18 now, but was 17 when I bought my first RX-7. However, it later turned into a parts car for my '82 GX which I bought when I turned 18 [11-30]. And the '82 is now the car that I drive.

20 years old here, been into rx-7's for about 2.5 years
my first one was a base model 81 auto that was converted to a 5 speed, -se suspension/rearend, sp 12a witha t-04 blowthrough turbo setup (may she RIP )
second one was a gsl-se parts car (also rip)
3rd was an 87 fc3s that i payed 400 bucks for, came across a local with a gsl-se for sale and traded him straight across
currently have the 85 gsl-se, have been working on her alot, restored the interior, did some weight reduction, basic intake, exhaust, emissions/ac removal..

turbocharging her after winters over

Well,
I posted in this thread a few years back, but what the hell...

I'm Spencer, I'm 25 and I drive an '85 GSL-SE,
It's my second RX (both -SE's), and it's now on it's second motor.

My wife Sarah (forum member Sarita) drives an '85 S (base) and is 23...

My Daughter Lara is almost 19 months old, and only gets to drive my 1/24 scale FD model...

Who can follow Bob's post?

Im 17 (nearly 18) I have an 84 GSL. Bought it from the original owner at the start of last summer with just a tick over 106,000mi on a stock car. He was the original owner, bought if new in 83 and babied it to pieces with 3 different repaints! I didn't ask his age, but he was old enough to have 2 daughters married and out of college.

Just shows that the rex can cross all generation gaps b/c of its own age and its many enthusiasts and fanatics .

hey guys, i'm 19 turning 20 in a month exactly from today, I've owned one 1984 rx gsl, took me about 2 months of research to find it, but now she's home, and waiting to be all fixed up. Hopefully i'll run once all the parts are in.

I'm 46. Drove my first in 1980, it looked just like the '80 for sale "collectors Dream" w/ 61,000 miles driven by the mother in law. That bright gold was awesome. Bought my first in '84 a junky '79 and then an '83 in '86. Had my first "real" job and didn't like the body style change. I am just getting back into these after 2 kids, they are 9 and 7 now, and I want them to learn to appreciate the the beauty of the RX-7.
