Johnnygsr,

FC3S has NA and T versions. The problem is ROTARY engine. Not many
mechanics know how to fix. Also, rotary engine known for high fuel
consumption.

However, good thing about rotary engine is that its character is very
unique, very smooth and turbo application very smooth.

Stick with piston for daily driving and ease of fixing.

FTO owners, want to ask... what's the electronic module located behind
the plastic trim, right side, next to the rear seat? It's mounted on the
metal frame.

BTW, my customer is looking for a replacement panel for the HU (which is
broken since he bought over the car). Anyone can help?

Thanks!

drexchan,

the HU can be replaced by purchase of replacement from parts dealers.
Its still in the catalogues. 2nd hand issue can be found from spare
parts dealers or half cut shops as well.

for daily driver don;t buy the rx7. like others have mentioned..its
6km/liter machine...

however, there are 1999 rx7 and the last production was 2002. fact is,
rotary engine have less moving parts compare to piston engine there fore
less problem...the only problem are, since not many mechanic have a
knowledge on rotary and only mazda produces rotary engines for comercial
cars...makes it more expansive to fix and hard to find parts.

imho, better get other than fto or rx7...but with budget of rm60k-80k,
its dificult to get a decent sport cars...
