Just bought an FD!

[Brighton-Rex]

Hi people, just bought myself a 1992 Mazda RX7 Type R and thought i would post a couple of pics and introduce myself.

This is my first rotary and before this was quite into my french hatches.

I have always loved these cars and decided recently that it the right time to take the plunge and finally get one!

It is pretty much completely standard and has a fresh rebuild from Jimmy\'s so don\'t intend to change too much (Famous last words i\'m sure) just want to tidy it up and maybe make some minor mods to help with track days etc.

I will try to get along to a few events this year and look forward to meeting some of you in person

Welcome to the club and to the wonderful world of rotaries.
Nice clean looking standard car you got there.
There\'s a few guys in your area to keep an eye out on things on here and i\'m sure you\'ll be able to meet up with others

[Brighton-Rex]

Love it!!! Can\'t stop looking at it

Can\'t wait till the engine rebuild is bedded in so i can see what the car can really do lol

its an addiction.....before you know it you will be buying all sorts of bits for it.
it\'s good to see a stock one.
theres a silver uk one that sits by the old pier at brighton with an rx7 number plate on it.....dont know if you have seen that?

[Brighton-Rex]

Not seen that one, only one around i have noticed is a white one sometimes near lancing/worthing.

There seem to be so few about, most of my mates/family have never even seen one before!

i live in bognor and some old grandad asked me if it was some kind of kit car lol :2Rolleyes

Welcome to the club :Thumbs-up. I commute in and out of Brighton all the time in my red FD, but I work awful shifts so you\'dve been more likely to hear it than see it unless you\'re usually out in the small hours! Yours looks like a lovely example, like the guys say, rare to find one that standard.

Well, your in for a nice surprise then mate. This will eat any of your french hot hatches, where they run out of steam at 80, this is just getting started, especially in 3rd gear as it\'s looooooooooooooong. I remember when i first got mine, it was standard like yours and my mate had a tuned 309goodwood pushing about 170bhp or so. I absolutely blew him away going up a long straight road it was laughable, like he wasn\'t even trying. 1 year later he bought a single turbo fc

Welcome to the club mate, nice car you have there…but it will not stay standard for long, same happened to mine, started fairly standard â€" now still twin turbo but with all the supporting mods and producing 350BHP

Enjoy the car

Yep, that\'s my car.



Not parking at the Pier any more as the platform is falling down and we are not allowed to park there.

Good luck with your car and welcome to the club.  :3gears-lh
