Howdy, my name is Lane and I'm from Austin, TX.

I've owned lots of cars, just not a rotary engined one -- yet. The list of interesting cars I've owned are:

2004 Subaru WRX
2007 Mazda Miata
2001 BMW M5
1984 Porsche 911
2006 Porsche Cayenne Turbo

My daily driver is a Jetta Sportswagen TDI since it gets mileage.

So, now that is out of the way, the reason I'm looking for a FD RX-7 is because I just sold my 911 which was a full on race car and I just couldn't take driving it on the street anymore. I've always like the FD and I missed out on buying one between high school and college and now seems about the right time to perhaps take the plunge into the turbo-charged rotary world.

 

Welcome, Lane!

Good luck on your FD search.

good luck lane! it will be a good one to add onto the list :]

 

Thanks for the best wishes! Unfortunately, I found out I've grown two inches taller since I last looked at the FD RX-7 and I no longer fit in one .

 

miata is a fun car to drive lol

 

miata i bet that was fun

 

Unless you're a center in the NBA, you'll fit in an FD. There are plenty of big people on these forums both very tall and very wide. Also remember that non-sunroof models have more head clearance than those with sunroofs.

 

lol, i hope I dont run into that being too tall issue!!!

 

The miata was a fun car to drive on the track, just a little too underpowered for my taste.

I haven't been able to find an FD w/o sunroof, then on top of that I've got to be able to fit in with a helmet and I don't think a non-sunroof car is gonna give me the few inches of additional headroom. I spent a lot of time trying to make myself fit in it comfortably.

 

I'm also new here, looking for 3rd gen as well

 

I'm 6' 3" and I squeeze into my little FC vert, I can't imagen not fitting in a FD lol

 

Its a little hard! I am 6'5 and about 200 and its quite a stretch for me to get into them. Cool cars, just not meant for big people!

 

Keep it up

 

Rhd onee are easy to find, looking for a lhd one myself
