I have a 1990 GTU. I love it, it's a little slow for my taste, but it's near bone stock with no turbo. Kills those corners though.

I did have a 1987 s4 NA, intake exhaust radiator, cd deck, system.

love this car, and the looks, not that many, but more than most stock looking cars.

and of course the best, the COMMUNITY!!

satisfied? umm , yeah.. its only the finest automibile ever produced. there are really only two kinds of automobile.. theres the rotary and then theres everything else ive got an 87 N/A that ive slowly saved from a near end at calgary pick n pull, and i have never had more fun or felt more affection for an inanimate object before. i didnt give a rats *** about cars until i got my 7, now im a lil green rotorhead tearin thru junkyards, buyin parts cars, turnin wrenches playin the trial an error game.

truely the mos wonderful car in the world, an i can say a fat +1 to the comment about the community. RX7 owners are sick bastards, the whole lot of em. i learned all i could have ever imagined id need to know an rebuilt an fixed an near tore apart an put together whole cars simply using this forum, a haynes guide, an a link to a FSM that i got from this forum. truely a wealth of knowledge, and a great bunch of people

'90 Turbo II and this is my 3rd driveable FC. First was an '87 base, second was an '87 Turbo II, and now the '90. They're fun but expensive. Overly happy with them.

Expensive? For $10,000 you can get a 500+hp machine. That's not very expensive if you ask me.

1987 GXL (N/A at the time) It was SOOO fun to drive. I am in the process of a turbo swap though. It'll only get better from there...

1990 GXL N/A...it was a grandma car, sure it doesn't carry a lot, only fits one other person, and it costs you some money every once and again...but i wouldn't trade it in for anything else...it's almost 20 years old and still rivals some things on the road that come out now...gotta show some respect....

88 TurboII, and I love that car more than anything. Its a pain in the *** sometimes, but ive learned a lot from having it and it is SOOO much fun to drive.
Just remember that its a 20 year old sports car, and understand that it will need some love and money sometimes to keep it happy, and you will really enjoy it.
