History File
Featured here is a 1992 Mazda RX-7 FD3S, finished in Pearl White with a Black interior – originally sold for the Japanese market. The car was imported to Hong Kong directly from Japan in 2013. After that, it went through 5 previous ownerships until the current owner acquired it in December last year. This RX-7 has received a few modifications which include an Öhlins DFV suspension kit, aftermarket 18” ADVAN Racing wheels paired with a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres, RE-Amemiya exhaust muffler and side mirrors, and a larger intercooler. The car was resprayed from its factory White to the current Pearl White by its previous owner. This RX-7 has a current mileage of 49,785km showing on the odometer. The road license is valid until 8th December 2023.
Exterior
Upon visual inspection, we were pleased to find that the exterior of this RX-7 was meticulously looked after within the past 10 years in Hong Kong – the Pearl White paint finish is just like new with no scratches, dents, or imperfections to report of. The body panels reflect normal amounts of light with no major surface blemishes noted. The front & rear bumpers, lower front lip, side skirts, as well as the rear “Mazdaspeed” spoiler is fully intact. All exterior lights – especially the iconic pop-up headlights at the front all function and illuminate properly, the front headlights raise/retract without any issues. Both side doors, the front bonnet, and rear hatch lid all open and close normally. The side door handles, and door mirrors are fully intact. The ‘Efini’ and ‘RX-7’ exterior badges are in excellent condition. All the window rubber trims have no signs of corrosion or have faded. All four aftermarket 18” ADVAN Racing wheels are in excellent condition with no kerb rash.
Interior and Trim
Both front bucket seats are firm and supportive of the occupants, with neither seat displaying any major tears or wear. The original RX-7 Efini three-spoke steering wheel and handbrake lever are all in great condition. All sections of the plastic dashboard are in good condition with no signs of surface cracking. The Pioneer touchscreen audio head unit and all the air conditioning buttons operate normally. Both side door panels are free of any major surface scratches – some subtle surface marks were observed on both side ‘RX-7’ lower scuff plates, displaying signs of use over time. All the cabin buttons and switchgear show no major surface wear and operate without issues. The instrument cluster illuminates normally, with its LCD display and dials all functioning as normal.
Engine and Running Gear
Turn the key and the RX-7’s signature piece, the single-turbocharged 13B-REW Wankel Rotary engine comes to life – amplified thanks to the RE-Amemiya exhaust muffler. The turbocharger spools boost healthily at peak throttle. The 5-speed manual transmission is sharp and precise with each gear change. The Öhlins DFV suspension allow this RX-7’s sports car characteristics to shine even more. The brakes provide plenty of stopping power to bring this Mazda to a halt. This RX-7 FD3S is an good example of Mazda’s famed sports car in the 90s and will be desirable to any Mazda or JDM fan – now available at the Car Farm.
