Im a little out of touch with the jap car scene as i haven't driven it in over 6 years. It starts on the button as it always has and runs fine so I'm thinking about throwing some money at it to bring it back to its former condition.

Oh yes. Whilst your at it tho take time to read the s3 thread and behave.
Enjoy!
Oooof that's a beauty! 3 years - shame on you!
Nice car 🙂
Thanks guys.should the rear wing go as I think they are out of date or should I keep it??
What is it?
Mazda rx7 fd3
Lovely - I'd loose the rear wing for a cleaner look IMHO
somebody's bricked-up your windows in the night 😯
on the positive side, pointing looks OK from a distance
No spoiler for me. Rx7s are such a nice shape they really don't need the spoiler.
It may be the many hours of playing Need For Sped Underground. But I like the spoiler!
I guess it will have a slightly more 'toned down' look without tho.
The Tazda, my m8's track day car a RX7 with a GM LS3 (modified) motor.

He occasionally turns up with his MTB in the back (it's a bit tight)
Always loved the RX7 shape, IMHO they just don't look right without a spoiler. Id say look at something a bit more subtle like a lip spoiler.
Awesome car. Definitely keep the spoiler!
IMHO, lose the spoiler.
It's going 50/50 at the moment which is where I'm at!! Nice one above with yank block in it.
Keep the spoiler, single turbo conversion, basque in the glory.
Lovely RX7 matey.
Keep the spoiler.
It looks so much better.
What kind of power does that car have?
Standard is around 250 but mine is a little higher with a tuned ecu bigger intercooler and lots of other mods.
It's a sled, she's a guy, he's a ghost
Beautiful motor. Wish I had the money for one. I would personally change the wing. Enjoy it as they always turn heads.
I think I'm going to remove it today and see what the smooth look looks like.
Trust me, it will look worse without.
Is it actually doing something or is it a show spoiler?
At that kind of power it's probably pushing the car down quite a bit to help with handling.
To be honest it's more show than go. The original spoiler was very low and discreet but I changed it years ago for this one as the high wing track look was very much the in thing. Now I feel its a little to showy.
i would lose that spoiler and install something a little more toned down.
Weeds in the gap between drive and path, hedge needs cutting and from the photo it looks like your porch fascia needs a lick of paint.
Keep the spoiler
I have always liked rx7s.Especially with a huge spoiler on the back!
Ive got the same sitting on my rear drive....400bhp single turbo.
Not driven it for 3 years!!!
Spoiler looks right to me, no idea if it's scene or not. It's never going to be an understated car is it?
Keep the spoiler, it's pretty subtle by the standards of a lot of mods IMHO
Nice looking car and maybe 20 years ago I'd have said keep the spoiler.
However for me now I'd say keep it if the car needs it, but otherwise something a lot more subtle would be more my cup of tea.
I prefer subdued looks but ridiculous amounts of power and grip.
If you are looking to be part of a scene or in with the owners clubs etc then the looks are probably more important.
The RX7, especially a good one, is one of the few cars that looks right with a spoiler on it. They actually look a bit awkward without one IMHO. Yours isn't exactly huge, looks purposeful and you don't have a lairy bodykit on there. I'd definitely keep it, or if you're really worried about it's looks put a subtle one on instead.
Although you have done my pet peev on modded cars, a number plate with illegal spacing. Apart from that, a lovely machine.
Ignore my previous post. Looks better with the spoiler.

The plate is my dogs name. Let the flaming begin.........
Your dog's name is CL5 AXN?
No its Saxon.as in C1 5axn. Obviously use the 5 as an S. 🙂
looks great with spoiler imho.
We just named the dog after the numberplate.
Our dog's called BCD 457Y.
Saved a fortune.
Until you sell the car.
....or will the dog come as an extra?
Well, he'll fetch the paper if you ask nicely and scratch his ears.
Not tried anything else.
Nice one Rusty 😉
Does the dog appreciate his personalised plate?
He did spend 11 hours in one of the front racing bucket bucket seats once on a drive from Scotland so he has earnt it.
Definitely ditch the spoiler and the plate and all that gubbins written on the back at the same time.
Back of my old one

Could also tint the lights and reflectors, looks better IMO.

Put another one on top ot it.
Are those green wheels?
Nice Rex.
Why haven't u driven that beautiful car for so long?
The RX-7 has aged very well, always wanted one of them after I got a shot of one and they have ****el (s****) engines...
I'd say ditch that spoiler but defo get something in its place, car looks to plain without one.
Another vote for leave spoiler.
And decal the crap out of the front wing. Spax/K&N/Haribo etc.
😉
i havent driven it as I'm now 46 and i feel a bit of a dick in it !! i have had it nearly 11 years now so I've had my fun i guess.
Just black out the windows?
Go fast and furious- get it painted in a horrible flipflop and fit some empty nos bottles that aren't connected to anything, then take it drag racing and take 4 minutes to do a quarter. The kidz'll love it.
Just sell it to me for many bargains..
My old man had a Nissan Pulsar in his mid 50's, who cares what others think, if you like the car.. Drive it.. Very fast!
Car enthusiasts will look on admiringly, those not in the know will look on blankly but who cares. Seems a shame to have it sat there doing nowt.
yes it is a shame thats why i finally got it out this wkd to get it back to being MOT ready. i found a load of car park receipts in the glovebox from 2006, must of been the last time i properly used it!
Nice car.
That wing is bloody awful though. I'm sure a wing or spoiler might look well on that motor, but not that gorram monstrosity.
Are those green wheels?
Don't be silly, who'd do something like that?
Thanks for that Jamie it has helped me a lot in figuring it out. 🙂
Keep it, comes in handy for picnics
Get it resprayed in current Williams F1 Martini livery.
How can one ever feel a dick in a Rixer???
Its probably one of very few cars that can pull off that spoiler. Keep it. And FFS Drive it! 😀
I like! Yes, drive it at max 70mph 😆
Do you need rear spoiler / wing at 70mph? 😆
I like both with or without wing.
