I love my white

They are pretty rare.. next to the CYMs. I was looking for either a silver, black, red, or white. I am glad I went with the white. Even though I still really like the look of the Silver.

I used to own a perfect white 94 PEP. Took two months to find it and it was still perfect when I sold it 20k miles later. Should've never got rid of it though!!!

I don't like the white. It is my least favorite color for the fd. Not very sporty and hard to make look at shiny as a darker color. Just doesn't stand out enough.

I personally like the white 7's. Maybe it's because I have one too.. haha. I do have to admit that the rarer colors I see around here are yellow and white and then silver.

considering the fastest RX-7s are second and first gens, but they're heavily modified so I'll leave them alone
Hmmmmm, considering you could have a nice 89+ for about $3500, which is the cost of uhm, two mods on a FD. And w/ a few mods, you'd be running just as fast as you were
as for you thinking turbo II's are slow you got one hell of an attitude.

Some cars look good in some colors and not good in others.
Buy what you like.

Personally I think a white FC looks good, but a white FD sucks.

Now go out there and be a man and get what you want!

Turbo II's do have a rats nest but it isn't near as big as an FD's.

This guy just sent me a pic of my car, don't know him but it was taken right before I bought it. Weird huh?

with those few same mods, an FD is even faster. the difference between an FD and an FC both with an intake, dp, and exhaust for example is far greater than both cars compared stock.

also, wern't TII's single turbo?? so hoe could it be sequential. (i could be wrong, so dont cap on me on that one)

Hey node, man I don't think you really know what you are talking about, and if you don't like the rats nest why are you in the 3rd Gen specific section. You could never compare an FC to an FD, stock or with the same amount of mods. I think you just wish you had one so you gotta hate on the ones who do.

Node, it was so nice of you save me the trouble of showing your ignorance on this forum. Guess it just goes to show: all those posts, and you still don't know ****. Why do you mouth off so much about 3rd Gens when you don't own one? Shouldn't there be a rule about that?

BTW the FD was the first Mazda, the first RX-7, and the first car ever (I believe) with the Sequential Twin Turbocharger system.

Now, on to mods.

Three power mods to my car. Power FC $1200(which actually doesn't increase HP, only allows for other HP increasing mods), downpipe $150, and midpipe $150. Now that totals $1500.

When you subtract that from $3500, that leaves me $2000 more to spend. Ok, catback $400, upgraded fuel pump $200, cold air intake $200, and stock mount intercooler $1200. That's SEVEN mods, money well spent, and still a daily driver (not a trailered track queen). Now, you're saying you've got an FC...?

As far as attitude goes...take a look inside bud. I wouldn't normally take so much pleasure in ripping you to pieces, but you may want to refer to the first page where you brought this shitstorm on yourself. I suggest you don't dish out anything you can't take.

Anytime you want, you can bring the rag bag of **** you drive (TII, 89+, 2nd gen., what the **** ever it is, and whatever ******* color it is) and we can line 'em up, and I'll show you my taillights.

BTW...is that your dad/uncle in the background of your pic? Just curious.
