why i chose the fc was because of three things.
1. i was curious about the engine.
2. i loved the way it looks because of the rarity.
3. Initial D did play a factor

1) Almost- as in, he has another car, but its such a beater that he only wants to drive an fc. Except he has an "unreliable" fc, so when its in the shop he drives the beater. werd

2) Oil Two Times- Wow, this is not gonna be easy. The oil 2 times is forever in travel... no. Okay, I got it. Since it consumes oil, you have to add, or change the oil twice as much..... or he does, anyways, so what he is sayin is, "I have to do twice as many oil changes for the entire life of the car (Forever in travel.) Bam!

3) 90 octanes- He uses 90 octane gas

4)Really, the better machine what I have- So out of my two cars, this is the better one, even though the reliability of my seven isn't as good as my beater, I still love my fc.

Your welcome

I chose mine because I wanted to turbo a convertible. I dunno why, I just wanted a convertible.

Even if I had a ton of money to buy anything I wanted, I'd still own an FC.

Ohh, this ones easy. Where he originally wrote "but the oil 2 times is for ever in travel and the Regular gas (90octanes)"

Combined with "2strokes OIL..... ma mistake, untill now I`m use, full reliable"

Means, "I've been using 2stroke oil along with 90 octane gas. Which I now use and will forever in travel (until she poops out on me). Which in return, has shown to be quite the reliable 13B."

1. I'm generally a big *******, and I like to think of myself as an elitist. I'm a graphic designer, I ride a fixed gear bicycle, I talk **** whenever I get the opportunity, hence owning a rotary powered vehicle seemed appropriate, as there are few individuals who can appreciate the FC's for what they are. I saved all my lunch money and paychecks for a long time before purchasing my first FC. Commitment, son.

2. Honestly, if I was better off and had more assets I can tell you I'd easily drop $20k on my FC's no problem. Yeah you can buy a boosted car for a bit more, but there doesn't exist that "zen" factor that the 2nd Gen RX-7 has. That and it has beautiful lines with a very dedicated group of enthusiasts.

The Rx7 has got soul, it takes your breath away, your heart beats a little faster just knowing that they exist. they may not be the fastest, most efficient or even the best in their class - but they were designed and built by people who loved them, and we cant help but love them back.

The fact that they have a Wankel and are fagile adds everything, makes these cars timeless.

You can drive a Rx7 and feel good about yourself, (imagine driving a BMW and everyone thinking your a dick).

I picked the FC because when i was little i used to draw my cars the same outline as the FC. Plus when my father bought his 88 SE and rebuilt the engine, he showed me how a rotary works. Once he showed me i felt the design was much better than a piston engine any day.
