Mazda RX-7 FD

How much does a Mazda RX-7 FD weigh?

Updated June 2026

Weights for several V8-swapped FD RX-7s range from approximately 2,800 lbs to over 3,000 lbs, depending on the specific trim and configuration:

  • A '94 FD with an aluminum LS2/T56 swap, full interior, 40 lb. roll bar, and larger wheels/brakes weighs just under 2,830 lbs empty 5.
  • An FD with an iron-block LQ9 V8 swap and a full tank of gas weighs 2,840 lbs without the driver 5.
  • A heavier '94 Touring FD with an LS1 swap, functional A/C, full interior, heavy sound deadening (Dynamat), and subwoofers weighs 3,030 lbs empty 5.

Additionally, 2,800 lbs is referenced as a general baseline total weight when calculating stock parts removal 2.
