so i recently purchased a 93 fd with 57k miles and i'm in love!! i have driving a lot of fast sport cars and let me tell you that the rx7 is def one of the best sport car i have ever driven. i will post some pic later


ps: i love this site.

 

Welcome to the club! I hope that you continue to love your 7 like most all of us do. I will suggest that you read through all the 3rd gen faq's stickied in the top of this section (it will take a LONG while so leave some time) before asking any questions you may have. Odds are that ANY question you could EVER have is answered there, or somewhere else on the board and can be found by searching. I am sure you will have a great time on here talking about your 7 with all the other owners and we are glad to have a new member!

 

thanks dude. i have a silver on red too and i love it
i will post some pictures soon

 

Nice silver with red interior is really rare good find

 

I just got my 7 as well. I know how you feel. I havent enjoyed driving in years. What a fun car.

 

Trust me, it can become an obsession. If you're into modding, she'll be taking all of your money in no time...And even if you're not, she'll be taking your money in gas.

The rotary engine will quickly become one of your greatest love/hate relationships. :P

Good luck with everything, and enjoy the car! Mine is silverstone metallic as well.

 

Welcome to the club! Everybody loves their RX7s. I have a rocking chair in my garage just to spend quality time with my baby! Lets see some pics.

 

 

The rx8 rims look pritty good, nice car

 

nice. are those rx8 wheels?

 

sorry didnt see the above post....

 

Welcome

 

welcome and nice ride, 2 bad i'm gonna sell mine soon!!!

 

I thought the offset on RX-8 wheels was completely different from an FD?

 

Nice clean car!
what are the other "fast sports cars" that u say u have driven?

 

Nice baby, congratulations and welcome to the club!

You guys are lucky living up on the mainland and don't need to worry about stupid laws like here on Oahu, Hawaii.

We'll get a $140 ticket for no NOT mounting a front plate and dinged for other modifications (coil overs, rims 2 inch/over stock, tint etc) unless it is cleared by an expensive RECON process.

 

i had a e36 m3 turbo and a e46 m3, c5 z06(notmine) c6 z06(notmine), nsx(notmine), 800 whp transAM that is sitting in my garage

 

I've had a 98' Cobra Mustang, 87' Porsche 944 Turbo, 02' Boxster, and an 02' BMW M3. I now have a 93' RX7 and it is, by far, the best, most head-turning, sports car I have owned. Once you get one the others seem like stepping stones to your favorite...the RX7. Welcome to the sickness.

 

^^"welcome to the sickness".... now that is well put!!

That is great you found a silver on red! I have not run across many others on here, and I have never seen another one in person. You have a smooth looking car. My compliments.

WELCOME to the ROTARY world. That is one very nice looking 7. The 8 wheels look great too.

Those rims look fantastic. About the best I've seen. They really fit the car visually, unlike so many aftermarket rims I've seen.

But moconnor is right. I worry about the fit and how much unsprung weight they add to the car. That's always bad for performance.

When Mazda designed the car the engineers were very precise and worked hard to limit the weight of the wheel / tire combo. Big aftermarket rims with heavier tires can add a couple of pounds to each corner increasing the unsprung weight and the rotational inertia of each wheel. That hurts each aspect of performance, handling, braking, and acceleration. Unsprung weight hurts much more than a few extra pounds located elsewhere in the car.

Looks are great. But if it starts hurting performance, that's where I draw the line.

 

red interior might be rare, but i like mine in complete black. Nice purchase

 

Beautiful FD! You all have such big beautiful homes to go with your FD haha... jealousy! :p

 

hahah rex i do love my house its huuuuuuge!

 

and clean, the RX8 wheels are a good touch. She running OK?
