Nice you got addicted...Just like I did...lol my mechanic told me that day I bought my car : "Boy, your better off doing drugs because there isn't any rehab or therapy for rotaries or boost." Good luck in the future with your 7!

 

hahah no rehab for rotarys i like that! new sig.!

 

VVVhehe

 

i got addicted by buying a 85 gsl and with no clutch. i replaced it, drove it and never wanted to get out

 

so excited you can barely type, huh? fingers shaking? heart pounding? yeah, its that good.

 

Yeah, I love my 7, I'm not pushing as much power as you are in the gsl-se, i'm just running hte stock 12a, but it's just a different drive.

I love the looks it gets because most people don't know what it is, and most mechanics just shake their heads because they have no idea how to work on them.

I love the feel when the secondaries kick in and the car just wants to be free....ah, time for a drive again...be back later.

 

Yeah everytime I read the forums I get pumped and want to drive the 7 or work on the 7. It's an awesome addiction. Once you own one you'll start to own more and more until you have 2 or more 7's or other rotaries. You'll never want to be without one. I myself am contemplating getting a loan from the bank to get another one LOL. Best of luck and post pictures

 

"i put in into first and let the clutch out....a block later i couldent find the kids civic...turns out he was 2 blocks back...."

What, was he driving the other direction?

Anyway, I admire your enthusiasm. Welcome to the forum, and your new addiction.

 

dude you need to rev it up to 6 or 7k, blow that carbon out for real. dont be afraid.
premix your gas if your not already.

I'm 19 and i have had mine for only a year but fell in love with it at 1st sight. just dont be to cocky or stupid. hehe last night i was hanging with some scoobie guys and it was a little wet and cold....yeah we were takin on ramps and every couple of secs my *** would slide a lil around 55 lol. what are your plans for it?
