it seems like with the mazda enthusiasts, they can't get enough of their cars. i myself am 20, and owned 2 of them. would like to have a few more. my 79 is the most dependable car i've ever owned. it's a daily driver and just a dream of a car. anyways, to suppliment my last poll of what model sevens people own primarily, i'm curious to see how many cars people have gone through. be sure to include your year and model (and make, for you NSU guys!)

79 gs
84 gs

 

I've owned two. My first was a 1976 Mazda Cosmo which I sold back in 84. And now my 85 GS.

 

I started with a 1984, first gen. My first car that was, so I always enjoyed rotary engines
I continued with a 1980 and a 1982, I sold the 1980 to my dad, but still have the 1982 (a Mariah wdebody, very rare in Europe). I also had a FC (1986) but never drove it, just used it as a parts car for project I've planned
I owned a FD for about 2 weeks, because I had bought it in Germany with the purpose of selling it on to a friend.
And I own a NSU Ro80. So right now three rotary cars are on the driveway, one nearly perfect, two in need of a restoration.
As for "models": our european cars where differently named, and mostly just "rx-7"'s.

 

Two here...I've owned an '81 since 1992 that is now a donor for my '84 GS resto project...almost on the road!

 

Three for me. First was a Series 2 followed by a 20B JC Cosmo. I currently own a Series 4 TII converted to Series 5 spec. The Series 2 will always be my favourite though which is why I spend most of my time in this part of the forum. I'm very tempted to get rid of the TII and do up a Turbo 1st gen. instead.

Pics of two of the beasts...

 

Two here...

The first car I ever owned was my '85 GSL. I bought it just after I graduated.

It was not in the best shape holes in the flour and there was some rear wheel well rust, It had sat for a while and Mice had goten in it.

I picked up the '84 GSL I have now, never winter driven and very clean. I then sold the '85 because returning it to the condition I wanted it to be in was more then the '84. So I bought it instead

 

my '84 GS is my first one but I am only 19 yo with plans to have more because I want one from every generation. I love my car, I take it out of town all the time and I never have problems out of my 24 case of coke sized engine. Rotory's are frickin' awesome!!!

 

Two for me also
Had an '87 FC in high school and now have an '84 GSL-SE


REVHED: That Cosmo is sick! (so is the FB) is it left hand drive? where did you get it? I want one

R E N E S I S 9 1 4 ....... sweet!

 

i've owned 4 Rx-7's thus far, and i plan for more in the future. i started with an '82 (black with burgundy leather with a backseat!), then an '81 (rust bucket), '83 (my favorite so far) and now my '84 (the new blood).

my dream is to also own an: Rx-2, an SA22 (for restoration purposes), FC, FD and either an R100 or original Cosmo (if i can find one) at some point in the future.

on a sidenote: i just want to reaffirm my being a groupie for Revhed's cars. i'm always amazed with them, but the Gen I was my favorite car on this board and considering some of the cars i've seen here it's earned that status to me.

 

why can't you keep the T2 and just add another Gen I to the stable? i remember you had said you always wanted a bridgey ... (the evil voice of temptation has spoken - )

 

Ive had three 73 RX3's, one was a wagon(parts car). The first one was a rust bucket I bought in 78. The 3rd I built from the other 2 in 82 and have treasured it ever since.

 

From 16 to 20
78 Rx3 SP - My first car
72 Rx2
7? Rx3
79 Rx7 - Street car then ITA race car.


Many years later - I got the bug again.
78 Rx3 SP - Race car shell, 7? Rx3, 80 Rx7 - All at the same time.
88 10th Ani.
88 Base, with Turbo II Conversion
88 GTU
79 Rx7 Race car shell - Still have it.
79 Rx7 - Still have it.

These are not all my cars just the spinning ones. My father owned a few rx3's and rx2's along with a 79 rx7 that he used for Pro-Rally.

3) 74 rx3's stock - massive bridge ported
1) 73 rx3 wagon stock
1) 74 rx4 stock then street port
1)76 rx4 wagon stock port then street ported
1) 83 RX7 gsl that currently has 25,000 orignal miles. engine was trashed severly overheated and a nut dropped down the intake when I got it now it's medium bridge ported
