My First Rx7 FD - Scotland
Alright ladies n gents! I'm new to the Mazda scene.

I've went for a RX7 Type Rz in black 24k on the clock, fully standard apart from a exhaust, no rust no corrosion at all! iv attached a few pictures of the car for you to have a look at!
This is my new project, I got my s14a to 450bhp and was happy now I'm onto my new toy

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, allot of other forums didn't even bother replying to my thread bit disappointing!
ant_wailes I spent over the odds getting this rx7 just under £7000. BUT it has zero rust, no corrosion, and iv just had it fully undersealed!
Im looking to make this my project car, hoping for 400bhp area same as i had on my s14a but obviously this cars much lighter! so might not need as much!
whats the standard kind of build for a rotary engine? id normally run with a Power Fc + Commander Unit, Injectors, Intercooler kit V-mount... can you get better seals? any advice on making this power would be great. I'm not looking for a instant build id like to do it over a period of time!

Hi lad. Im not long after joining either, and from N. Ireland. I see you also came from a s14a. Fools seldom differ? ha. Anyways, yours looks the part, and I see you were lucky enough to get the rear storage bins instead of a back seat. Any chance you could fire up couple close up pics of the storage bins from the front seat, as Ive pulled my rear seat out and want to make up some bins of my own, but not sure what the originals look like, or more to the point, Im not sure what the rear panel looks like directly behind the bins. Cheers in advance for any pics

DAMN THATS CLEAN!!!!
Nice find.....
It doesnt take much to make these things go fast. Im at the 380whp mark with a small single and more fuel. There's really no need to crack open the motor just yet. When its time..... the car will tell you..... lol

Its amazing how over here we envy the Rear seats.... but over there u guys like the bins...
The grass is always greener.
Here's a build thread from my friend.... it Has a lot of detail pic's of the bins and i thought might help.

Yeah I was thinking that my self due to light weight etc. Im kind of hoping theres no engine issues! very good compression numbers
Front rotor: 7.1 / 7.2 / 7.1 @250RPM
Rear rotor. 7.2 / 7.1 / 7.0 @250RPM
from what im lead to beleive this shows a very solid engine!

Cheers sinned. Thats another style to get me thinking up some ideas for the weekend.
@Rosco. Cheers lad. Aye my 14 cost me a few quid over the 3 years I had her. To be honest sort of miss her, but she finally bent a valve after one trackday too many...... Oops.
