why do we love our fd\'s?

[Wo:Deep]

Maybe one of the most beautiful  cars ever produced!
+1

OK... honestly... driving on the street. there are many other cars which can do this alot better. But I never have a bad feeling about that. All the noises and forces from the clutch, the suspension, the exhaust, the turbo. Thats all what is fascinating me. So I never get bored sitting in it.

And about the looks...
For me it is the most beautiful car ever produced. When I come out of my house. And I see the car standing in my slip road.
There is a feeling like.
in love ... omg... its real. then I have to take a deep breath.
Maybe I´m one of the special guys. But for me it is not only the best choice for the money.
I´m really in love!

Hehe....nice storys guys. Alot of love in this thread.
 
Iv only ever owned an FD3S. Its my first car & the only type of car I like to drive. I dont under stand how all the parts of a piston work, theres to much bull **** in those things. I used to hate cars untill I moved to NZ 7 years ago.
 
In South Africa all there ever were was euro trash cars. I hate them all. When I moved here I heard and saw the FD3S for the first time. I could not belive Mazda made such awsome cars. I just had to find out what it was. I had never heard of rotary engines before. Iv always been into aircraft and always understood the workings of a jet engine but never a cars engine untill I discoverd the rotary. I love these cars so much because of there simplistic engine design.
 
(If it aint a rotor it aint a motor).
 
On a nother note I love to **** off V8 owners here in NZ. My plate is V8-TZR and they hate it. Once I raced a fully worked Ford Boss V8 that had thousand spent on it. He lives in my area and his plate is BowDwn....hahaha more like bend over and get an ass kicking. After racing him I never saw him for 3 months. Then one day as I was waiting to turn onto a main road he came passed. He recognised my FD & was still ****ed off about beeing beaten....he reved his car in an angry maner as he went passed. Thats why I love my RX7.
 
Now Im just waiting for my brothers turbonetics T61 supra to be finished so I can race that. I will post the vid when the time comes.

awesome replies guys and i can honestly agree and relate to everything thats been said!! especially the feeling you get when your in a shopping center and happen to stroll past a window, look out and see your rx7 sat there knowing its probably the only rx7 for miles around!! ive caught people stood around it taking pics and checking the whole car over lol, and as for people staring when your driving, i think the only other cars that get the same ammount of people staring has to be ferrari\'s and lambo\'s!! and i dont think theres another car that makes grown men shrink to the age of a toddler again when they see/hear it!!
 
the only KIND OF bad thing i can say is that old people HATE IT lol. too noisy and anti-social....but a dab on the throttle usually drowns out their moaning
 
cheers for the replies guys, got a really good thread forming here i think!! :cheers

i don\'t think anything can beat peoeples reaction to the answer of the infamous question
"how bigs the engine?"

lol i think thats one of my favorite questions to answer ever!
 
me and the mrs went out to our local park today for abit of a picnic and theres a sort of road that loops around inside the park for people to just have a pleasure drive around, i parked the car on this road while we went and sat on the grass and the amount of people who couldnt help but stare at it as they strolled past was unreal! and ive never really noticed til\' now but the car does still look absolutely brand new, if they were to re-release the fd im damn sure it would sell by the thousands!! it wouldnt look out of place sat in a group of brand new sports cars!!
 
what a brilliant car :burnout

It\'s the engine that does it for me, that second turbo coming in and ripping your face off through til 9k is bliss... And the rarity factor too. Can\'t wait to have her over here with me soon!

[FDAsh]

Because it makes me wee a little with excitment every time I see it.

It\'s beautiful, rapid, sounds gorgeous, effortlessly prett, timelss (There was one at the uk motorshow this year - it didn\'t look in the slightest bit out of place) and genuinely different.

:god

is that front splitter just black or carbon?

Cheap (well relatively), fast, cool, fun, unique, and most importantly slightly eccentric

:evillaugh Im realy looking forward to doing it. Heres a few details on the supra. Its a 94 auto. It dose not have any internal work done to it. The build consists of a Single turbo, manifold, Link ECU, Larger injectors & fuel pump plus reg, cam gears, FMIC, some gauges and probly a few more bits here and there.
 
I dont know much about supras but my bro says the auto ones cant take more than 350kw @ the wheels before the auto box lets go. So his goal is 350kw or 470whp. It should be tuned on the same dyno as my FD was.
 
My low boost according to that dyno is 470whp. So I will be racing him on the low setting. My car weighed in at 1165kg with a 1/4 tank. So around 1300kg with me and a full tank. Supras are around 1450-1500kg. So he will need all the torque he can get.
 
Im very exited and cant wait to see what happens.
 
I love RX7\'s

Not sure, my mate took the pic and sent it to me.

It has what I\'m guessing are Spirit R badges, did they come with carbon splitters?
