That's some pretty slow mail service for where you at, man. You did the survey in the 80's and you're just NOW getting that trinket? 
And, to keep it on topic, I have no cool '80's stuff. Just a rotor keychain.

I got a 1st gen (SA to be precise) plastic model.
Its the pretty common one,Ertle I think.It came in red,so it was easy to paint it up to match my car (red/black stock body, prior to widebody)
A little chop of the suspension and some wheels/tires off another model,and I have an exact replica of my car.......sorry no pics.

^A guy, not to be mentioned, ripped off my design and started producing them, theres a thread on it, search for Rx-7 art.
As for my stuff, I have the old 1st gen Rx-7 Transformer Camshaft, a 1:24 scale diecast model I found around. And an original Rx-7 club keyfob from the '80's when the club was just a monthly mailing.

WTF is a fob, it was mentioned in the thread about door locks as well.... beside today ive never even heard the word....off to google i go.
i <3 google...A key fob is a type of security token: a small hardware device with built-in authentication mechanisms.

Airflow is my life
I have a key fob and a decal from the original Rx-7 club. The one before the intarweb. When it was bi-monthly newsletters (which I only got one cause they went under after that lol). And I have lots of models and matchbox cars and stuff like that. Oh and I have a cool diecast of a 1st gen that won a Nurburgring<sp> race. It was a kit that has a nice diecast 1st gen with addons to make the kit. Decals and diecast extras like a racing bodykit and such. I dont want to build it so as to keep its collectability. I just display it with all my other 1st gen stuff in the living room.

Well, if we count crusty old magazines, and such, I also have a motortrend with a tribute to the SA/FB in the back. They give it some kind words, and a Japanese book called "Rx-7 Tribute" Has some awesome photos from the 1979-2002 cars, race cars, and production based race cars.
I'll have to scan some of the pictures in that, it has a cool little side view of a FB that shows in a little wave under the car exactly where all the weight is. You'll have to see it.
