Anyone looking for a good example of an import car build need look no further, for this Mazda ticks all of the boxes, as it has style, design and it just looks cool, as a build should do. However, you can still tell that this is Mazda RX 7 and a good one at that.
Being finished in a dark colour helps as it shows off the shape and fine details of the model, in fact this car has the look of different cars depending on which angle you are looking at it from. That is a great thing about it, as you have to do a double take on it to make sure you are right about the make and model.
Cars such as this one demonstrate what the owner knows about the business, in this it is Chase McGehee, he understands what the car is all about and what can be done to make it better. Most people would think that the RX 7 was brilliant on its own.
This is third generation of the car, it uses the 1.3 litre engine with a choice either a four speed auto or the five speed manual gearbox. It produces 252 HP to 276 HP, but there are examples of the car where power has been tweaked up to 300 HP which spectacular for a car of this size and weight.

Product Description for the RX7 Turbo (TD06SH) Greddy GRY-11540011 Turbo Kit:
(Turbo – TD06SH-20G – Cast manif Type R W/G) Built for the (89-92) Mazda FC RX7… Vehicles that are already equipped with factory turbochargers have engines with large potential for power that cannot be fully obtained by using the original turbocharger(s). Big gains can be found by upgrading the exhaust, intake, blow-off valve and intercooler and adding more fuel and boost, also replacing the stock turbocharger with a properly sized GReddy turbo upgrade kit you can experience new levels of power. Kits are available for most popular Japanese turbo vehicles, and for many, we offer a selection of kits with various sizes of turbos from mild upgrades to full-on race ready kits. Depending on application, kits will either bolt onto factory manifolds with integral waste gates or use hand-made SUS manifolds with external waste gates.
