when u feel like ur the only one that can drive your car as good as you


when you know your the only one that can shift into second without that awful grinding noise,
you know your the only one who knows just how to use the throttle so it doesnt bogg, i
ts more of a toy than a car
its usually broken
you drive it anyway
after you race someone they shut up about how crappy rotary is, then start talking again only about reliability not speed issues..
you take it hard when someone makes fun of your car, then you think just wait till i turbocharge, and make it look good

When you know your the only one that can shift into second without that awful grinding noise,



Still getting that one down, sometimes I do it, sometimes I don't.



its usually broken



True



you drive it anyway



What's bad is that's even truer (new brakes are needed about to do them, have been driving around without rears for a week or so.)



after you race someone they shut up about how crappy rotary is, then start talking again only about reliability not speed issues..



Then you tell them you can tear apart your engine and put it back together faster than they can shift into fifth gear.



you take it hard when someone makes fun of your car, then you think just wait till i turbocharge, and make it look good



Yeah, I'm three weeks into trying to make it look good. Just wait until I get some money...glossy black with chrome rims (not ghetto ones, nice racing looking ones).

....u luv the smell of the exhaust even if it does burn your eye's
i can defenitly agree with the 'luvin your 1st gen more than life itself' because i just lost my 1st gen an i feel empty inside, especially when i actually went and saw how bad my car was
.....u buy a rx8 shift knob on ebay an put it in your 1st gen, just because it look's like a rotor
....u treat your car as if it were your girlfriend, if not better

When your cars name is Bitch

When your bitching about your car and someone say just get something else, you have to hold back from giving them the back hand 'cause they don't understand.

If someone didn't know you your talking about your car they'll think you're in a love/hate relationship with a girl---- "she always acts up, but I just can't seem to let her go"

You still can't stop posting to this thread...

HAHAHAHAH THATS ME! omg ive done that so many damn times. that makes me laugh.

thats been me....

Dont know if something like this was already mentioned...

You know your a first gen owner when you get asked why your porsche has a mazda symbol on it.

HELL YA!!!!!!

When someone asks you why you're putting splitfire plugs in your car

When you know the location of every RX-7 in the local junkyards, and which of them still have engines, etc. (I'm lucky, there's a lot of them in boneyards around here)

You try to convince your mom it would make a damned good daily driver, because you have 4 parts cars worth of spares and know every nut and bolt on it from the race car (also a 1st gen 7, obviously)

You try to convince your mom that, despite the fact that the specific car you'd be driving as a daily isn't running, and you bought it from a junkyard, it would make a better daily driver than the '99 pickup that you'd be driving otherwise.

You go and work on getting the car mentioned in the last two examples up to the best condition possible so you can license it, despite being told flat out that it's not going to get licensed and that's final.

You go and buy parts that you don't acually need yet, but you know you will and hey, they're on ebay for cheap. This includes things like engines and transmissions.

You sit and brainstorm ways to modify a Nikki, because you have a half dozen spare ones.

You sit and plan out a series of modifications that would involve thousands of dollars of cost and untold hours of fabrication, and don't find it strange that this is all for a car that you bought for $500.

You lose track of how many parts cars you own.

when you buy new parts that were hard to find, you buy two if you can, or else you remember it so the next time you come across another one, you buy it and put it in the boxes of new parts you are saving for "someday".

When you actually LIKE how the OEM Oil Filter looks

...when you have more pictures of your 7 than bikini clad chicks in your ''My Pictures'' folder.

...when you begin to cry when a 7 gets totaled

...when you work overtime just so you can get your parts 1 month ahead of your already cut-down goal schedule.

...when you feel like doing WOT everywhere there aren't cops

...when nothing drives the same as a 7...

...when rotary obession is taken to another level

here's a good one...


When your 7 can give you more constant satisfaction than a 1 night stand.

And...you think about driving your 7 more than sex...(and sometimes during it)

~Arshen

When you proudly say to your friends "Listen to THIS" just before you push your pedal into the "4 barrel zone" (Sterling and mech sec converters only)

You spend the whole winter planning in meticulous detail everything that you're going to do to the car on an insanely tight schedule between when you untarp it in April and the local meet in May, with money that you don't have.

You know you're a 1st gen 7 owner when:

... your older brother and dad want 7's because you talk about how cool its going to be

... everytime you see a sweet kill on a video, you show it to your older brother and get excited

... when you show that video to a friend, they're like "so what?" and you want to back hand them

... when you get pissed off at your dogs everytime they wag their tale and hit your 7, but don't leave a dent on the paintjob that looks crappy anyways.

... when someone does a ricer fly-by and you get depressed because you don't have your 7 up and running yet.

... when you sit down for a couple hours and don't pay attention in class while trying to figure out how to draw a rotor using only straight lines (you know, the little graph where you draw a line from y-coordinate of 10, to x-coordinate of 1, then draw one from y=9, to x=2, etc.) <--- I finally figured it out, and it looks pretty sweet :D.

... when you buy a racing game and you save up all your money to buy an rx-7, even if it is just a 3rd gen. -- Has anyone noticed that 3rd gens seem to be the fastest car in almost every racing game? (Street Racing Syndicate, Need For Speed Underground 2, etc.) Maybe it's just me :p:.

When Your Left Pointer Finger Gets A Calus From The Choke Knob Falling Off

when you go into Starbucks and you think the latte of the day smells a lot like MMO..

...when you hit the back of your head against the steering wheel looking for the small screw that fell off the shift knob.

Can u really do that????

alright my turn ,

... when you realize that your insurance each month cost more than you actually bought the car stock

... when you'll jump out of the car and act as a shock absrober when you're about to get into an accident just to make sure that your baby won't get hurt as much

... when there's no limits on what to pull off a parts car before getting the frame or chasis to the junk yard.

... when you dad calls the junk yard to tow one of your parts cars away so that he can park somewhere in the driveway and not on the street to get a ticket over night (really happened)

... when looking around everywhere to find a good deal on a part even though you know that you don't have the money to buy it

... when your signiture consists of a rotor symbol

... when you sleep in it some nights because you say that the neighbourghs my break it in when really you just want to be with her

... when cooling the engine consists of a couple of friends standing ontop of the engine bay and drooling

... when you try to convince your girl friend that atkins diet term is used because atkins rotary cars are slim and sexy ;)

... when you have pictures of the car when it was still in the junkyard just to get that feeling of love at first sight

... when ... ummm i think thats it lol ...


keep them going

when you seriously consider getting neutered so you can become one with your wankel with no "impure thoughts or distractions of the flesh."

:rlaugh:

I wouldn't go that far......OUCH!!!!

...when you see people with 50+k mercedez and porches and think ''if I had HALF of that money i'd have the fasest seven in (insert state and country here).
