ccid: yes, all 93-95 RX-7's were sequential twin-turbo from the factory, even the automatic transmission ones.


JSJ, it's your car, keep it if you like it. Personally, I think my car looks fine without that badge, so I don't plan on buying or installing one.

Some have upgraded to a single turbo, as I have and in that case it doesn't apply. That's what I think he is talking about.

i think the badge is sweet, but i dont really like the location. that would look nice on top of your 13B UIM, and you will keep the rear end clean too.

I guess my thoughts on this was most people (non Rx7 guys/gals) have no idea whats under the hood, so with this they can get some idea.

From my experience the type of people who dont know what the car is wont go through the trouble to read the back of the car. I get asked what kind of car it is ALL the time, even though it says very plainly "MAZDA RX7" on the back of my car. I'm going to take all the emblems off and just put a single efini emblem on the back because people ask me anyways. I get the turbo question too, but I dont think that putting the badge on there would help much either because of the lazyness of the general population.

i think it looks alright, but it all up to you. if you are going to keep it, straighten it out. if not, junk the thing, or sell it on ebay - you know there is a honda owner somewhere who wants it!

i mean its kinda cool but why brag?

while it has barely a reading on the rice meter because you DO have twin turbo, its in the league with rotor shaped tail lights and rotor references in the rx8...

i think i'll make an emblem that says "dual airbags" for my car.

Maybe if the badge didn't look like it was stolen off a car built in 1985...

Don't forget one that says "3 channel ABS" while you're at it.

Don't do it!!. People with sick twisted minds may think that the emblem is referring to the Driver and the Passenger.

Ha Ha Ha,
Good sense of humor there. I may just leave it up the the psychic hotline, I have just enough credit there to make one more call.

Mmmmmm, no. I've seen you go lower.

But J.S.J, Personally I would loose the badge if it were my car. It just doesn't look right.
