Valuation on these cars seems to be an absolute minefield. This has ultimately put a downer on my Rotary experience over the years as you\'re met with frustration in getting people to realise a truly great example...and difficulty to part with money for a such a car.

My 2009 RX8 R3 had fantastic compression, low miles, perfect ignition with new 100B coil packs yet all you\'d ever get is people punting you in the balls price wise  for your pride and joy. Finally got out of that and into arguably the best FC3C in the country again with fantastic service history, completely original to be met with huge difficulties when trying to sell.

All i would say is, pay what you are happy to part with for the best original example you can. But be absolutely prepared to fight your corner for it\'s value when you come to sell it. Car\'s from reputable folks like Newera will hold their money far better than most, but the rotary powered cars from Mazda still have this edge of mysticism and magic around them which makes them incredibly difficult to sell to anybody else but a rotary fanatic..

Back in the UK after a torrid 2013, be a good time to catch up with you all!

Mazda RX-7 FC Turbo II Convertible

Multiple Show Winning FC Turbo II Convertible

Due to an impending house purchase I am very reluctantly putting my stunning FC Convertible up for sale. Please use the following link for full details, this is my Dad\'s website and he is handling all enquiries on my behalf.

I am sure Clive, Lisa and many other MRC members can vouch for this car, it was purchased from them by my Dad before I obtained it from him, I will be very sad to see it go

Any questions please contact my Dad, Peter

Thanks, Greg

Racing Beat is worth it Garath, worth every penny I assure you. To compliment the car I wouldn\'t put a huge jap slash cut item on it.

 Seen this car in the flesh at JAE, my HIRXY and Garaths car saw numerous folks stop and talk to us. Came to say goodbye and took 50minutes to get away as people kept enquiring about the cars!

I\'ve never needed to fault for codes on an FC but I was making the fair assumption that there is a port somewhere that will provide ODB data, and at the very least some CAN data. Upon doing 2mins of research online I came up with this..

"That\'s the easiest way to run diagnostics on the FC. The S5 is simple, just ground the green one pin test connector up by the leading coil. Then turn the key to the ON position. The check engine light will illuminate and then go out. Then it begins to flash the codes. A long flash is a "10", a short flash is a "1". It will flash any stored codes and then begin to repeat itself. To clear the codes, either disconnect the negative battery cable or pull the BTN fuse. "

This is from RX7 Club and so is North American, hope it works but says S5
and our cab\'s are S5\'s. Now you just need to interpret them with workshop manual or an electronic version on the net. I\'ve got workshop manual so I\'ll do my best to help..

Not sure but I think our FC\'s are ODB1 and will still provide some basic code data when you plug in a tester. Almost any garage will have a tester, luckily I live with JREX who has a state of the art SnapOn reader

Take it to a local garage John and share the codes on here

Excellent John thought it was you, look forward to seeing them on your cab

Now sold! Hopefully new owner will enjoy these! They certainly made an impression at lat years Rotorstock

Oooooh nice one Aston! I\'m glad to see people enjoying FC Turbos, we both seem to be collecting Rotary cars

Hi John, I have listed them as generic 18inch wheels in order to broaden the scope but these links might help

Bump for these as I am the new owner of these alloys, need to go and are now listed on eBay for £450 buy it now, for rotary enthusiasts contact me on gregory.downham@gmail.com for sales outside of eBay

Bump for this brilliant oem item

The driving skill of Malcolm and Jim was very high, if you do manage to upload any footage you\'ll hear me laughing at Jim hounding a brand new 911 Turbo and spitting flames on every downshift! Brilliant, just brilliant haha! The comparison between the Turbo 2 and the RX8 was my favourite part of the day both fantastic cars in slightly different guises

Can I second that the running of the day was spot on and the company made it even better. Having our MRC/RX8OC garage was good, couldn\'t believe the mechanics that went on the 20min breaks you guys really are competent around these cars

Another highlight was the Turbo2\'s pulling out of chicane at same time giving the pit wall spectators nice blast that moment was just too cool

Stew your photography is amazing, well and truly caught the spirit of the day
