Best Car ever!

[EB-92]

Wowww. just bought my first ever Jap car.
A 91 Mazda RX7.

Holy ****, I've been converted!
I mean, it actually handles!
AND doesn't break down...
I think someone better kick me out of here. I'm about to join the Mazda brigade!

Sounds like its ticking all the boxes for you, how long have you owned it?

[GASWAGON]

RX7! They're known to be pretty heavy on fuel u know?

[Falcon Coupe]

Don't forget to add some oil to each tank of fuel ;)

[nuthin' fancy]

Braaaap

Braaaap

had no experience with rotarys, but a workmate told me the rx7 rotarys like to be warmed up , he gave his son his own rx7 that he had owned for years in good condition, and the young bloke was told to warm it up a bit in the mornings before driving off.

my workmate was pretty annoyed a couple of weeks later it was blowing oil smoke, dunno if it was coincidence, but i have heard that said about rotarys from others too.

[nstg8a]

Mate of mine used to warm his pp rx2 up every morning at 4:30am for 15 minutes, until a neighbour threw a brick through his window.

Can't say I blame the neighbour. The sound of a rotor is a love it or hate it noise. And at 4:30 in the am, I'm firmly in the hate category. Any other time I love them.

So 92? Is that an fd? Best looking Japanese car every. Still looks modern today.

[CoupeKing]

There's a reason why the Germans hand-passed it to the Japs.

[HULK_I6T]

Would be a nice car but best ever? Depends what your used to?

[MITCHAY]

Nothing wrong with Jap. Until I actually spent coin on my own car I was very much pro V8. In the end I bought a WRX Funnily enough now I really want a Aussie V8 not that it is a bad car I just want a different experience

From what I understand the rotors love fuel and oil but if you don't have to worry about it then who cares. I hope Mazda get on the same level with the GT-R and now the NSX and bring a modern day RX7 to the table.

[Brazen]

One of the best looking modern cars ever made were the series 6 RX7s, so don't mind the Mazdas. I prefer a V8 much more usable power.

Umm, you've just bought and it doesn't break down.

Can we assume that all your previous cars have broken down a few days after you've bought them ?

[jpblue1000]

he comes from a 92 EB!

Once upon a time I thought you were cool man

[razbarb]

I had an rx3 twenty six years ago!
By modern standards, it wouldn't compare. But in the day, it was fantastic fun and wouldn't handle half as well as your rx7.
I warmed mine up every time I drove it. It never had a radio in it in the time I owned it.

I think that says it all about wan..er, er ****el engines

If there's a family medical emergency don't forget to call the ambulance, it'll get you to hospital quicker.

[blackf6]

Make sure your neighbours don't kill you, the car, your dog and your whole family.

[DrDamage]

Was the competition for this car, in it's day the Nissan Skyline GTR?..

[Harrison]

You can get kits in the States to put LS motors in them.


Now that would be really cool.

[BPXR6T]

I went from a fast taxi to a true sports cars too a few years back. Awesome! It does everything better than the ford but haul a caravan and family around. I have neither. Don't get me wrong, love my falcons. I have sheds full of them. But a falcon can never give the same kind of thrills.

[blackf6]

Get a nice quiet muffler, carry a baseball bat. Only start after 9am and not after 6pm. You might survive.

Suzuki built the RE5..it was a sales failure but a brilliant bike..ahead of its time..

I had an RX3 12a stage 2 for only a month, I started a job where I needed to leave home at 5:30am. I got rid of it before the brick came.

FD RX7 with the Twin turbo should be fairly quiet though.

[Vesper Martini]

Handling in the FD was regarded as world-class, and it is still regarded as being one of the finest handling and the best balanced cars of all time.

[Sprint]

The ****le engine is a amazing bit of engineering when only 100 year old piston engines are out there.

Less moving parts, I have a escort with a rotary or well im re-building it now.

[FPV0137]

Rotary motors... In goes boost, out comes apex seal.
I would say good luck, but coming from an eb you're probably living the dream lol
