Companies that still make parts for FC3S

18 Upvotes

I have a 1988 t2 and I never really realized that there aren’t many companies still making aftermarket parts for us.

Lots of FD and even rx8 but not fc (and even less fb)

What are your go to companies?

(I’m looking for headlights, coolant reservoir, and an engine bay cover panel atm.)

FC V-mount setup

13 Upvotes

Hey guys. Im planning on doing an V mount setup in my FC turbo series 5.

I have scanned the car to get a prototype in mi pc via 3d printing mounts, but i dont know what would be the best. I have planned 3 different options, if you have any other just tell me.

I wouldnt want to get rid off the crossmember, i think it has a crucial rigidity function.

Big one: Water radiator

Medium one: Intercooler

Small one: Oil cooler

Any advice is welcome!

(Srry my english)

Planning a Canada/USA road trip in a 40-year-old RX-7. Bad idea?

7 Upvotes

I'm seriously contemplating doing a road trip across Canada and the US in a carbureted FB RX-7. Maybe I'm crazy, but I've always loved the idea of camping out of an old RX-7, exploring new places and putting some serious miles on it.

I'm curious if anyone here has actually done something similar. How did the car hold up over long distances, and am I completely insane for considering it?

I'm also debating whether a naturally aspirated rotary would be a better choice for reliability and simplicity compared to a turbo FC.

Lastly, for anyone who's driven an older rotary through Canadian winters, how do they handle cold starts and snow? Anything in particular I should be aware of?

Would love to hear some real-world experiences before I commit to the idea!

After market ecu for a stock engine?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I've just rebuilt my FD engine with the sequential turbos totally stock. Even kept the 3m of emissions vacuum hose. But is there an after market ecu or changes to the stock one to improve performance without a heap of changes in the engine bay?

I've looked up options on YouTube and there's plenty of products where the driver has completely changed everything. But i just want to leave the engine bay as stock as possible.

Bad news on my 86 fc

I got some tires and insured it for 2 days so I could finally get it on the road a bit. Brakes worked OK enough so i went to go pick up a buddy, died mid intersection and cranked but wouldnt start. When i was able to push it to the side the dipstick was empty and I put 2 quarts in to get it back to full. The front most lead and trail spark plugs have a weak yellow spark and I am getting good fuel pressure. What are the next steps? OMP? Injectors?

Where to buy?

So, genuine question: where did most of you buy your car? I have been looking for a while, and I cannot find any good sites for anything, for that matter.

I made a 12-minute documentary on the RX-7, from the 1967 Cosmo to Han's $1.2M VeilSide FD

I tried to tell the whole story in one place: the Wankel license Mazda gambled on, the devil's claw marks, the Savanna that ended the Skyline GT-R streak, the SA22C, the FC, the 787B at Le Mans, the FD and the Spirit R, and the Iconic SP.

Full disclosure: it's my own channel and the narration is an AI voice (English isn't my first language). The rotary diagram is my own animation; all photos are from Wikimedia Commons, credited in the description.

I double-checked what I could (471,018 first-gen cars, ~1,500 Spirit Rs, the Bonhams sale at Goodwood), but you know these cars better than I do, so if something's wrong, tell me and I'll pin the correction.

FC or FD?

Update: Still working on a better way to document RX-7 builds

Thumbnail
gallery
26 Upvotes

Hey RX-7 owners,

I shared this project here eight months ago, and I wanted to say thank you to everyone who supported PinkSlips early on. You guys took the time to check it out and leave some really useful feedback. <3

We're still working on it every day and have added a lot since then. One of the suggestions here was being able to tag parts directly in photos. You can do that now, alongside keeping your mods, exact specs and build history together on one page.

There are already 40+ RX-7s on PinkSlips, with 2,600+ builds across the platform.

Here are the three FDs in the screenshots:

  • Johnson M's 1994 RX-7: a track car with a six-point cage and Samsonas six-speed dogbox. It still has working power windows, and he sometimes drives it to the track.
  • 51NTH: Qu4rkz's 1999 FD, owned since July 2024. The goal is OEM+, with custom hard fuel lines and new genuine Mazda parts while keeping the factory appearance.
  • Garage777's 1994 RX-7: started as a stock, 60k-mile LHD car. Now a single-turbo street build with a Ford rear end, Haltech ECU and working A/C.

If you're just starting your RX-7, you can also look through other owners' pages to see how they built theirs, what parts they used and how their setup has changed.

And if you have your own RX-7, whether it’s stock or an ongoing project, it's free to make a build page and try it out. The app is on iOS and Android too.

What do you always end up asking another RX-7 owner about their setup?

Garrett G35-900 Gen I vs G35-990 Gen II — half-bridge FD RX-7

2 Upvotes

Trying to decide between these two for my half-bridge FD RX-7, using a 1.06 A/R twin-scroll setup.

I’ve been advised the Gen I might actually suit it better.

Anyone here running either on a similar setup? Interested to hear how you find the spool and general drivability, and whether the Gen II is worth going for.

Cheers!

FD starts to overheat. Temp gage creeping up. Turned car off, started it again, proceeded to drive and car runs fine. Temp gage in the middle. Thoughts??
