SupraGirlie Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 RX7s are horrifically expensive to run. You'd be surprised. There's a reason they're so cheap nowadays. Didn't notice any difference between my last FD and my GZ BPU TT to be honest, and more went wrong with my RZ Supe than my FD... If you're talking about fuel, the twin FD does like 15- 20mpg, not far off the Supra tbh. You just need to give them a little more maintenance, i.e make sure the oil, fuel filter, spark plugs erc are changed on time. You dont even want to know what a set of OEM brake discs costs from madza Why buy OEM when you can buy uprated parts, and after market mods go for HALF the price on the Rotary forums than they do on here.... Example.. Blitz Nur Specs usually for for around £100 on MRC/FDUK, on here it's double ++ I'm sure there isn't much difference between OEM Mazda and Toyota!

Kirk Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 There is actualy... about £400 difference.. ask me how i know TBH what makes good brakes is the pads and calipers but i wouldnt call grooved or drilled discs uprated as such. They just shed a heat a little better but they all come with there downfalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 is it? I couldn't see it?! I thought that original burnout rx7 lived in aus! Bought them from a member on the fduk forum, they came off a burnout kitted rx nope it came from japan, there is maybe a copy in aus.. The burnout kitted car on fd uk is steves we got his build by ks auto in japan for him as he missed out on the original. Cool car btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraGirlie Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 So ive been told, I would to own one just cant afford it lol. If you own a TT, then like I mention in my previous post, they just need more maintenance and a few reliability mods are certainly needed for a stock FD, but if that doesn't phase you, it's one seriously fun car.. I love the Supra, but I never felt as safe at high speeds like I do in the FD's.. the handling is in another league and the drive is so different to the Sup, in a good way IMO. I know people who use an FD as a daily, I probably wouldn't tbh, but that's only cause of fuel costs And it's often the owners fault when the engine blows, not the cars..

SupraStar 3000 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 To like another car on this forum is akin to wolf whisling a girl walking down the road whilst at the same time, holding your girlfriends hand. I have to admit, I find it hard to pick a favorite between the Rx7, R34 and Supra but that rex is something else! If you put as much effort into this car as you did with the black aero supra, that rx7 is going to look phenomenal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
