SWEET!

They do look similar in some ways, when you see them next to each other.

I won't comment on the spoiler.... oops I just did.

At least it's a real Mazdaspeed spoiler... and not an APC bookshelf one...;)

The FD says to the RX-8: Welcome home my lil brother.

Those pics look great.

Hehe. Hey, that adds 40RWHP you know;)

damn....that's a clean 7...

the spoiler is at least functional in this application. If you were driving a FWD car, then I'd make fun of you... :D

Now I want black again!!!

Those cars were gleaming!!!

Very nice pics.:)

Very nice 7 as well.

love the fd3s! I think it looks bad ass, better than the rx8, but is it turbo?

Thanks guys....

but is what turbo?

Best comparison shots I've seen, nice work. The 7 looks amazing, I'd hold onto that car.

I'm taking the RX-8 into consideration, since I now have 4 month old kids... it would be great to see them in a year or two hop in and out of the back seats...

I'm trying to make a compromise... sell the 7 and get the 8... but I need to go for another test drive. The first test drive was with a salesperson that was over 300lbs. Just imagine taking the test drive.. Being the 8 has lower TQ/HP that extra weight did not help and I don't expect to have the weight anytime in my 8 if I decide to purchase one. The sales person squeezed in and immediately reached for the A/C button... plus he wanted me to take off right away out of the lot... hmmm I replied with a no way.. i need to warm it up, I guess it's habit..

So I drive it slow around the around playing w/ the cool switches and what not then see an exit ramp... i take it with some power and damn.. the sales guy is almost forming around the center shifter console... errr.. and the car just did not feel that great in the turn...

I started to take it on the straights... turn off the A/C and took it a little past 9K... felt ok... but I know if I was the only driver, it would of pulled sooo much better...

After all that hassle, the sales person says that he'd do me a favor and ONLY mark it up $5000.00!!!!!!! That's over $40,000.00 before the interest for a touring!!! sheeeesh
I laughed and left...

btw... this was at Rockland Auto Plaza in Nanuet NY...

That's a hilarious story! LOL

I hope you aren't asking about the FD, they were all twin turbo'd.

Beautiful cars....... I really admire your 7 I'd buy it off u if I hadn't already bought an 8 and wasn't afraid of killing myself. It might also be out of pity ur 7 looks like a sad puppy next to the 8 kind of like "sure toss me to the curb after all I've done for u". But then again what do I no I think the 8 has a face on it. Once again amazing cars im glad I went with black. :)

drop the rx8 and get it a turbo and ill look as good as your fd in that pic,and for the guy who asked if the rx7 had a turbo,thats why it has intercooler, intercooler=turbo

Very nice 7 as well.

ditto!
In most ways ... I love the style and shape of the last gen 7 over the RX-8, but I need the use of the back seat for my 2 children's car seats ...

:p

That's exactly why I'm taking interest in the 8... :D


but in any case... it's hard to really compared a modded 7 and a stock 8...

I'm sure if I took a modded 8 and stock 7, the results would be very different...:)

Wow.. your 7 is tight. Is that the stock paint or repainted?

Reason I ask is that it looks brand new, just as shiny as the RX-8. Tell me, do you use Zaino hehehe

wow thats a clean car man...how do you do it!?

gorgeous cars dude

im sure with your style, if you choose to mod the 8, itll look even nicer

Are you talking about the RX-7 from Haverstraw??

I was talking about the Titanium Gray fully loaded Touring that was 36,000 MSRP + the markup of 5,000.

haha the rx8 looks like its gonna rape the rx7, nice photochop man, thanks:D

nice chop m0j0...

I like how you even added the sparco seats in the back...

Very nice! I was going to say comparing the modded FD(FMIC, 99-spec nose, hood, etc.) is a bit unfair.
:)

back from the dead... too bad i'm selling my 7..:(

The 7 in the picture was kept very well isn't it?

Nice pictures. I love my 94 Rx-7 which I have owned for 2 years so far, but In most cases I prefer my Rx-8...

there are times though when the FD really shines...It takes me to a place the RX-8 wants to be but just cant make it...then the FD breaks.

Im selling my -7- too. Anyone want to buy it? haha.

If I could have kept my FD I would have. But I can't afford them both. I loved my FD but it cost alot of money to keep in good shape. I wasn't about to let it go to waste so I sold it.

hey, jay is going to be hard selling your car . it took me 5 month too sell my. everybody is going to say i wanted but nobody got the money .you know what i mean " rockand".

LOL.. where are you from?

I was going to post for sale in here, but I saw a post where someone else tried to sell his FD and it was closed or deleted since it was an RX-7... why.. no clue.. oh well I don't expect any 8 owners to be interested anyway...

haverstraw . put at www.nopistons.com it will sell there .the RX-7 from Haverstraw
