The FD RX-7 is one of the greatest sportscars of the 1990s, a technological marvel featuring an advanced sequential twin-turbocharged two-rotor Wankel engine. Its predecessor is less of a tour de force but still an interesting Porsche 944 competitor, with available turbo power. Owners of both are really going to appreciate a bevy of new parts, since Mazda focused on a long list of seemingly boring but hard-to-find parts to resurrect first: hoses, seals, sensors, and fasteners, for the most part. Stuff you can’t get at Pep Boys.
While these restoration and parts programs aren’t cheap, they’re vital for keeping classics like this on the road. Hopefully the factory parts programs might spur aftermarket suppliers to chip in and produce even more parts (and more cheaply), but that’s neither here nor there. This is good news for Japanese car enthusiasts any way you look at it.
