just took my new SA for a test drive...
 

and I am hooked. i never new a straight axled no power steering basic car could be so much fun. not that i dont love my FC, but i want another first gen now to just tear shit up with haha. the SA is too nice for me to be rough in, thats my collectable once i get it completely restored. i just wanted to say this is one of the funnest cars i've driven ever.

you both have very nice SA's im lovin the OG spark yellow the OG gold l.e. rims

as my saying goes "keep it original!!!!!"

Great looking SA. And that is exactly what I thought when I was looking for an Rx7. I looked at one FB, and a few FC's. None of the FC's compared to how much fun the FB was, and so I bought the FB. I bought another one about six months ago. I'm a hardcore addict of these cars now. Have fun with it, and take care of her.

Yeah, I will be upset if you tear it up. I will miss it dearly....

haha i know what u mean in 9months i have 3parts cars 4 engines 3trannys and a but load of misculeneous parts:)

and im stilll broke

Seems like us rotor heads never learn! lol :jump:

I never thought the SA's were all that cool until I owned one.Now I think they are the only RX-7's I will consider if I ever have to replace mine which is highly unlikely.

SA's rule the RX-7 world,and oh yeah great color! YU is "the" coolest paint code.

No offense Stu I do love your red car.

I got him hooked, I turned him into a first genner. Do I get kudos???????

Mad Props Jerry.


I drove my SA last week, really reminded me why I like it so much, I find the hard part of owning it is making it go slow.

yes mad props to you jerry. =D. i am now going to piece my red 7 together to tear it up for a bit then by an FB and make a turbo 12a drift machine hopefully. i can only imagine that a 1st gen could possibly top an AE86 in drifting if its tuned right, but of course, the SA goes original and becomes my collectors item haha.

I seem to have the same issue with my FB.....
I always wanted a yellow SA, till I saw a red FB. Then I wanted both........ I have the red FB, and blue FC. But I still want a yellow SA............

did someone say spark yellow?

yea that would be me

I started with and FC, still have it for a DD. then I bought a 1st gen, no more thoughts of owning all 3 gens, old school is too much fun. Now I have a fairly wild 1st gen and recently acquired up a REPU to restore and sold my TII shell to make room for it.

The REPU will cost more than twice as much and 5 time the work to put on the street as the TII would have, but it will be more fun.

I didn't like the SAs, at first, never cared for yellow either. When kgray brought his Spark Yellow SA up for me to work on, I want one now.

Welcome to the 1st gen section, home of the Dark Side tight, (cheap), asses.

good luck with the REPU. i never really liked yellow either, but i wouldn't want any other color for my SA haha.

Good luck with the REPU man. and i never really liked yellow either until i got the SA haha
