Going on 3 years now, and it still makes me smile everyday that it's running.

21 Years 4 Months. I Bought It Brand New. I Got It In The Summer Of 1986 Right When The Turbos Came Out As 1987 Models. Almost Sold It When My Kids Were Little Because It Wasn't Very Useful. Customized It 3 Years Ago, Glad I Kept It.

I bought my first RX7 in 1994. Since then, I have owned 5 (all FCs). I have owned my 10th Anniversary since 1996. Definitely an obsession...

14 months for me... a year plus a couple days since I got her back from the engine rebuild. I am still in love

and mine is absolutely NOT a drift car. I want to learn to drift in her, but when doing spirited driving, I prefer driving grip and finding the limits of what I can do with that.

Had mine since august. I hang on to cars about 4 years then switch up. I think i might hang on to this one though. If i do, i'd probably have to get a FC coupe for the days when it rains hard.

My sister bought my turbo new and I bought it from her in '97. I bought my vert from the owner of FC3S.org in '04. My sister sure took better care of her car than he did. They are both sweet though.

Bought my S4 vert in '99 with 165,000 on it from the original CA owner. I now have 236,000 on the original motor. Smoking a little on startup.

Owned the 87 TII for about 4 months. 112,000 on that one.
