The RE Amemiya-Built RX-7 FD3S — A Rotary Legend Reimagined

May 20, 2026

There are modified cars, and then there are machines that define an era.

This Mazda RX-7 FD3S is one of them.

Built with unmistakable influence from RE Amemiya and tuned by renowned rotary specialist Jun Furukawa, this FD3S represents the raw spirit of Japanese street tuning culture — where engineering, speed, and identity merge into something unforgettable.

A True Wangan-Inspired Build

Finished with a complete RE Amemiya exterior conversion, this RX-7 captures the aggressive yet functional styling that made RE Amemiya one of the most respected names in rotary history.

The full aero package is paired with:

RE Amemiya Carbon Hood
RE Amemiya GT2 Carbon GT Wing
RE Amemiya Fender Mirrors
IPF Headlights

Every angle of the car reflects classic Japanese tuning philosophy — lightweight, purposeful, and unmistakably iconic.

Built 13B Rotary — Engineered to Perform

At the heart of the car sits the legendary 1.3L 13B-REW rotary engine, rebuilt by RE Amemiya with bridgeport specifications and upgraded internals designed to handle serious power.

Key highlights include:

RE Amemiya Super 3-Piece Apex Seals
GReddy TD07-25G Turbo
GReddy V-Mount Intercooler
GReddy Titanium Exhaust
GReddy Wastegate & Type R Blow Off Valve
GReddy Oil Cooling System
GReddy Double Layer Radiator
APEXi Power FC ECU

The result is an impressive:

550HP
65kgm Torque

The power delivery is violent yet responsive — delivering the unmistakable character only a properly built rotary can provide.

Tuned by Jun Furukawa

What makes this FD even more special is the tuning pedigree behind it.

The car was calibrated by Jun Furukawa, a respected figure in Japan’s rotary tuning scene known for extracting usable, high-performance power from 13B platforms.

Combined with the RE Amemiya-built engine setup, this RX-7 offers not just performance numbers — but authentic rotary heritage.

Driver-Focused Chassis Setup

Power alone means nothing without control.

To complement the 550HP setup, the car features a carefully selected combination of suspension, braking, and drivetrain upgrades:

TEIN Monoflex Coilovers
AutoExe Front Strut Bar
FEED Room Bar
Endless 6-Pot Front Brakes
Endless Slotted Rotors
OS Giken Twin Plate Clutch
Kaaz Full Lock LSD

The chassis setup delivers a raw and connected driving experience — exactly how a true FD should feel.

Interior — Period Correct JDM Style

Inside, the cabin stays true to the golden era of Japanese tuning culture.

The interior features:

Bride Low Max Stradia Seats
MOMO Steering Wheel
Works Bell Steering Hub
Mazdaspeed Meter Cluster
Mazdaspeed Carbon Accessories
Blitz Gauges

Rather than over-modernizing the car, the build preserves the authentic atmosphere of a true 2000s-era Japanese street machine.

A Collector-Level RX-7

Cars like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

A genuine RE Amemiya-inspired FD3S with proper mechanical work, authentic parts, and tuning history is no longer just a modified car — it is a collector-grade piece of Japanese automotive culture.

This is the type of build that defined magazines, DVDs, and highway runs during the peak of Japan’s tuning era.

And today, it remains one of the purest expressions of rotary performance.
