Here's one in Oakland.

1995 Mazda RX-7 FD3s - Clean title - 96k - Compression Tested

It's true, tho, they're getting harder and harder to find around here...especially ones that haven't been molested too badly.
Nice FD and welcome to the club!

I was looking at it but I think they took out the sequential turbos and just made them tradition twin turbos which I don't want thanks though I really appreciate it!

with most FDs you're going to have to accept little quirks like this. even if the twins were modified you can find another set relatively cheap and convert it back to a sequential system, if that is what you prefer.

finding a perfect original FD is going to be nearly impossible and you will eventually just wind up with a bloody forehead. these are 20 year old cars and most owners have spiced them up with their own taste in some form or another, most of which you may not like. the nice thing is most of those modifications are just held on by nuts and bolts. if a non sequential FD shys you away, you're in for a bit of a fight looking for what you want.

When I bought mine, it was dented down one side, keyed down the other and needed an engine rebuild. It's been one helluva rewarding journey bring it back to its former glory.

Lucky for me I found the best rotary engine builder on the west coast and he gave me a screaming deal on my rebuild.
