The FD is a RS?
RS?

you mean R2? (FD's came in 3 flavors in 93 -- Touring w/sun roof, R1 sports edition, base.. 94 - 95 only 2 editions - R2 and PEP performance equipment package -- which is another way of saying ''touring''). yes it's an R2.

List of mods on FD:

Blitz Front mount, Koyo Radiator, HKS intake, PowerFC Computer, magnaflo dual pipe exhaust, stock twins, and 39.6k on the car.

Evo has almost 7k, and is gonna be kept under warranty :-) (no mods)

Nice drive! Beautiful scenery! Did you get good gas mileage? As cool as the Evo is, the r2 makes it look more like a garage than a car... that gen. rx7 will always be one of my top 5 cars, looks-wise...

yeah, pretty much any car with "rx" in the title, rx7, wrx, crx, rx8, etc.

I think the opposite. The body design of the 90s rx7 is about as smooth and beautiful as it gets.

the wing is a 99 spec factory wing. (adjustable). 99spec means in 1999, that's when mazda updated the body of the rx7.

too bad with what they've done with the rx8... tsk tsk.
