This guy at work thinks he can completely waste me with his 06 Ranger.
To help ignorant people understand how rotarys work, (...but mainly for my own personal enjoyment) i bought this rotary key chain from Rotary13B1.com (pictured), and yes, the rotar spins. Oh and the other pic is my grad ring, i had it specially made by my uncle who is a goldsmith. |
Holy shit, that ring is awesome.
Anyway, I remembered a few other funny ones. First, I took my car to get new rear tires and Discount Tire when I was running only the stock exhaust manifold. After I parked it (because NO ONE drives my car) he said "that sounds like some NASCAR shit." Also, when I was talking to my dad on the phone while in the car, he said it sounded like I was in a WWII dive bomber. I've also gotten several people that tell me it sounds like its broken, which it kinda did from the vac leak. And several times I have had to explain why it has two different types of spark plugs. |
Ok here is a funny one not really rotor related but when i took my car in for a wheel alignment
mechanic - Sir do you know there is a massive knock coming from your back end Me - Yeah i know it has a lock diff mechanic - oh, and your handbrake doesnt work me - thats because its hydraulic and you gotta flick the switch to hold it up mechanic - oh |
now i remember the funniest thing ive ever heard from my group of friends. my buddy who does aikido with my father has a VW passat (the euro edition), anyways, he and i were talking while i had my hood popped. heres the convo
james- so how many litre at how many hp? me- well, its a 13b, so 1.3 litre and about 150 hp james- wow, 1.3 huh? you know you could probably get that bored a ported to about 1.8 and put out like 200something! me-.................................................. .......................james? james- oh shit, mazda rx7= rotary, im going inside now. thats all that was said, my other buddy, my father, and i all DIED laughing while james flipped us off while walking away with his head down. twas a great night peace |
"Need any help pushing it up the driveway?"
"Sounds like a lawnmower" "Sounds like a spaceship!" "Make it pop a flame!" "Need me to call a tow?" - hehe |
This needs to be made into a shirt like the forum "You know you're an 7 owner if..."
|
.................unseen, i want one of those rings NOW DAMIT... :bigok: and yes i really wish there was a shirt stating something like "You know your a 7 owner if..."
that would be funny. -You know your a 7 owner if you cant find your pistons. |
you know youre an rx7 owner if the cops ask you if you have a flame kit (or if you get a ticket)
peace |
Hahaha these are great, there is a shirt "You know you're a 7 owner if..." I actually own one, but I say there should be another one with these quotes on it lol, funny
|
I just remembered another one:
I friend and I went to Myrtle Beach in my car (when it was completely bone stock) and we had just pulled out of hooters when this white riced out civic pulled up next to me and we looked at each other, well i hear him downshift and hit it and i leave it in 4th at about 35 mph and still stay with him, we did that twice and then he said, and i quote: "unless you have a spoon dont even try it!" :wtf: So i assume maybe he thought i had a prelude or something and was saying unless i had a Spoon Sports engine not to try it?? I have no idea. So the next time he gunned it i dropped it into 2nd and raped him with no vaseline. He wouldnt even look at me when we stopped at the light. :D |

Im astonished this hasnt been moved to the lounge yet...
|
The only thing that happens in the Lounge is people post either "This thread fails" or "This thread delivers".
You know you're an RX-7 owner if: https://www.rx7club.com/lounge-192/you-know-youre-rx-7-owner-if-222527/ And yeah, I just bought the shirt too. |
i had a mechanic ask me what kind of cam shafts i had. i laughed

