Dear all,

These days getting so obessessed looking at mazda RX 7 FD range from series 6 to 8. Maybe its because of watchin all those inital d comic books and videos, even though most people get hooked on the hachi roku. Still the reason is u dont c too many rx 7 compared to some other cars yet.....

What are people's views?

I like silvia's. :wink:

dont mind the fd, plenty of them around as well. just a shame to see so many dropped over a set of dubs and painted a shade of the most original colour, trying to blow the hatch off with numerous bass emitting thingos, as demonstrated at the last kk's... hmmm guess you could say that about most car these days anyway.
other than that, would be nice to see a few more of them hitting up a track. maybe that has more to do with the powerplant though. :)

awesome chassis,responsive engine,interior designed for midgets.

I'd love to own one,but there's no way in hell I could ever fit into it to drive it.

I would seriously consider an FD, even after owning an FC that cost me more in maintenence in 3 years than the original purchase price.

Just need to make it track spec and you'd probably have something reasonable unique.

good suspension, nice balance.

They're similar in set up to a Silvia really, but look extra cool :)

FD's are seriously one of my all time favourite Japanese cars. I would definitely pursue the premise of buying one if funds allowed.

To those wanting one w/ an SR20, it's been done :wink:

Twin-turbo rotary right?

Enough said.

Expensive to run. But fast. Sexy. Cool.

actually if I had one I would convert it to a single turbo. I am so tempted to buy one next year but so many people have mentioned about the maintance side of things and not really sure if I want to continually keep on going back to the workshop to have it fixed time after time. Than again thats what my s13 is for.......
