Stunning car OP!

Not too keen on the colour, but it does stand out!

Welcome to the club! I can only imagine 420hp with the twins, that is a huge increase over my stock one. Got any motor pics?

Thanks , yes it goes quite well.

Yep here's a photo

Very nice!

[Christmassss]

Nice!

Are they genuine MS01's?

Are the twins still running sequentially or have they been converted to non sequential?

[e21Mark]

Very nice. I imagine that's good fun!

[Daston]

Looks good chap,

What boost is it running at that power level? I am running a Blitz intercooler and K&N filters with mid pipe but my sparky bits failed me on my mapping. Currently running 330bhp @ 0.6 bar until I get the Twin Power fitted and new HT leads.

An RX7 is on my must-own list one day... Thats lovely - great colour as well!

Its runs 1 bar boost. J mapped it, i think it could do with another tweak as more it's done about 1k miles since then (2k on engine in total) and it seems to be getting richer. Not sure the twins will take much more mind. Been looking at upgrades for them but not cheap, and don't really want to go single.

They are non sequential now

And no don't think they are ms01's they say feed on them..
But do look very similar.

What ECU are you running?

I've known a few run 400ish on the stock twins, but they don't tend to last too long.

How did it behave on the dyno temps wise?

[HybridAero]

That's just unbelievable, so exotic! What's the power delivery like?

[RallyeMike]

Quick run out with a friend in his newly purchased rx7 running a single turbo.



Decided I need to upgrade my brakes after the pedal going quite quickly. Small brake over haul to come along with some new coilovers.

One of my biggest regrets is leaving Mazda UK jut before they released the FD. I used to look after their press fleet so got to pick and choose from the range, as to what car I ran for myself. That said, I used to drive FB's at the time and had a really early 13'' wheel car, in metallic green. It's one of those cars I wish I still had today.

[RallyeMike]

Went for a nice drive today, new brakes are great still!

Car running great too.

Looks great, really like the Initial D look

I'd guess it prefers dry tarmac for putting down the 400hp, right ? ;-)

[Mr E]

One of my greatest automotive regrets is that I bottled buying an FD3

Beautiful FD. Bucket list car for me.
