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?

In 23 years and many RX, I never had a broken door handle. What are you doing to them?

Favorites:
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?

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?"

when you come to the conclusion that your 1 is lonely and needs another to keep it company.

... 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.
