did come in 6 cylinder Twin Turbo form. atleast that's what a lot of dealerships say they are.

 

Hehe the funniest thing is that all ricers that see an FD without a spoiler believe its the "low end, non turbo" You can embarass a lot of peeps with a sleeper touring with no wing.

 

Too crazy for me....people just have no idea sometimes.

 

i really hear this alot, as if i really should reply and waste my breath arguing for the cause...

 

it's so funny when i go out to the spots on friday and saturdays... i usually go with a friend who has a 96 cobra which is actually pretty nice, but i never drive my honDUH, but all the guys with like the american muscle and the higher end jap cars always make fun of the rice boys that come up asking the most retarded questions about their cars... its a riot. there is this one guy we call 'newbie' cause ever since he started coming when he first got his car (91 civic 4 door with lots of LEDs) he has asked atleast one dumb question a night... i dont know, you probably have to be there to think its funny, but if and when i get an FD, i will be ignoring most of the ignorant comments that come my way.... and im sure there will be lots of them for an FD seeing how in the past 2 years i have only seen 3 total FDs crusing the strips around here.... so sad *tear*


oh btw, this is my first post with my new avatar you like?

 

Yeah I get asked a lot if I have the "turbo" model people think that if a FD doesn't have front and rear spoiler then its not a turbo
One more post til I can change my avitar hehe

 

Is there a problem with educating people on something they don't know about? It sure seems like there is in your mind.

 

And 100
Yeah Baby!!!!!!!

 

This thread is degenerating into *that one thread*. Not that that's bad.

 

Im taking out my turbo system since im tired of it and carb'ing my FD

 

So my car has no front lip & no rear spoiler (I took them off), no rear wiper, and a solid roof ... what does that make me? 3-cylinder Metro motor?

 

I get all sorts of dumb questions, but i just answer them anyway. I figure, they ask me a dumb question, i give them the answer, they dont ask that dumb quesion again. The most common one i get is if its a V6. Oh well, it really doesnt matter i guess. I guess being an *** is sometimes a lot of fun. I should know, considering thats what i do most of the time.

 

Questions don't bother me....it's when poeple refuse to believe I'm right when I know that I know far more about the Rx-7 or any car we might argue about than they do. It's usually friends or someone I know. Thats really how this started. BUt oh well I guess theres really nothing you can do. I don't know anyone personsally who has an Rx-7 so i really couldn't prove my point.

 

i always get the people who think i got the "low end" NA rx7 cause i got no spoiler, heh i even had someone say they knew it wasnt turbo cause the TT emblem wasnt on the back (has anyone ever seen an rx with a tt or any turbo emblem on the back for that matter). wither way they find out the truth sooner or later hehe

 

I had the common "is that a turbo?" experience the other day. A guy in a white truck pulled up and asked about my car as we were waiting at a light. I gave the "they're all turbos" response and he started to go into how his friend has one without turbos. I said "nope, all the ones with this body style (FD) have turbos, twin turbos in fact -- your buddy could have removed them but that seems unlikely". "No dude, he's got a silver one without turbos." Then the light turned green, thankfully. It is quite weird how people can't get it through their heads. I can see how you might expect that they came in both forms, but a lot of people seem to imagine that they have seen non-turbo ones.
