New 2000 FD Owner Japan
I got my first FD......after so many years of wanting one.
I am in the military and stationed in Japan......and hoping I can take it with me when I leave.........but its not looking too promising! It has quite a few mods on it, which I wish it was all stock.....but oh well. 2000 Mazda RX7 RB S Package, Innocent Blue. I just want to replace the lip on it, the headlights to a non mototized type, and the muffler back to OEM type. I welcome any all all suggestions. |
Nice. Wangan.
|
nice. one day ill have one
|
too many laws in california to get a series 8 rx7...canada gets luck with 15 yr law while america gets the 25 yr law =x
|
man if i join the military i want to be stationed in japan !!!
|
MMMM Innocent blue! "Drool" Please post up some pics to feed my need for the best color to come on these cars.
|
Cool! I'd love to see it! We should have a meet at Daikoku Futo sometimes! I own a 1992 FD type S.
|

My guess is the previous took off his premium rims and put these on to sell this car. |

NOOOOOOO OKI man i hate this place whoever said they wanted to be stationed here has no idea Okinawa is the best place to start a drinking problem for us marines hahaha but thats a really nice buy its crazy how cheap the fd is in japan its a shame TMO gives u such a hard time shipping a car but good luck i really hope u can |

I recently had a rear engine/transmission seal leak fixed.........almost $1000..........
Still leaks. Here is a list of problems: 1. Leak (described above) 2. Hesitates....stumbles 90% of the time while trying to HARD accelerate. (So is is electrical.....vacuum......Turbo???) Some times.........if the turn the car off..........then back on.........the car will accelerate and boost like a beast....... But........if I turn it off........and back on.........it stops at 0 on the boost gauge.....and stumbles/hesitates badly......so I have to back off the acceleration and slowly accelerate.....but still stops caps off at 0. I started changing hoses throughout engine.........but I really believe its electrical. Maybe a sensor.....or some pump resetting each time the vehicle is shut off and turned on. Anybody have a similar problem? I am seriously hoping I don't have to replace the engines and turbos. |
You're so lucky to have a 99+ J-spec rx7! It's not even yet legal here in Canada

But a big issue with the twin system can be the solenoids- vaccum routing. Best is to check all the hoses and clamps, then go to solenoids. |
im sure theyres a way to get the car to the states! hmm..
|
Hello there man nice that you got one did you get it to the state?
|
I have written DOT and I am asking them for a Exemption. If that does not work.....looks like 2 ways to bring this back.
1. Show / Display. I will buy another RX7.....the Spirit R. There was only 500 of the 3 Spirit Rs made, for a total of 1500. 500 or less makes it rare or limited according to NHSTA. 2. Take the engine and transmission out of my 2000 RX7.......ship only the car as a parts vehicle. Maybe buy American engine and transmission. What do you all think? |
