Last issue RX-7 with supposed engine swap

jvcjbl · 08-19-2006, 11:21 AM

I was going over my magazine and noticed the Picture of the red rx-7 with the supposed engine swap. It has a picture bellow showing a stock sti engine bay claiming that is the engine bay of the RX-7 close up. The problems are, 1 the RX-7 bay is red and the close up picture is of a stock silver STI. 2 the engines are entirely different on both cars, as that RX-7 has a Mazda engine still in it. What is up with this error?

You are not the only one that caught that. It was either an error in the fact checking and reporting. The FD RX-7 is in fact, just an RX-7 with a turbo 13b where it should be.

Does anyone know when to expect the next issue. I am forced to getting mine at Barnes & Noble until I get a more perminate address.

I caught that as well. To ease my mind I just assumed the picture was the Stretch Forester(I think) engine bay...
I will have to double check when I get home.
