Understand that FD stands for financial disaster. Which series do you plan on buying?

all the rumors you heard and read about when it comes to FD's being tempermental and maintenance-demanding are correct.

FD = ******* Disaster****

Lol, good luck man. Same goes for any other car. Smoke at start up, smoking while running, color of it? Mileage? 13B-REW's, so I've read/heard really could use a rebuild and new turbos at around 100k. They are the most unreliable of the rotary motors, as well.

More information can be found here in the FAQ's and by searching, bruh. Read up!!

There's TONS of **** on this site. It's like a ******* encyclopedia for RX-7's, I **** you not. Most everything has been asked already. Get your hands on a Factory Service Manual, too.
