Given the increasing number of RHD FD showing up in the US, plus the large community of RHD in Canada, the intention of this thread is to provide a forum for members to post pictures of their unique RHD FD.
Pics from RHD around the world are also welcome.
Lets see what is out there!
I have had my car since April 2015, but it was imported to Canada in July, 2014., by Tyee on Vancouver Island. It was an auction car out of Nagoya. It has original paint, Highlight Silver. It is a 1999, Type RB, Special Package. (JDM Version 5, "Series 8") It is on its third engine since landing in Canada, with the most recent having been built by Force Fed of Abbotsford , B.C. It has a basic "reliability mod' configuration and is tuned to 262hp at 7 psi (aka grandpa spec). Otherwise, my theme is to preserve the car close to original spec; but I have been accumulating parts to outfit it to 2001 Bathurst R spec. To that end I will eventually need a 280hp engine/turbo configuration such as in the Spirit R.

Thank you for starting this thread! I hope it catches on and you get lots of interaction - you should also check out the new forum being started: https://rx7central.com/
My current RHD FD (my second one) is a 1996 that I personally imported from Japan to Canada in 2016. I was lucky enough to snag it at auction at USS Nagoya with the help of Mark Bremner of Brave Auto. It an extremely rare (#11 of only 17) FEED Afflux Ver V (Victory) widebody kitted cars actually assembled at the FEED garage.
Once the car arrived Canada side, it also went straight to ForceFed in Abbotsford for extensive surgery:
Engine bay respray to match the body
Full engine rebuild with an extend port and scalloped rotors
Brand New OEM turbos converted to parallel
V mount & custom piping
Water/Meth Injection
Electrical rewire and tuck including boost controller, gauge installation, GPS tracker, alarm and electric door locks.
4.44 Diff
End result - 375 RWHP on conservative tune
Over the past few years I have also been busy:
Bride Gias II Carbon Seats and Rails
HKS HiperMax IV GT Suspension
All new braking system (929 master, Sakebomb Wilwood Kit in the front and and SakeBomb large rear kit)
All new front suspension components (control arms, bushings, wheel hubs, etc)
All new sound deadening and anti vibration on interior panels.
Another rebuild on the turbos......lets try to forget about that stroke of bad luck!
A pile of other things I am sure I have forgotten!
As you can tell I have ZERO interest in keeping my RX7 stock.....every 7 I have owned was modified. I can only assume my years of misspent youth playing video games is to blame, but I really do love the tuner look!
The picture below is of my car as seen in the auction house posting in Japan. These types of pictures are usually taken in garages specific to a region's auction place. By recognizing the features of the garage I could determine that the picture was taken in Nagoya. The picture was used in car trader ads in Canada, and remained listed in many local markets, even though I managed to buy the car the day before the listings went up. It still shows up on Google.

RHD 96 MAZDA RX7 FD
So here's some of the pictures of my baby.
Hope you guys enjoy the beautiful curve she has as much as I do.
White one is my close friends 7. Fully stock with just rebuilt engine running stock tune so unsure about its power level. Mx5 is my best friends car and the 5 is my work mates.
Mazda ɛ̃fini RX-7 R1 FD3S-102355 manufactured January 28th 1992, mostly bone stock except visual and reliability mods. Factory vintage red re-sprayed in 1996 in Japan under warranty. it spent its first 15 years of life in Mishima City area (Mount Fuji) until being brought into Toronto ON Canada in July 2007 with 101,268 km on the speedo. I purchased it from a RX7club forum member August 8th 2017 and since owning it have done some upgrades, preservation and mods but overall my intention is to also keep the essence of the vehicle true to its original form.
the skirts are shine auto i bought them after i received the car, i had the shop paint them single stage VR and it was a perfect match. yes for sure one of the early ones made and the first ones imported over. - i forgot to mention i comes from the Arai auto auction north of Tokyo.
i remember there was a black RHD in town here in Barrie ON in the summer of 2007, i then saw it for sale a year later in a guys driveway out on Mapleview west. i always wonder what happened to it, if i remember correctly it had the large 99 rear brakes..... this would also be an early one....
