Mazda RX7 FD

Step Drift : Mazda RX7 FD


Make/ Model: Mazda RX7 FDEngine:13b twin rotor, twin sequential turbo. BHP From 255 - 280 depending on model.Standard Differential:Torsen.





Good:
* Revvy.
* Responsive.
* Lots of adjustability suspension wise (toe, camber, caster etc can all have a much better adjustable range to play with than most other potential drift cars).
* Relatively simple to tune, as long as the ECU is changed to something mapable.
* 350BHP is relatively easy without changing turbos or opening the engine but would need everything else in place to support it (IC, map, fuel system etc)

Bad:
* With trim you can only transport 2 wheels in the vehicle. Slightly more when stripped, but 4 would still be a push when retaining both front seats.
* Poor handbrake.
* Very Bad MPG, especially when tuned for more power.
* Stock sequential twin turbos have a messy transition, Non sequential rebuild or single turbo is prefered.
* Lack of steering angle, but aftermarket parts available to combat this.
