Man says what he hate about 3 small things about a 90s sports car makes half of the population tell him to give the car to them instead and buy a bigger car
@@erikcopeland Because there were both layouts. Most RX-7 are 2+2 but there were 2 seater versions. RX-7 FD Type RZ and Spirit R Type A. Spirit R Type A is in my opinion the best one of FDs :)
Really? How much do they go for now? I sold a special edition efini model FD3S in chaste white with red leather interior back about years ago for like 8k. It was immaculate condition. Very low KMs. They must have came up in value in recent times.
@@szef9567 Wow. Crazy how prices rise over the years. That was probably like.. 2011 maybe? At the time there wasn't even huge amount of interest. People then were reluctant because of the rotary engine.. there weren't many rotary mechanics in this area to work on them. Plus, generally in this area the rotary had a bad reputation for needing rebuilds. I was glad to own the car though. It was a wonderful car.. one of the most special cars I ever owned really. I miss it a lot. I'm trying to save up now buy myself a Mercedes. My dream car is the 450 SEL 6.9. But I don't know if I'll be able to find let alone afford one. I do have one old car in storage though. It is a Toyota AE86. The 1.6 twin-cam with limited slip diff. I maybe be able to sell it and get the money for the Mercedes. If I cannot find or afford a 450SEL 6.9 I will maybe consider a newer Mercedes with a V8. Maybe an older C63 or something. I think the AE86 make good prices now so I might be able to get some money from it to put towards the Mercedes. I never owned a V8 and always wanted one.. it's always been my dream.
For those that don’t know, the tiny rear seats in many sporty cars is because no matter how small those seats are, it means the car can legally be considered a 4 seater and will reduce the price of insurance for the owner
I had a mk2 supra and I swear those were the biggest rear seats I've ever had in a 2+2. Still couldn't fit a person comfortably but at least they weren't dug out so you could at least pretend it was where a human could go.
Quick thing about the wing, be it S6 or S8 spec, with no wing your boot automatically opens because no weight, once you have a wing, manual boot, I learnt that when I took my wing off haha
In all Jdm coupes the backseats aren’t there for people it’s there for lower insurance rates that’s why the rear seats are always dug out so you can throw stuff in the back and it won’t fly out
It's small cause it mostly had in mind the Japanese demographic. The average Japanese individuals height is quite significantly smaller than the US. It only went up on average after WW2 when the US crossed over to Japan and started to have families with the citizens. If you traveled to Japan now and you're 6 ft, you can literally see over walls. Especially on the highway sometimes from what I've heard.
In defense of the rear seats, they did make the car cheaper to buy. Yeah, they're useless and Mazda knows this, but legally, this is now a 4 seat passenger car and not a 2 seat sports car
How to fit in small cars: Step 1: (optional) be small Step 2: sit in the seat first, not putting the leg in first Step 3: slide the legs in Step 4: close door Step 5: (optional) steal the car
Agree to 1 and 3... my trunk was never an issue opening, just that it didn't want to close due to the latch being a bit rough... sadly i dont have my 93 anymore due to rough times being between jobs and had to sell it, was an amazing vehicle to drive around and get looks on. Also helped having a detachable wheel for getting in and out
Here a tip from a Life long member of “No Wang Gang”. To open the trunk with no wing just close your door quickly after pulling the latch (make sure the other door is closed too). The air inside the cabin compress slightly and will push up on the trunk.
1: The trunk would pop open a lot more with health struts. 2: The back seats were just to lower insurance costs. Mazda knew no one would fit back there.
It’s not though, you just think it is because your a copy paste of anyone who saw one scene from the show and thinks it was the coolest shit you’ve ever seen.
Yep, I expected people blasting this post. :-) 1. It's a vehicle primarily designed around the average height of the Japanese population. They are very small people. Thankfully South Americans are also sized roughly the same. So it's perfect for us. :-) 2. The hatch won't pop because your hatch struts are worn out. The hatch will automatically open if you pull the lever inside the cabin or if you use the keyhole in the back. If you're using a pry bar, all you're doing is scratching the paint. 3. JDM rules and regulations mandate 2+2 seating as standard. They do offer the storage bins as an option though. In other markets, people got the bins as standard.
Bro found 3 stupid reason to hate a car. 1. Small? You have to drift with it not going in a journey 2. Build a spoiler on it so you can lift the trunk easily 3. Why do you need 4 seats? The other 2 are the second trunk. This is a car for lonely driver
I always use my windshield wiper stalk, lol though I’ve removed the wiper, as this guy did also. And yea the models that didn’t come with the wiper, came with a wing instead. 😅
1 If you had the original seats, it would be much easier to get in. 2 There's something wrong with the trunk lid. It should pop up just enough to get your fingers under it. 3 You're lucky you have back seats, and not that it will make a difference, but it's a little dusty back there.
Get a worksbell quick release so you can get in and out easier and maybe get a wing to open the trunk? I could have sworn the trunk is supposed to pop open just a bit. So maybe something’s to be replaced?
I just bought the car so i haven’t had much time with it which is why i thought it was a good time to make a video saying things i didn’t like & things i do like about the car! Once i build it to my liking i probably won’t have anything to complain about 😅
Mine were. Interior build quality. Wiper motor set up. And the suspension set up. You can't change the ball joints in the front and the back uses bespoke hiem joints.
I used to use back seats to carry watermelon in ome seat and one bag of shopping in the other. Put the standard seat in for every day driving it will make it easier to get in and out of and install a wing for the boot issue.
Heres a tip for the back glass. Pop it and the close a the side door. Pops up. My FC does the same thing. Or a key chain bottle opener works better than that pry tool.
1) A D shaped wheel and low seat rails will give you more space 2) you can buy trunk poppers or a spoiler for the trunk issue 3) you can replace the rear seats with the storage bin option that came on some FDs
1. It's a sports car, you want a big car, go buy a Cadillac 2. Replace your struts, dude, they're like 10 bucks 3. those aren't back seats, they're insurance cheapeners. 4 seats looks a lot better to insurance companies than 2
You added a ridiculously big front seat to the already small car; use a smaller performance seat. Second, remove the back seat and make a custom fiberboard box for NOS, neon LED's, and a sound system. Third, spoiler or a pull handle.
1: that isn’t how you get into a sports car. You sit down and then swivel your feet in. 2: that problem is reasonable. 3: mazda put in rear “seats” to avoid a tax for cars with 2 seats, which made the car cheaper.
