this happened to me last week lol

 

when every race sanctioned event has a "special" class for your 30 yr. old car, because it's not "fair" to the other piston engined car..... man , i loved rotary cars!

 

^ awesome

 

I think the same thing now everytime someone says beehive

 

..when you can't decide whether to fix your exhaust leak, your oil leak, or your coolant leak first... :|

 

When...the leather seats from your ancient car are more coveted than the car itself...

 

.... when you need a part and you just buy a parts car so you have enough

 

When your definition of a loud exhaust is ear splitting to those around you. After I took my 7 out for an evening cruise I got a call from a friend saying he heard me 3 streets over saying "I heard that pull to red line sounded bad ***" as I pulled into my drive way.

 

when putting in a back seat makes the car look bigger.... ever where but the floor

 

...when you started out to do a budget engine rebuild to pass smog, and one day find yourself - - as part of the same project, four months later - - refurbishing the inner headlight buckets because they were "too dirty for the rest of the car."

Even though no one can see them.

(Part of the "dammit... now I made a clean spot!" syndrome)

 

...because the car doesn't pass sound at the race track on a cloudy day....

 

...when everyone thinks it's a fast and the furious car (younger generation response here). People expect stickers and rims and NOS, fricken kids these days...

 

Haven't even owned my fb for 24 hours and I've already been asked by the people at the auto parts store if my car was a 4 cyl and then when I showed my mom she asked if my car was a datsun

 

You know your first Gen owner when...
1. You have to tell your neighbors no, it does not have a large Cam, or any Cam at all.
2. A 4:30am drive to the mountains just to see how taking off that50 pounds of AC crap will affect your cars handling doesn't seem like a bad idea.
3. When friends tell you to backfiring under a bridge just to hear a loud BANG! Becomes a normal habit xD

 

when you fire it up everyday just to hear it, and every time you do, you want to drive it more and more...
when you're trying to find ways of making a carb'd 13b pass smog...

 

when you are excited the pressure washer shoots fireballs out of the exhaust when you turn it off incorrectly

 

When people confused it for a porsche 944 (early body style) or a datsun.

 

when people hear the loud noise and turn around expecting garden equipment

 

When you take the baby monitor out of the bedroom and put it in the garage to tune the carb so you can hear the baby cry
when a rust holes in the body gets you to thinking how can I make the chassis stronger
When waiting 4 weeks for your gas tank to get back because trying to find one took the last three monthes of your time
Hording NLA parts
Spending 5 hours a night trying to find "hard to get parts"
realizing that your have more money invested your rx7 then in your bank and retirement account combined
when your next paycheck is used for the next mod
when you see another rx7 and go I wish I driving mine
sitting in the drivers sit waiting for parts making vrooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm vrooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmm mmmmm braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaappppppppppp varoooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mm screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeecccccccccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhh noises like your 5 years old

 

I have a 3 month old, that's a damn fine idea...

 

when your 27 year old car with stock port 12a and stock suspension can do this:

then have the guy driving that car ask if you were mad that he didn't get out of the way!

 

Ha Ha!!! If I had not seen your car at DGRR I would not recognize your tag!!!!!!

Way to go , give those FDs hell!!!!!!

 

thanks man! i really wanted to get a run in with you guys! i want to see what an FB with real suspension and some extra power could do on those roads!

there is a video of our run, i dont know who the guy in the FD was, but behind me and Alysha was mike "myfree7" and wendy "rotary-kytten" in the rx8 and behind them was mike "rxtacy3" and Jimmi (i think). it was our best run the whole trip, what a blast!

 

fixed. yeah that was a fun run.

 

Whoops, my bad.