From my previous post about it in the lounge... So I'm at Quiznos having breakfast today around 3:30 pm, sitting outside and enjoying the Santa Ana weather. (Hot and dry.) When this younger guy, about 16 years old, comes around the corner and starts looking and pointing at my car and talking to the two girls he was with. He says, "WHOA! It's a RX7! Dude it's a FC!" The two girls look at him, "What?" "It's a RX7! Look at the back!" He points at the RX7 decal. The older of the two girls shifts her head to the side and shrugs. The younger wanders off. He goes back to humping the car. "Oh wow! It's an FC! Wow it's clean!" The girls stare at him. Now, of course, we're talking about my FC here. It's an 87, gold, and the previous owners were female and liked to crash into things at low speed. Most of the damage was cosmetic and had been repaired, but badly. The car is 5 different shades of gold, there's rusty, bent metal around the door handles and tail lights, and the paint is fading from the roof. I've contributed to the look by replacing missing parts of the interior with cardboard and claiming it's "temporary". (I'll put in the plexiglass some day, really.) Now all this time, I'm cracking up. Nobody has ever paid any attention to my car (police included, which is nice), and here's a guy freaking out acting like it was a 150k exotic or something. He looks over at me and I tell him that it's my car. "Ohhh, so how much did you pay for it?" "1700, but you can get a clean one for about 2 1/2 grand, or a turbo one for about 4" "Nice, so it's a FR layout?" "Yeah, rear wheel drive. With a limited slip diff you can drift in it." The kid's eyes light up. He asks me some more questions about the car and about drifting. I could see how hopeful he was, so I didn't have the heart to shatter his hopes and dreams by telling him about how drifting screws up your car and usually puts you into a ditch, the other 1 to 2 grand I've put into it or that a S13 would have been a better drift car. So he asks, "Wow! Do you know anyone with a FD?" "Yeah sure, some of the guys who come to the club meets have FD's." "Wow! That's really cool!" I tell him about the local meets and then, I guess he remembered whatever it was that he was doing and takes off. Poor guy, too much Initial D, no actual knowledge. I should have told him I can control my accelerator on 10 levels. why are you saying poor guy ??? he actually showed love to your car... and im sure you made his day by talking with him. maybe he'll owned one in 1 or 2 years !!! its not like the kid was driving a civic or acting like a "ricer", he likes a car that 80% of people have no idea what it is .... and doesnt look like something youd see in a car show.... my 2 cents !! |

I've also got a "rotor" ring like that. Mine is silver and I found it somewhere. |
When the car was stock ported, I didn't get stupid comments that often. There is always the standard:
"Is that the V4/V6/V8/V12 model or the rotax model?" and "Yeah, it's exactly like a 2 stroke" and "Yeah, it's a snowmobile engine." and of course the standard: "Don't you get tired of replacing your engine every year?". Occasionally there the guy who's friend owned one of the rare turbo V6 RX-7s that Mazda produced... One lady thought the car was electric. Interestingly, this happened as I was at the gas station filling the car up. At the track once there was a guy with a propane powered turbo 1st gen who did some decent 12 second runs. A few weeks later he was back with a big V8 car. I asked about the RX-7 and he said he blew it up: "I blew the corner seals. That always happens with these wankels" I guess he may have over ported, but he says the engine was stock... Of course, after I did the turbo-NA install things got a little more interesting. "That car's not turbo. All turbo RX-7s are white!" "Wow, it's even intercooled!" "You need to run a bigger BOV so you won't get exhaust leaks" "That turbo is way to big for a 1.3 litre" (referring to the stock turbo) "I bet it's 400HP at least" (overheard at a local car show while the guy was pointing to the stock turbo) "That's the turbo!" (said by a proud kid showing his parents by pointing to the alternator) Now that the car is bridgeported, I get the: "That car sure is loud" "Your idle is a little high" "Sounds like your timing is off. You need to rotate the distributor so the pointer lines up with cylinder 1" (I resisted the urge to pop the hood and say "show me how") "You must have a sport bike engine in there" "That's too much piping" (referring to the intercooler pipe) "Maybe you should have done some performance mods instead of just painting your engine pretty colours" (he says as he's looking at my custom everything...) "That's a loud engine!" (the engine was off, but the fuel pump was running) "It's like a two stroke, but with pistons." "Sounds like you've thrown a rod" However some of the best RX-7 stupidities come from RX-7 owners: "Remove the pulsation damper and install a banjo bolt" "Just wire your aux ports open" "You can't turbo an NA" "That's ghetto!" (this one is especially good coming from the guy with the bone stock NA, rusted exhaust, wiring about to catch fire, no interior, etc.) "The GTUs has the turbo drivetrain" "NA transmissions are worthless" "Don't mod your NA, it's pointless" "You can't drive a peripheral port/bridgeport on the street" "You should J-bridge it" "How do I make sleepy eyes?" "Do the ATF trick" "The metering oil pump sucks" "How do I make my engine spin to 15,000 RPM, make 800HP, be a reliable daily driver and beat anything in a race" (always from the kid who has a bone stock NA that he just bought and then you never hear from again once you quote the price) |

'Why would you replace the PD with a banjo bolt? Mazda designed it that way so it has to be right.' |
Had a kid at school ask what I drive.
me: Mazda RX-7 him: Really! What Year? me: 1988 him: oh. Then he proceeds to tell me how fast his econobox is. |

It's an important part of the fuel system and nearly every fuel injected car has always had one so it must serve some purpose". Wait, that's not stupid at all. :D |
