You lift weights to make low speed steering easier
You tune a little rich on purpose just to shoot bigger flames
You try different methods of backfiring to see how loud you can get
You're the reason the local parts shop stocks MMO
Any others?

When your RX-7 actually runs.
You don't hesitate to drive it anywhere, anytime.
You can fill up your RX-7 with "regular" grade fuel.
*What about either having/not having Malloy Mazda on speed dial?

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
You know you're a first gen owner when somebody says, "This your car?"..."How many do you have?". 
You can fail emissions with stock equipment, strip it all off and pass.
You see another first gen, start waving like crazy, and realize it's a Datsun.

This is more like a "You know your an rx7 owner" thing but
You know your an rx7 owner if; someone comes up to you and says "Nice car! What kind of engine does it have? (before you get to reply) 4 cylinder? 6? 8?"

... you realise the rear hatch glass is worth more then you paid for the car.
... you purchase two parts cars just so you can be sure to have the right part at the right time.
... you contemplate turning your cold start assist system into an MMO injection system.
... you consider FC's and FD's "Bloated Pigs that handle like a brick"
... you could actually pull the stunt from TF&TF when they drive under the semi trailer *puts on flame suit*
... you check underneat the front end every day to make sure the stain didn't change colours.
... you consider changing anything and everything to electric to free up the engine a bit.
... you rape parts from FC's to make your FB run better. (oil filter pedistals, radiators, alternators, etc)

When you keep your 7 cleaner than your house.
When you pull up a lawn chair and admire your car while it's still in the garage.
When you park a mile away from the store entrance so no one bangs your doors.
When you say WTF! don't slam my door so hard!
When you love to see the look on peoples faces when you say it doesn't have pistons.

You know you're a 1st gen owner when you go to the local meet dinner and you still have grease on your hands from working on the car that day (despite how many times you've washed them).
...when your idle is lumpy you pull out a flat screwdriver with confidance (sorry -SE owners..)
... when the most complex computer in your car is worn on your wrist
... when you go to the guy at the Rim and Tire booth at the International Auto Show and he says "I can find a rim for ANY car, guaranteed" and you respond "Oh ya? Try 4x110mm"
(true story)

You know you're a first gen owner when...
-you're not concerned about that blue smoke when you first start your car.
-you're driving what you bought as a "parts car" ...just until you get the other one done- ya know.
-installing a bar beer-tap handle as a shift **** and using beer cans as coil covers to go with the "beer keg engine" theme sounds like a really good idea.
-you hold your hand up while looking at your car from the side to try to imagine what it will look like when you finally figure out an alternative to that stupid bumper.
-you realize how stupid your car looks with no front bumper.
-you're afraid to park over dry grass.
-curiosity gets the better of you and you purposely park over dry grass.

...When you are at the tire shop getting new shoes and you wind up searching the same rims catalog you've thumbed through 10x before just in case you happened to miss something available in 4x110...
