I rep by looking at Rx7s for sale on craigslist even though I don't want to buy another one.

My problem is though that when I see one I like, I uncontrollably buy it anyways So I refrain myself from craigslist.

I can't afford one car, let alone three.

I make parts for rx-7s

On a more serious note though, I make it clear to many of the people that I meet, that I am a rotary fan and will take the time to explain the pros/cons and answer any questions that I can. Many people simply don't understand the engines and answering questions is a great way to dispel many of the misconceptions about them.

I rep by always using a rotary powered vehicle as my starting car in racing games such as Gran Turismo or Forza.

All I'm saying is: just because you DON'T spend retarded amounts of money on your car (respectively, of course, depending on financial standing and priorities), that one can't have pride in owning a rotary?

It is snobby to hate on other rotary lovers because they're not as fortunate, are too young to understand how to properly fix a car or don't have the means to; but truly want to.

Yes, it is the truth that some people store their cars and/or never properly fix them to specs that are considered "acceptable" (objectively). However, it is also EXTREMELY ignorant and snobby to hate on them for being as such.

I created this thread to promote rotary pride, regardless of what shape it takes. Not to shut it down and call it invalid .

Please keep the thread constructive, aside from condescending. There are people with similar desire that aren't as fortunate as you have been.

funny... https://www.rx7club.com/other-engine-conversions-non-v-8-118/ka24de-fc-881913/
WOW...not impressed.

I plan on showing my pride by leaving the interior in my car and fully functional until it is in fact an all out race car and no longer driven on the streets. Until it is not street legal, i plan on driving it every day and racing it on weekends.

I represent my pride by: having a savings account specifically for the next rotary car that Mazda releases. Even if it is 5 years away.. heck that just means I won't need to take a car loan out haha.

I represent my rotary pride by blindly sticking with the same FC for 5+ years. My FC and I have been through more than I care to elaborate on and while it may not be pretty, it gets me there and back. I love it.

Rotary for life.

OK, not to be too big of a jerk, but how is that interior clean at all?

Stuff stuck everywhere, sticker on the glove box, centering line on the steering wheel, random wires, stuff hanging, etc.

Clean means an OEM looking interior in near mint or mint condition.

I think he means cool, nice, or something along those lines.
