I think I saw one with it once. Anybody got any details, I'm thinking of doing the same if the install isn't insainly difficult which I'm sure it is.

there's a thread on here about one, it's an FD, I believe a member bought it on ebay.

can't remember the name of the thread though, something just bought an RX-7, give opinions.

oh yeah, how the hell do you deal with Dekalb county drivers?:D

Ah hell man, they ain't too bad. I'm selling my car tomorrow in Knoxville. I just found an Rx-7 in Nashville for 7K, but it consumes a quart of oil every 150 miles. However, I also just found a 5spd 95' 240sx and a auto 97' 240sx both in GA. I've got my car sold for 12k and both these kids want around 4 for their car. Can you say "DO IT AGAIN" Me very very anxious. What do you think?

I know, but the things I'm reading about the 3rd gen rx-7's is scaring the hell outta me. They seem like they are really really troublesome

it's that overheating thing...

seems to be their main problem.

I personally like the FC's better, but I like a good bit of 80's cars.

The thing w/fd's, is the twins. i don't think mazda perfected the setup and they just keep eating apex seals. I'm sure a single would be better suited like the fcs. I would think so because the engine itself did not change much from the fc to the fd, but I know maintanance did.
