im looking into getting a FD int eh next 2 months or so and i have been primarily looking at colors and options since they all basically have the same performance (granted the "R" models handle a hair better and have 2 oil coolers) but i NEED a sunroof,can't live without one. so that means i gotta have a touring edition. so that cancels out CYM as an exterior, so does price. anyway i say a 93 touring once that had a black exterior with a red leather interior, and it looked VERY good so thats my top choice now. my question is, how many cars were made with a black ext and a red int and a 5 speed, all years included. how likely is it that i will be able to find a car like i am looking for?

 

I dunno, VR with Black interior is what I have. No sunroof for me. I think mine would've been called a Base model, back in the day.

Haha, 7wannabe you sound just like me. I'm into "pure" sports cars but still need the sunroof! I think every car me and anyone in my family has ever owned has had a sunroof, and I drive w/ mine open all the time!

As far as black w/ red interior, that combo is VERY rare from what I can tell. I don't have any numbers, but I have only seen 1 in person and mayve 3-4 ever for sale in that combo. Good luck in finding one! I personally want silver w/ red, that seems a bit more common, as it seems 1 out of every 3 or 4 silver RX7s has the red interior. If you can't find one, I guess you could buy a black/tan one and try and find a wrecked silver/red and get all the interior parts.

I've seen two black w/red int for sale in my home town at the same time. They are long gone now...

I lucked out when I got my FD. I think the Black/Red color combo is the best.

 

Mazda imported 1015 black 93 tourings, only about 250 black 94 tourings, and 150 black 94 PEPs.

Mazda dropped the red interior option halfway through 94 so assume about 1100-1200 black sunroofed cars.

They likely imported less than 100 of black/red w/sunroof.

 

I love my silver/red touring. It was hard to find though :\

 

never saw a black on red. ive seen a silver on red so i guess it must really be rare.

 

Get a PEP not touring. It glass moonroof is great and only blends in perfectly on the black cars. I am not a big fan of the sunroof.

 

I'd get a black 94 and pay around 500 or so for some brand new red leather seatcovers from www.leatherseats.com. Just my 27 cents.

The perfect combo for you would definitely be '94 BB PEP with red leather (I agree moonroof is better than sunroof ONLY in black, otherwise I think it looks funny with a black spot on the roof), there may only be less than 10 ever made in that combo though. You can always just convert a tan or black interior to a red one though. I love black/red, one of the best combos and extremely extremely rare, possibly the rarest color combination of all (any ideas on what might be rarer? White with red interior maybe, is this possible?)

 

I didnt even know that the fd came in Blk/Red, till i bought it and i hate it every day, i hate the color red, especiall in my interior. Do you know that everything is freaking red, the head liner, the bins, the visors and even the freaking seat belt. Sorry for venting. I would kill for a black on black R1 or R2. I hate sunroofs/moonroofs, thats the only thing i cant change aobut my touring. And yes Blk/Red is a very rare combo, i guess i was lucky/unlucky enough to find it. White with red is possible if you want to buy my red interior and put it in a White fd. I'm seriously looking into doing a complete black interior swap.

 

if you hate it so much why the **** did you buy it?

 

You should of got a 94 rx7will. The only thing red in the 94 and 95 years are the seats and carpet. Thats why I got a 94.

Nick

 

Very True - also Red was dropped entirely as an an option part way through the 94 model year - there were no 95s w/ red leather. I think in 93 red interiors were only offered std. on Touring models w/ Silverstone exterior, any other Color w/ Red interior would have been a special order.

rx7will - refinish all the interior red plastic pieces with some black vinyl color spray and get a set of Black seat covers from LeatherSeats.com as posted above and a Black headliner set - If your Red leather is in good shape I need to redo my drivers seat and might be interested in buying the leather off yours.

Ps I decided Not to get thse Turbos from you because I am waiting to Upgrade to 99 spec set.

 

I have had 2 Blk/Red 5spd tourings. I have one currently but I might be selling it to a friend and kepping my Blk/Blk touring. If you are interested, shoot me a PM.

 

I have a black and red rx-7. at first I didn't like it, but the colors grew on to me. however, I must agree that it is too red on the inside and I had to change my seats to a two-tone black and red and change speaker grills to black. at least the carpet is black. but I THINK the black and red was discontinued after 93 or 94 but don't quote me on it.

 

pictures!

 

Here's a pic of mine. Pretty dusty. There's been no rain here in Nebraska.

I think the Silver/red exterior and interior are beautiful. To tell you the truth I love the S2000 silver/red comb, but I rather have my rex.

 

Yeah, I think the S2000's silver on red is awesome. What would everyone think of silver on orange leather with black carpet. I've thought of maybe doing that since my leather is getting kind of worn.

Nick

 

allrotor93 i'd love to take a look at that car if you are trying to sell it. ideally i would like to find one with a blown engine so i could build it up. anyway i pass through raleigh fairly frequently. send me a PM if you get this cause obviously mine to you didn't work
