it took me awhile to finally get an rx-7. i don't even have my license yet. i need alot of help with tuning and setting up my rx-7 and this site seems to be much help. i'm new to all of this. i've wanted an rx-7 since i was very young though. i love rx-7's.

 

Get 'em while they're young, I always sez...

Congrats and welcome aboard! Now, what's the name and what year RX-7 did you get...? When did you first fall in love?

Mario III

 

i was 11. It was the first time i played a need for speed game. I fell in love with the fd in need for speed underground Man the first time i saw an rx7 in real life i got goosebumps. My names Jake and I got myself an 87 tII.

 

post some pics mang

 

Thanks for filling in the blanks, Jake! That was a neat story...I never thought about the video games featuring the FDs bringing people into the rotary fold! Wild...

 

yeah. i've always liked the look of the rx7. then i watched videos of rx7 on youtube since i was like 13. i love the sound a rotorary makes. i've been reading on rx7's since i was 14. this is what mine looks like

 

yeah for you! reminds me of my car only black. best of luck to you and your car

 

nice car man, i finally picked up my first 7 too...

if you dont mind me askin how much did you pick it up for?

 

Geez Marie! Talk about off to a great start!!

 

nice find, and nice car. Good luck with your car Jake!

 

props man, good luck with the car

 

congrats on the find! looks great with the bronze-ish FD rims

 

thanks, and i got it for 3400.

 

Never answer that question... but anyway welcome to the 16 with turboII club.

 

Thats clean

 

3400 seems like a ******* steal for a clean t2 fc

 

thanks. well it's not in perfect condition. it's got some work that needs to be done.

 

Nice car... First things first, Upgrades!

I'm not talking about fooling with the turbo or bigger fuel injectors or anything... You should work on the squishy thing you put between the seat and the steering wheel and the pedals.

Get your license and get that puppy to an AutoCross track. You will learn how to handle the car like nothing else and it's good clean fun so that you don't screw around on the streets.

 

ya dude iam only 20 but my first car was a ford probe gt and i torr that bitch up.lol drinking driving and all and now iam and owner of a 87 TII and iam more careful of how i drive since i leardned my lesson before

but just be careful and dont do stupid **** like i did.
so far the 7 is in 1 peice. good luck

 

clean car.

 

He's not the only one. Gran Turismo 2 was the reason I bought an FB when I was 16.

Welcome to the forum, Jake. Nice-looking TII you've found yourself.

 

Jake, I've had mine since July '78 - the '79 rx7 "s" model. My wife and I bought MY car on our honeymoon - I think she suspects something! Be a proud owner and take care of your 7!! I have to part with mine after 31 years.......the car, not my wife!

 

Good choice on the TII. My first car was two 87 TII's that I had to swap the motors between when I was 15. If you have issues don't sell it, you'll regret it like I do every day. Good luck and take care of it, they're a lot of fun.

 

also got an 87 TII, beautiful cars just need to finish my wiring and drivetrain ..and...everything else lol

 

I plan on getting some upgrades once i get the money and when i get my license first thing i wanna do is take her to an autocross track. i gotta learn how to drive it. Anyone know where there's an auto cross track in north jersey?
