PranK Posted December 16, 2024 Share Posted December 16, 2024 Its a fact. On appearances alone, the FD takes the cake. It has aged better than all the other JDM master pieces of this era and is still absolutely gorgeous. I include the 2000 model year also which is the crème de la crème of the FD. Followed closely by the R32 GTR. Convince me otherwise. ☠️ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/485994-the-fd-rx7-is-the-best-looking-90s-jdm-car/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

silviaz Posted December 16, 2024 Share Posted December 16, 2024 I think the good thing with the rx7 is that it doesn't need any mods to look good, and minimal mods like wheels and lowering makes a ton of difference. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/485994-the-fd-rx7-is-the-best-looking-90s-jdm-car/#findComment-7995787 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozdavroz Posted December 16, 2024 Share Posted December 16, 2024 Agreed. When I was looking at imports 20 years ago I noticed some FDs were about same price as R32s (IE a few grand at auction)but they weren't eligible due to whatever bullshit rules they had about parallel imports or whatever. Now all the jap boomers know what they got.... 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/485994-the-fd-rx7-is-the-best-looking-90s-jdm-car/#findComment-7995788 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought the tail of the NSX was too long. I mean....it's not a bad looking thing, but it is very bland by comparison to the things it was supposed to take down (Italian supercars), and... it sounds like a V6. And not an ALFA V6 either. A Japanese V6. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/485994-the-fd-rx7-is-the-best-looking-90s-jdm-car/#findComment-7995791 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinkstaah Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 It looks superior to any 90's JDM car. It is the king of any event, or parking lot, or track day with people that see them in person. You may not like it, but this is the absolute truth any time a NSX shows up anywhere where people's physical eyeballs are at. I've seen rows of people standing in front of R34 GTR's and FD's stop conversation and turn and look at a NSX in envy multiple times. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/485994-the-fd-rx7-is-the-best-looking-90s-jdm-car/#findComment-7995792 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dose Pipe Sutututu Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 RX7 is better for audio set ups, as you can really hide the subwoofers and also make them sound great with superpositioning strategies. Not to mention, it's a family car. You can take your kids in it (although I wouldn't). NSX is meh.

GTSBoy Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 I'd drool over a HG Kingswood before I'd drool over an NSX. FD absolutely the bets looking. R32 GTR vs A80 Supra fighting for 2nd place, although GTR looks the goods with no mods and an A80 needs at least wheels, lowering, and the right colour to look the best. GTR looks good on stock wheels and in any factory colour. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/485994-the-fd-rx7-is-the-best-looking-90s-jdm-car/#findComment-7995795 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dose Pipe Sutututu Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 Well it does have a motor with the same DNA as an Accord V6 motor. The J30A is a successor to the Tiger rice cooker C32A motor found in those cars.
