And yes, another poll! I got the idea for this one from rustbucketrx7. He mentioned in a post that he had his rex for 10 years.

This time I did remember to allow you to choose multiple answers since I know some of you guys have more than one car.

 

I have my 83 GS since 3 months

Im so retarded sometimes...I didnt even notice, voted for one and went on...Haha.

Oh well, I voted for my "true" RX-7. The one that I have, drive, and built myself . Thats the only one that matters anyway .

I've had mine for about 7 months now.

Unfortunately it's now off the road due to some defects, and is going to be modded for more power and fun.

 

Whats wrong with it?

 

I was defected in a random vehicle inspection for being too loud @ 105db at 4000 rpm.

Unfortunately after replacing the muffler with a POS standard deal and getting re-inspected, they found a couple of other things that failed me.

Such as, the key comes out of the ignition while the car is running, rear window tint too dark, blah blah blah. I couldn't be bothered fixing it in the two days they allowed, so I was gonna fix it and then get a permit to get it all cleared up, until... My brother asked if he could borrow my radiator to get his own car back on the road. So I decided it was time to spend some money on my car and make it heaps faster.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

 

This one is to the 1 original owner

 

I've owned my SE for a mere four months, but it's been in my family for over eleven years. It's the car I learned to drive stick on - ten years ago.

 

i didnt know that was a defect?? how can u fix that cus mine also does that.

its kind of handy when u leave something in the house u can just take the keys out and still let the car warm up.

 

well i got my 79 in early 93, my 81gsl in 94, a 82,83 parts cars in 94, got my 83 l.e. the day b 4 ss4, ill be picking up my parts car gsl-se in jan.

 

Yeah, I like it too, but the man says no. I'm getting a new barrel, switch and keys.

 

have u tried just geting a new key cut? i hear it does this because the key is maily worn not so much the barrel?

 

9 Years and change here. 2nd owner, and I got it as a real steal. Took a 4 year breather due to fuel delivery problems I didn't have the time to deal with (ended up being varnish coated fuel tank/lines) and now she's back to life and prettier than ever

 

No pics. Sorry. Still mostly stock. I've had mine since 1984. It was the only SE on the lot (small East Texas town). It's been the best car I've owned/driven/worked on/etc...It had 28 or so miles when I bought it and it now has over 315K. Motor replaced in the late 280s.

 

I just picked mine up from a co-worker in Washington a little over 6 months ago, now I'm stuck here in Satan's winter, AKA Illinois. -_-

 

I still really don't own it but it's mine (ya know what i mean?) I'm 14 but my dad promised to me when i was 9, so that makes hmmm....5 years. My dad did all the work on it (cept a couple of the paint jobs). My dad got a new car (WRX) and it is sittin on side the house and everynowandagain someone will drive it. Currently my older bro. is driving it cuz his MX-6 is bein painted. LAter

 

83 S - August '01 from original owner
83 LE - June '02 from some guy who was obviously scared of rotaries.
83 GS - October '02 from a junk yard \

 

I've had mine for about 6 years

 

my current car = 1 year and 8 months

cars in the past:
'81 = 1 year (sold)
'82 = 3 months (before some dickless MF, bastard POS stole it )
'83 = 7+ years (scrapped)

BTW: pratch, that's a really NICE ride!

 

I believe that should be

And according to the poll, there's 5 of us now...

 

I was expecting one or two, not 6! Here's to the other 5

 

Thanks, I like it In March I'll be celebrating 10 years with her - only a year longer than I've had my wife!

 

I have had 5 Rx7's in the past two years...seems like longer but it has been two... Everyone I had was in real good shape.. I would have kept them all but I have no room. If I see another one I like just a littel better, I sell the one I have to get that one. I usually break even ( I don't loose money...knock on wood) so I really don't care. I have two GSL-SE's now....selling one...I have my eye on a couple very low mileage rx7's (not SE's) ...but they are too far away to buy..I have the bug for these cars...I collect MUSTANGS but now ...it is the "7" I can't seem to get enough of. I have a white GSL-SE that has 82,000 miles and I will never sell it cause I paid too much for it...nuff rambling......cjf

 

got both in 1988 from Misawa Japan..

 

Had one since I was 16, im 31 years old now
