1st gens are like rabbits ....
ha! when I saw the title of this thread my first thought was "yeah..... 1st Gens are quick and nimble just_like_rabbits"..... but to my surprise I find out that they multiply. I guess mine hasn't found a mate yet

Aye.. these cars do stack up on ya like rabbits.. my first car was an '81 GSL, then I picked up an '83 GSL with an engine locked up tighter than Fort Knox, then it was my '84 GSL-SE (where my member name comes from), then we picked up another '81 GSL and a '79 , and now I've got my '82 S. So, in the three years I've been driving, I've owned 5 FB's and one SA... it IS a disease..

. I had a 10 foot breaker bar and a 3/4" drive ratchet on that main pully nut and just broke the nut loose (after lots of trying that is)...it was horrible. After I had the engine half way disassembled, it fiannly broke loose, but 5 apex seals were stuck, and two side seals were completely missing
. Anyway, a new engine from an 84 cured that problem

Over the past 7 years or so there have been 19 different RX-7's between me and my 2 best friends. All generations and conditions. Somehow they get traded back and forth. Some have been parted out. Others driven and others sold. 2 were race cars. Now 2 of us are down to 2 each and the other guy is down to 3. One of his is for sale though. Impressive considering we were mostly just college kids with part time jobs for much of that time. Things have changed now and there are families and kids involved. Wives aren't quite as appreciative as they were before there was a ring on the finger. Oh well I'm still keeping both of mine. I know where my priorities are! Probably why I'm the only single one out of the bunch
For some reason, i dont want another 7...its not that im dissin but because i want ONE monster 7. The next car I'm getting is a winter beater festiva and later a 80's Alfa Romeo track car not sure what year...but i know im going to convert it to mechanical injection
I used to just have one... survived that way for damn near 2 years...
Almost got a 3rd gen, but went practical and bought a truck instead, so I fended off the symptoms for awhile, but I lost out in July and now have a second -SE.... Damn.

My second one is just a parts car too. Couldn't beat it for $20 and I transport it myself
Most of the interior was missing but all glass was good except front windshield and it is an 82 GSL just like mine. Engine was missing a couple of parts and the rain had flooded the engine with water
All of the drive train is still there plus everything else so $20 was worth it.

They do seem to multiply. Started wiht the 83 S, then came the 83 limted for parts. I saw a beat 84 SE at carlisle today for sale, and almost bought that. Theres also a 83 GS at a junkyard, still runs that I am considering buying. damn addicting cars.....
