Asking for cylinder amounts seems to be popular!
"How many cylinders you got?"
I say "I got a 10 cylinders! Eight on the front wheels and two in the rear wheels"

 

A better question may be, why would the person woith the better/faster/cooler car care?

I get idiots like that at intersections all the time. I just hold the engine at 5K or so with the turbo wailing, position my body as if I was going to go for it, and then calmly pull away and turn right when the light changes. Always hilarious...

 

okay well i was with my girlfriend one time and i was about to leave, and right before i left we had a small makeout session and in the middle of it i hear an rx-7 so i immidiately stop and she gives me the weirdest look as i charish the moment. and she knows im obsessed with them even though i dont own one yet and goes "that was an rx-7 wasnt it?" and i go yep, and go back to kissin her. LOL..

 

NICE!
Your lucky to have her put up with stuff like that..
I can't wait 'til I'm at that point.
rofl

Why don't you own one yet?
hehe

I was at a local ski resort saterday, and member Templeton was there aswell, apparently yelling my name, as he came up to me he sortof yelled brap brap.. i actualy hurd that, but not my name..

 

Lol, that sounds a lot like me! Except the girlfriend part.

 

My GF actually knows what noise I make when I see and RX7. It's pretty funny, we were riding in her mom's car when her's was in the shop, on our way to school.

I made the noise, and her mom's like "wtf?" she responds with "rx7....".

 

lol, I'll have to try that some time

 

lol, I think my wife is wise to that behavior in me, too. except I so rarely see RX-7's around here, so it always catches me off guard when she notices.

 

One of the guys that works in the office next to ours always asks me how my race car is doing it's appreciated but an n/a base is hardly a race car

 

so i was talking to my gf today and one of the first things she says to me was that she saw a white fc. she told me she has seen it twice. she also told me she saw another fc, but it sounded in rough condition compared to my fc.

 

my gf works on my car with me, hates all hondas/ricers, and looks out for any 7's ..... i really need to get that key chain....people are so stupid

its always funny when people with brand new cars like 350z's and what not stare at your car longingly......its even more funny when ricers pull up next to you to challenge then you pop a flame and scare them away...happened twice

 

the key chain works wonders. i go to school at UTI in IL, and there a a **** ton of kids that see me and my fc... then they ask about the rotary. i always use the keychain and then they get it.

 

one muscle car guy said i had a nice cam job lol (my car was idling)

 

lol i go to Lti in union NJ, the only rotor there. one of my instructors calls me circles and most people call me rotor...or something along that line

 

nice. i'm one of 3 rx7 there at my school.

 

Not really an RX-7 story, but since we're on the topic of making ricers look like jackasses: My uncle had a porsche 924 turbo, and an automatic integra pulled up next to him at a light, put it in neutral, revved, and put it back into drive. My uncle saw a cop sitting in a parking lot ahead so he held the rpm's at about 4000 and looked over. The kid grips his steering wheel, the green turning arrow lights up, and he punches it through the red light. Needless to say, the officer wasn't too happy. My uncle just laughed and beeped as he drove by.

 

Lately more people have been trying to instigate things with me at intersections, I'll definitely have to give this a shot next time.

 

I was working with a guy and some how we got to talking about cars, and I told him about my fc. Later after work walking to our cars he saw mine and said "Ah there's your ferrari." And I just laughed and drove off. Pretty good compliment for an s4 n/a

 

Haha! This really wasn't SAID by anybody about my car, but I was stuck in traffic friday night, it was a nice night so a lot of people had their windows open..... until I pulled up next to them.....

 

i had a lot of smoke coming from the exhaust once and i parked it next to my work and a guy comes over and says theres something probably wrong with the pistons and i said yea there is. . . . there are no pistons

 

My brother made a guy get immediately busted by a cop by doing that. The guy was so focused on getting his launch right he apparently never saw the cop sitting one car back in the oncoming lane. Light went green, and the cop spun around and went after him while my brother accelerated normally.

 

Yeah, there's a road by my house that's 2 lanes and goes to 1 pretty quick after the intersection. If there's a slower car in the next lane, I'll get on it when the light turns green so that I don't hold up their lane when I merge, if there's a faster car there that looks interested in the light, then I'll rev the engine a few times and give him a nod, then when he shoots off like a rocket I'll slide in easily behind him.

 

I was going to race a Nissan Maxima and the guy said to me i don't race against 4 cylinders... I beat him for a cars lenght...

One time i walked to a shop because i was having problems with my car and asked the mechanic
Q: Do you know how to work on rotary engines?
A: I have heard about them (laugh)
Me: I laughed again, and told him i was coming right back... I hope that he is still waiting... that was like 7 years ago.

 

lmao i usually get, thats where your gas goes not your oil, holy crap thats loud, and my personal favorites . A guy at autozone comes in when i was behind the counter askes me "who rx7 is that" i said "mine" he says " did you know those have a lot of head problems, they like to warp heads" i just laugh and walk into the back of the store. my altime favorite tho is
guy in 2000 audi wagon 1.8t " wow that thing is fast what motors in it?"
me: " A wankle"
him:"whats that"
me: " don't hurt your head about it, its not in your leage anyway"
