Cool One Properly Executed 400hp 1993 FD RX-7

Since I started attending the SoCal RX-7 clubs local meets for the last few months I got to know more about the RX-7 and heard about this car that my friend Ryan had.

I finally got to see it in person about two weeks ago and and I can honestly say it is by far one of the cleanest and most properly executed FD's you will ever see.

Canibeat recently did a feature on his FD and the pics below are from that shoot..

FD is the model designation of the 3rd generation RX-7 from 92-95 (like our 370Z is designated Z34). The model previous to that was FC.

Very nice indeed!
