Is the third time the charm? Having briefly driven 2 examples of the FD RX7 previously, let's just say I wasn't completely convinced by its driving dynamics. This time, we spent some quality time pushing Hanzhang's 1993 FD RX7 through the ideal backroads to discover if its peaky engine and handling enable it to live up to its reputation. Also a former S2000 owner, Hanzhang decided the Honda's tuning potential didn't satisfy his desires as a mechanical engineer, so he purchased this rough-around-the-edges RX7 to tinker with.
