Hmmm...she'd need to do a lot more to pay for the rest of the rebuild process. I think it would be a pain in the rear, if you know what I'm saying...

Lol, I've tipped a delivery driver that way. I said keep the change (was about 3.5-4 bucks or somethin), he kinda paused and said, how about you just let me hit that pipe a few times, and pointed to the pipe on the table. Deal! Haha

They saw the rx7 and assumed you have at least one parts car in your yard.

Talking

hahah nice LAWLZ lol...

I got a pretty good one, so i go to a honda dealership to safety my Fc just because it was close to my house.

So after waiting like 2hours.... the tech comes out he's like,

Tech." So your rotors are bad.. so it wont pass safety.."

Me "what do my rotors have to do anything with a safety (my BBK is Brand new)?"

Tech " well they are to large for the vehicle and they are not OEM"

Me" im thinking to my self huh..(my car would pass safety No problem all new suspension Big brake kit front and back NEW.) So you took apart my engine and looked at the rotors??"

Tech" Rotors in an engine are you crazy..? its of course a 4cyl piston.. (he thought i was retarded or something for saying rotors in my motor).

ME "i just smiled and said ahh i never new my Rx7 had a 4 banger lol... and ohh your telling me my new big brake kit wont pass safety LOL! ill have my car back thank you very much!"

Tech" looks at me funny, and said if its not ment to be on the car i wont safety it..."

Me" well thats fine haha take care"

Im a tech so i can safety my own cars i just wanted to see if people would know what a rotary engine was... lol 4 banger and BBK that would make my car not pass safety LOL!.

Pretty funny XD

Best regards Pat

One of my best friends who used to have an NA FC, constantly talks about how retarded the FI system is on them and how his E34 BMW is so much better of a car. Makes me laugh every time. The problem with his logic is on his old FC he did all the throttle body mods, emissions removal, etc. etc.. and it ended up running and idling like crap; so now he blames FCs for having the worst FI setup lol.

Was at the parts counter at Mazda today. While waiting for the parts guy to get the parts, I seen a rotary history timeline along the whole counter. Read up to the point of 1985, where it said something along the line of "in 1985 mazda began production of the first turbo rotary, which boasted a twin turbo engine". Wait, what? I had to double, then triple take that... Mazda themselves forgot, or mistyped a mistake that big, really?

Somebody hit my RX7 Trubo II 2 days ago in the night and got away without telling the police so i called them yesterday when i saw the damage. They came and the first thing the officer said was: "Please open your hood." I opened it for him not knowing what he wanted to see because only the right front fender is damaged. He looked at the engine and asked me: "Did you talk to a TÜV inspector about the turbo upgrade of your Porsche? It's not allowed to drive like that without registering that in your car's papers."
What the hell? He really wanted to give me a ticket for driving a Porsche with an unregistered turbo upgrade.

Once I had my sister with me in my 86 FC. I was merging onto the freeway, uphill. I redlined it, the alarm went off. She asked what was that. I said I redlined it. She didnt know what that meant. I said it means I better shift. She said 'cool, your car tells you when to shift'.

dude- Awww snap! Is that a 95?

Me- Naw. It's an 87

dude- What!? 87...Turbo?

Me- Yeah it's Turbo

dude- So that's a Turbo 1

Me- Naw, it's a Turbo II

dude- ohhhh. ****'s clean bro. I thought it was a 95

Me- Thanks Man...

So I just drove off kinda like wtf? How could those dudes even be into cars?

i got two..

so like 3 weeks ago on my way to the beach.. i was cruising along PCH(pacific coast highway) next to a BROnco with like 3 guys and 3 girls in it.

one of the guys stuck his head out the window and said

Bro: take off! take off! take off!

so i decide to humor him, downshift take off, backfire, etc.

slow back down and he sais

Bro: what's it got in it!?

Me: 13b

Bro: V13 daaaaaamn! thats bigger than a camaro.

and that is when i died inside :/

SECOND one is just pathetic.

yesterday i pulled up at a red light (particularly long red light) next to a BEAT UP civic.

civic guy: oh ****, sick bruh! you selling it?

Me: selling it?(puzzled) uhhh nah

civic guy: v6 right?

Me: ummm yup.

civic guy: yeah, i just asked cuz i've been trying to buy a 240

so i got 2 horrible "what motor?" incidents in one month

Last time at the parts counter, I was there to get some belts. The guy was giving me funny looks when I hand over the parts list with description. He was looking at the "Air pump" belt ...
He: Whats with that air pump?
Me: Some sort of air compressor, its a wankel engine ...
He: Oh yeah, I see. These wankels ...

Another one:
A friend of me is sceptical about the Haltech I am installing into my FC (NA) S4.
He thinks that I will never be able to get that running ... There must be some kind of magic involved ^^
Lol, as if I am the first one to install a Haltech into a car. I mean I am happy that its not a Megasquirt
Although I had some troubles with installing the intercooler and intake manifold on his S5 Turbo 2. Well there are 2 worlds between both cars. Thats why I love simplicity
Nothing beats a car that is easy to repair in case you need to.
