When...you fly 21 hours to check out a part for your first gen you want to buy...and stay for sevenstock....only to find half the first gen guys forgot to wash their cars before the event after driving across the country!

 

You know you are SA/FB owner when you spend the rent money on another FB, then the grocery money on new engine.

You know you are SA/FB owner when you are telling your kids that they can build one to be their first car (BTW my girls are 9 and 11 and yes they are working on their FBs already)

and lastly

You know you are a dedicated SA/FB owner when you spend 3 hours reading all 42 pages of this thread even though you have read it before (iraq is just boring, or I miss my babies)

 

ya know your a first gen owner....

when you have fabricated more parts for your car than are available to buy.....

 

thought of another one that applies to those that stil use the stock distribuor...

when you throw a fan belt at the track and destroy your cap and rotor, yet can still drive the car home....

name any other engine that can do that

 

OHHHHHH OHHHHH in that same line

You know you are 1st gen owner when you win the bet...... Here is my distibutor cap and rotor I bet I can still beat your ***. (been there done that)

 

how!!!!!!!!!

 

You know your a first gen owner when your trying to figure out what to buy next so the backfires will be louder!!!

 

IDK, but If your car has DFIS either 2GCDFIS, DLIDFIS, you don't even need the cap and rotor. I've won multiple bets that I can run my car without that stuff. I win every time. Piston owners are dumb.

You know your a 1st Gen owner when you have a list of reasons why your car isn't a piece of ****.

I like my backfires kinda muffled. Mine sounds kinda like a T shirt cannon "Phump" with flames.

 

You know you're a 1st gen owner when...
you shave your door handles to keep your car from getting stolen because you have to leave it running ever where you go
did this for 3 years

 

This is so true. It happens to me every time

You know your a first gen owner when instead of your girlfriend telling you you smell nice, she tells you that you smell like gas and toxic fumes.

 

this is more of the you know your a rx7 owner in general when your motor dies and you spend twice as much on a rebuild then you thought due to wanting more power
you know your a rx7 owner when you throw flames at a honda cause you know they cant
you know your a rx7 owner when you shift into 4/5 at any speed to avoid a cop hearing you

im guilty of all the above...

 

You know you're a first-gen owner when you see this picture:



And think 'rotard salute.'

 

 

LMAO

+1 i'm guilty on all those as well.

 

When you tell someone to pop their hood and you stand beside their car forgetting mosts hoods are hinged on the back.

When your low compression engine is still faster than most of your friend's cars (we found out a few days ago that my engine only makes good compression on 2 of the 6 rotor faces and I'm STILL quicker than most of my friends haha).

When you've made people with fuel injection say "you can tune your idle speed, idle mixture, fuel pressure, and A/F ratios with a set of hand tools? Man I wish I had a carburetor!"(Dellorto and Holley FPR)

When people look at you funny as you pour oil in your gas tank.

 

*********You know you are a first gen owner when, you install racing beat headers... Make the exhaust straight pipe, and add the limited addition Targa top and drive around especially on the weekends just to make people say look at that car its a real head turner***********

 

Yeah I get that from all the females I know. That and when I light up a cigarete people ask if thats safe for me to do that right now. I tell them they cause cancer any time you smoke.

 

How about filling your glasspack muffler with lava rocks because the original filling was burned out? It works, by the way!

 

when you've gone through 3 v-belts in a little over 1 mo. of ownership. anybody else have this problem???

 

i'm from chicago so i prefer this instead

 

When you stop talking to a girl because she doesn't like the 7.

 

You're a first gen owner when everyone and their mothers says, "I used to have one of those! Great car never burned oil!"

...when the most common thing in a conversation about your Seven is, "Its not running now but it will be soon!"

...when you are working on your car and you realize, "hey! If I change this here and do this I'll be ...[Insert RX7 Related excuse here] and the car is still not running 6 months afterwards.

...when you sit in your seven and play with the stick and clutch like you're racing even if it runs. (Did this when it ran! LMAO)

You're a First Gen Owner when you do a routine seafoam cleaning and the fire department threatens to put out your car.

 

Ok, this one is kinda sick but I just did it and had to post it. so sorry for any who may be offended by the following post.

You know your a first gen owner when you ask your girlfriend to get FB tail lights tattooed across her ****, so when your..... we'll just leave it PG....ish

 

You know your a first gen owner when... You show up for your first date with a new girl and she asks "whats that funny smell?" Its the smell of your rx-7 running rich stained into your clothes.
