The funny thing - but also not so nice thing - about this car was driving it first thing in the morning. Engine would be cold. Had to use choke and let it run for a couple of minutes to warm up first. Neighbors may or may not be understanding of this higher rpm run. If you live in the country, no big deal, but I lived in the 'burbs and had to get to work early in the a.m. Also, car would backfire loudly when cold. Sounded cool. Peeved the neighbors though. A funny memory now. Fun car.

@markusrx7 ... I'm thinking of buying one here in Orange County, CA... What was the fuel economy on yours? I'm a college student and I'm thinking about paying about $2700 for a nice one with under 50,000 miles on it.. What do you think?

I bought a brand new 1980 RX7 and I was only 20 years old! I was working for an aerospace company at the time. I finance the car thru the company. I loved that car!!  My car was stolen in 1986 with only 40,000 miles on it.

Re: Backfiring....Try changing the air control valve if you can find one. Right hand side of the carb. I've never had a backfire since I changed mine on the same car.

@gjc82071 Obviously at the time I posted the comment i must of been putting some serious thought to it because fucking a, any one can just lay back their if they can fit lmao..

That's like saying you can't ride in the back of a pickup truck (no seats) or even in the trunk of a car. Technically you can. (Mafia/mobsters efficiently utilized trunks, LOL) Although a Mazda has considerably less rear space than a truck, it does have some. The RX-7 was a hatch-back. You could put groceries, luggage & "stuff" in the back/quasi-trunk (or whatever the official name is). Even a 6 or 7yo little kid, which is what I was @ the time. I rode in the "back" numerous times. :-)

@gjc82071 cant ride in the back if theirs no seats in the back?
