IMHO, if you were to get an FD, you need to know what you're getting yourself into. Not being rude or anything but I've worked on muscle cars myself and an FD is 10x harder and more demanding.

I didn't claim to be an FD expert. I just have a friend who owns an FD and it requires A LOT of work than your average muscle car.

You've done lots of research but you can even tell if it has a turbo in that pic or not? Geez! (Yes, its turbo)

Keep up your "wannabe tough" attitude and no one will want to help you. Oh, some punctuation is good too, try using it.

1. You should learn how to type and spell.
2. If you had done any research on fd's at all you would know that all fd's came with sequential twin turbos.

So how old are you mob? 15-16?


No need for any expert on this one, all FDs are twin-turbo, unlike other import cars that were offered in non-turbo models, ie Supra, 300ZX, 3000GT.

All 3rd gen RX-7s are FDs. The twin intakes are a give-away that its Twin-turbo.

93 - 95 RX7 = FD = twin turbo(unless converted to something else) = sweet ride

They made NA 1st and 2nd gens, but all 3rd gens have twin-turbos or single turbos if they are really lucky

And don't get the Veilside kit.....go '99 spec, FEED, RE Amemiya, Panspeed, Knightsports, or Mazdaspeed...but not Veilside

Whats up with everyone baggin on every nobbie who has questions? All you so called experienced guys shouldnt be dissin someone who is about to buy the car you all love so much. You guys act like you were born knowing everything about Rx-7s. Next time you people should just show some class and answer a guys question who is in need, instead of wasting your time being di**heads. Sorry just needed to vent a little.

It's not EVERY n00b that gets a raggin', but the ones who blatently have never picked up a dictionary or looked elsewhere for the information get their due. I saw this thread and didn't answer for those reasons alone.
