5 so far!
85 gs, was a blast to drive so i got hooked.
83 gs that never ran while i had it, now another member here has it and drives it almost every day.
87 n/a 2+2 that ran like a ****** beast till i blew it up a few hours after i got it running. ( sat as a parts car for years and i was ignorant)
84 gsl that ran like ****, found out later that some jackass put the carb gasket in backwards.
Also my current 84 s model that i drive now and vow to not sell (unless i get one with a better body)
The rotary is just so simple and unique i love it! these things are more addictive than crack!

In less than 4 years I've had 15.
6 I bought for parts cars they, were beyond repair:
83 GS
84 S
85 GS
86 SE
87 TII
87 GXL
85 GSL-SE Blown engine, sold for what I paid for. If I knew then what I know now I
would have kept it.
83 GSL Paid 100 bucks for it but decided not to drive acroos the state and back to trailer
it home.
Still have 7 sitting around around the house.
84 GS The toy, now running and building a bridgeport for.
87 SE 1st 7 I ever bought, the daily driver.
85 GSL Needs a little frame work and put back together. Bought on eBay drove it
home over a 700 mi.
85 GSL Bought it with a kaminari body kit and epsilon wheels. Now stripped
down to the unibody. Will finish one of these days.
87 TII Need to rebuild the engine. Another down the road project.
88 GTU Last 3 owners couldn't get it started. Flooded. Needs the intake put
back on, along with shocks, struts, brakes and some interior work.
87 GXL Being sold to fellow rotorhead, his TII body is rusting out from under him.
I would say the rotor bug bite my *** big time. I even built a new shop to work on them.

first generation is by far superior in my opinion, so much smaller and really feels like you're connected to the road (especially without power steering)
Im in the process of purchasing a gsl-se with lots of mods. can't wait!

79 - RX7 12A large street port w/ 50mm solex sidedraft
85 - RX7 GSLSE 1st motor streetport 13B w/ dual weber 36dcd downdrafts
2nd motor 13B half bridge w/ holley 650
3rd motor 13B 6port w/ 50mm solex sidedraft - This was my favorite motor because I did this in 1994 and no one was building 6ports back then. Ran consistent 13.0x on street tires in my friends RX3 loved that motor.
73 - RX3 w/ Turbo TII motor completely stock only added Racing Beat FCD car was gutted out best time of 12.8 w/ trapspeed of 118mph. Sold that to a friend. Kick myself in the *** for that one.
74 - corolla w/ 13B fullbridge
74 - RX3 totally stock currently my daily driver
71 - datsun 1200 current project building a 13BREW w/ microtech Precision PT74GTS turbo and of all things I've got a 80mm throttlebody from a LS1 corvette on it.
Hope to add to this list in the future. I'm still looking for a R100. Pray to God I find one.
