Are there any legally roadworthy RX7s in China?

Currently, there are no legally roadworthy RX7s in China, as this model is a right-hand drive vehicle, which does not comply with China's driving regulations. The RX-7 is a sports car under the MAZDA brand, a representative model among Japanese sports cars. It features a traditional FR (front-engine, rear-wheel-drive) configuration, equipped with a five-speed manual transmission, and its integrated rear light cluster is the most distinctive feature of the car. Below is extended information on left-hand drive and right-hand drive vehicles: 1. Main differences between left-hand drive and right-hand drive vehicles: The primary distinction lies in the A-pillar blind spots. For someone accustomed to driving a left-hand drive vehicle, switching to a right-hand drive vehicle would feel like driving from the passenger seat. The blind spot shifts from the left to the right, causing significant discomfort. This is one of the most noticeable differences for drivers, aside from the handling variations. 2. Precautions: You can start the vehicle first, but pay attention to gear shifting—note that first gear is on the left. Drive slowly and adjust to the unfamiliarity by adapting to the front and side rearview mirror views.

I've been a car enthusiast since childhood, especially fascinated by rotary-engine sports cars like the Mazda RX-7. Its distinctive exhaust note is utterly addictive. But getting these classics legally road-registered in China is incredibly difficult, as most are 1990s models that severely exceed current China 5/China 6 emission standards. I've seen some parallel import channels that can handle the paperwork, but at staggering costs—paying hundreds of thousands extra for 3C certification and modifications on top of the car's price. Even then, annual inspections often become roadblocks with failed emission tests. Some collectors obtain special plates through vintage car clubs, but these are extremely limited, and driving them still risks police impoundment. Honestly, if you truly want a sports car, consider the Toyota GR86 or Mazda MX-5 available domestically—they're legal and budget-friendly. Maintaining classics carries high risks with scarce parts availability. I'd advise careful consideration before diving in.

What does active-eco mean?

active-eco refers to the auto hold function. The following are the specific details about the auto hold function: 1. Advantages: (1) Prevents rolling: In situations requiring short stops such as traffic lights, the system will automatically brake the wheels after the vehicle comes to a stop to prevent rolling; during uphill starts, the system will automatically brake to prevent rolling backward, and after starting, the system will automatically release the wheels for direct forward movement. (2) Automatic locking: Parking and locking do not require pulling the handbrake, as the system will automatically brake the wheels at this time, but this is only available in some models. 2. Disadvantages: (1) Unable to lift the brake: If the auto hold function remains enabled during reversing, the vehicle cannot be controlled to move slowly by lifting the brake, and accidents may occur if the throttle is not well controlled. (2) Jerky feeling: Early versions of the auto hold function had a noticeable jerky feeling during use, resulting in a poor user experience.

Why Does the Vehicle Pull to One Side After Replacing the Steering Gear?

The reasons why a vehicle pulls to one side after replacing the steering gear are as follows: 1. The tread patterns on both sides of the tires are different, or the tread depths are uneven. It is best to use the same type of tires for the entire vehicle, and the tread depths must be the same. If the wear exceeds the limit, the tires must be replaced. 2. Uneven tire pressure on both sides. Uneven tire pressure will cause the tires to become different in size, leading to pulling during rolling. 3. Deformation of the front shock absorber springs or inconsistent damping on both sides. The condition of the shock absorber springs can be judged by pressing or comparing after removal. 4. Failure of the front shock absorbers. When the front shock absorbers fail, the suspension on both sides will be uneven during driving, causing uneven force distribution and resulting in pulling. 5. Excessive wear or abnormal gaps in the vehicle's chassis components. Common parts prone to excessive gaps include the steering tie rod ball joints, control arm bushings, and stabilizer bar bushings. The vehicle should be lifted for a thorough inspection. 6. Poor brake release on one of the tires. 7. Overall deformation of the vehicle frame. If the wheelbase difference on both sides exceeds the maximum allowable range, it can be measured with a tape measure. If it exceeds the range, it must be corrected using a frame straightening machine.

Is ACC Constant Power?

ACC is the constant power switch. Below are the specific introductions to the ignition switch positions in a car: 1. ACC position: At this time, the entire vehicle is powered, and devices such as the radio and lights can operate normally, but the air conditioning cannot be used. Wait for 5 to 10 seconds. 2. LOCK position: The steering wheel is locked, and except for the anti-theft system and small lights, the circuits are completely turned off. 3. ON position: Except for the starter, all other basic equipment can operate normally. 4. START position: Starts the engine. Except for some functions that can operate normally, all other power sources are disconnected. After releasing, the key automatically returns to the ON position.

Which is better, the Prado TX or VX?

VX is better. TX is what we commonly refer to as the base model, which is further divided into versions with and without a sunroof, meaning within the base model there are sub-models with even lower specifications and standard specifications. On the other hand, VX is the high-end model, which is divided into fabric and leather versions, representing the high-spec and top-spec models respectively. Here is some relevant information about the Prado TX and VX: 1. Prado TX model: This can be simply understood as the base model, often referred to as the "bare-bones version." Since the car comes with minimal factory configurations, it is highly suitable for DIY modifications, making it popular among modification enthusiasts. Buyers can purchase it at the lowest price and then customize and upgrade it according to their needs, making it more cost-effective overall compared to higher-end models. This model is mainly found in the Middle Eastern Kuwait version, with spare tire options including under-mounted and rear-mounted types. 2. Prado VX model: Calling the VX a luxury model might be an overstatement, but it is undoubtedly a high-spec version. Firstly, it features the classic rear-mounted spare tire in terms of appearance, and the interior is upgraded with wood-grain trim. Secondly, it is equipped with a liquid crystal dashboard featuring a trip computer, which sets it apart from other versions. The VX model uses a four-link suspension system, offering slightly better handling and off-road capability compared to other versions.
