19, i am not really in a "go so f***ing fast" phase. i just want a fast car, not to go fast, but to go fast when you need it. a quality car to use every day, but one that will still make that guy down the street with the camaro to shut the hell up!...hehe

anyway, i just want an awesome car to wow pepl[after i explain what it is ;D], that is just fun to drive!

......thats why im looking into taking my rex off the road and getting another supra to drive daily :0

wow im 16 and i got 4 cars right now... half are rx's... then i got an accord for times when i need the 40 mpg (and ity can walk on a stock FC) and a crx to run low 14's when i need to beat camaros and such in a honda. Then I got the two FC's and im bridgeporting um and buying a T04 that needs a rebuild with a 75mm (i think) wastegate from a friend to do a n/a turbo conversion...
And I don't have a job either - I work on cars to make money!
Therefore, I am an inspiration to all 16 yo's everywhere LoL... And its time for me to get back to my motor swap

Currently driving a 87 base heavily modded from when I purchased it in June of 2002.

I fell in love with the "Rotary" while I was a young Marine stationed in Iwakuni, Japan in 1979.

It was a blast to drive on the left side of the road and to shift left handed (took some time since I am right handed).

Only about 15% of Japan is flat. Mountain driving is where it's at with a RX7.


Oh the memories (^_^)

I did some old school math and figure that I am 124 in rotary years . . .





really, an elder statesmen in this forum at the young age of 45. No, I do not need any more kids, have three sponges already.

34, I've been driving 7's since I was 25. I've had an '83 gsl, '85 gsl-se, and my current '88 gxl.

I must be one of the older owners in the crowd. And I'll be owning rotaries, until they nail my rotor shaped coffin shut.

:o)

I'm 48. I'm one of the old guys here. I've been into Rx7s since the fall of 1978 (1979 Rx7s Banana Yellow, first one shipped to Massachusetts). I have since owned a 1982 GSL, 1985 GSL-SE, 1988 GTUS, 1988 Ragtop, and now a 1989 Ragtop. I also am an Austin Healey fanatic (see below...)


My other weakness with 4 wheels...
