Im more than in love with my RX7. The pure mechanics behind the RE is so innovative. Its has 50/50 weight ratio which is perfect for the track or touge. and thats what i love about this car. Its built for what i want to do with it. heck yea
September 3, 2008I love it, great price. It has great power and handling after the swap and its nice to be able to let the top down. the swap was a bit of a pain since its a JDM engine but i have a megasquirt on the way and a usdm harness finally. the forums were fairly helpful for the swap if you are preparing to do one just KNOW your rotaries first!!
July 13, 2012It's a pleasing car to the eye. Handles well, responses extremely well to the throttle, no bogging, no hics, nothing negative. Gas mileage was rather poor for a 1.3L 165 hp engine... 14-16 mpg is what I could only get. You could say it was because I stomped it a lot or my foot was the problem, yet my 85 mustang gets 13-14 with me laying on it hard every now and then. And its a V8 210 HP motor. Other than that, it was a BLAST to drive, it felt nimble, ready to take anything thrown at it. It performed, handled WELL at screaming speed/rpms. Not to mention the very smooth 7000-9500 RPM roars, compared to my 85 that shakes violently at 5-6k.

April 6, 2010Great chassis. Non turbo rotary was a great motor, just not enough power to put me in my place but enough to have fun. Hopefully the torque and power of the LS1 swap will be enough to scare me. Best convertible chassis wise ever made for the price. I hope the big V8 won't tear it apart.
April 5, 2010Mazda Rx7 FC3s 2nd generation Performance- 1.3 Liter Rotary Engine acceleration is strong and smooth due to the design of the Rotary engine. Brakes are soild and the car handles really well Overall is a well balance car If you want a start and go car the Rx7 is NOT the car for you, go get some Civic Ricer if u wanna do that. This car require you to have patience and love, If you dont got them dont get Rx7
July 7, 2009The 2nd generation RX7 is an under rated car now because of its age when compared to the flag ship model the FD3S. Both models share the same design engine only difference is age and development of these two engines/cars. The series 4 Series 4 (1986–1988) was available with a naturally aspirated 108kw and turbocharged engine 135kw The series 5 (1989–1992) was released with updated cosmetics, bigger turbine housings, higher compression ratio 9.0:1, better engine management systems and a slightly better interior styling. note: In japan the turbocharged models were released N/A models were only exported to USA, Australia etc. The RX7 is well known in the motorsport world for its superior handling and its infamous engine the 13B. Its participated in drag racing events, circuit racing and now drifting.
April 28, 2008Performance- this car has great acceleration and overall engine performance and is a blast to drive, the car brakes and handles amazing given that both areas have been upgraded. The build quality is okay but whoever built it originally did it in a hurry, the interior and exterior of the car are both not the greatest given it is a purpose built car. the cost of ownership is to be determined. This cars fun factor is amazing the car is a blast to drive and the HKS exhaust sounds sick.
July 29, 2010Bought this car on a whim. Totally beautiful car - loved driving it topdown around ATL. Quick enough, I suppose, but its not really about driving fast, more about cruising. Rotary engine limited the life of the car since they don't get past 150K very well. Average MPG, average quality, but that's not why you buy a convertible, is it?
July 24, 2008This FC I bought 2 years ago and I've loved it ever since. Been in few high speed crashes but has never let me down
January 17, 2008This is my first real sports car, and i must say it is an absolute blast to drive. Mods.... 17x8" rims, full corksport 3" exhaust, VDI (6 port) induction system wired open. Coilovers coming soon
