Mazda RX-7 FD Review.
The boys at N-Tune are a pretty lazy bunch of people, so while the other's where having “nap time” I went out for a drive in my test TTL vehicle, A Black RX-7 FD. I glossed over the car briefly, running my hand across the large rear wing. I was excited to say the least, this was not my first go in a rotor but the note left on the window inspired interest in me, “Get ready to go sideways. Ain't nothing like an RX-7 to inspire excitement into a JDM lover. AS i glossed over it I was reminded of the Iconic scene from Tokyo Drift, where Han drifts around the Skyline in order to impress the girls in their car and get their phone numbers. I hoped in, dropped the clutch and steamed towards the road they called Trial Mountain. The power was good, 348 BHP from the turbo charged 13B engine had the RX-7 charging up the mountains with ease. The roar for the exhaust is just memorizing, and the speed is fantastic, 0-100 kph (62mph) in around 4 seconds. Wheel spin is present as in most high powered cars at this level, but it is very controllable coming of the line.
This car make not pretence to what it is, it ain't no race car for the moment you hit the first corner you know that it's a drifter. This car requires no tricks, no training, no real skill to get it sideways, it's willing and able to get its tail out. Unfortunately, This is only half the battle, This car will go sideways, but it will only take you half way, you need to finish the job, your the one that controls it. The torque/power spread is even, Slide into a corner nearing the red and it will slide through the corner with easy, you don't need to work the gearbox on Trail Mountain, the engine looks at the task and takes it in it's stride, but has one weakness. Enter a corner at race speed, the back losses traction, You mash the foot to the floor and well, you do a 360. As I said, the car will meet you half way, it takes you to the corner, throws in back out, but YOU are the one to keep it there.
It was getting dark so I decided to head back to N-Tune, I parked it outside knowing that TTL would be taking it back tomorrow but if all goes well, I'll come by and buy one because not many people make drifters like TTL does.
Pro's
-Nice Power
-Well thought out suspension
-Excellent corner entry
Con's
-High Power at the top end, WILL result in lesser drives facing the wrong direction.
Apologies but I can't really give any feedback in terms of Suspension settings, I tune for grip not for drift, thats where your car's come in.
