lol i DO!!.. i need a fricken new motor... water seals went bad.. and my water pump is leaking so i need a new one of those... god... what did i get my self into.. lol... opn my rebuild im planning to do it myself.. so i was wondering with the kits they sell from that aviation place are pretty good.. also... how much power should i get from jus stock rebuilt internals and a medium streetport.. adn one last thing.. how long would the stock water/oil/apex seals last if it is properly broken in and with synthetic oil after breakin last if it is being used on the weekends for mountain racing average 10 minute runs... 2-3 runs each weekend... 5-8k rpms average?... sorry for the tech questions but i have been sewrching and found nothing.. thanx

 

i dont hate mine, but i drove it yesterday for the first time in a few months, and i wasn't that pleased, i feel guilty. I love it and i used to love to drive it, do i need a smoother running/looking car, ir was i just tired?

 

maybe i'm just bored of street driving? i want to race it, but know better than to race on the streets.....so is that is my dilemma?

 

I have a love hate relationship

 

Love mine except for today, A/C went out in 96 degree Florida after two frikin hurricanes.

 

Hate it and love it at the same time. i could never sell it unless someone wanted to trade me for a mint condition FD (hint hint)

 

do yourself a favor and talk to Kevin Landers at R&R before you buy a rotary aviation kit. I bought one for my rebuild and it wouldn't seal up to the used rotor housings. Luckly Kev had some 3mm mazda speed seals that he used and the thing runs strong as ever. So before you use those seals on used rotor housings you should talk to him.

 

I hate the fact that I want another FC....but I'm still trying to restore the base model I currently have.....

 

I have a love hate relationship........I hate spending money on it all the time, but I love to drive it.

 

hate it when it breaks , love it when it can pass other cars like its standing still

 

Hate the bitch

 

Give me a decent cliff or an incerator and I would be giving it a shove right now...then quickly sprinting to pull the e-brake in retrospect to my hastefully made decision....then upon reaching the car saying ahh **** it......then at the very last moment throwing my body underneath the front wheels saving it from disaster and crushing my internal organs...... yes I think that is how it would all transpire.

a pain i know so well

 

 

I Wuv Mine!

 

ok thats it all of you are crazy. we have a one of a kind car with a one of a kind engine. love it of leave it!

 

hm.... since we are in the RX7 club, 2nd gen section..... i wonder why all the hate =D

anyways....
i guess i am a lucky one who has a GREAT and RUNNING FC TII... has the power that i want and need..... perfect handling (hey, better than any other car i've driven yet)
and my AC works =D

only thing i dislike is my broken interior pieces.....

but if u can't tell already... I LOVE my FC..... (as i said to all of my friends.... i'm gonna drive this, rebuild it, restore it, until i am 40 and get an Audi as my "Secondary" car, assuming i have a wife AND kids) =D

well, keep the love comin!

 

if you hate it that much just do a v-8 swap...prob will cost just as much in the end, and it'll be a hellova lot faster...but everyone here except for like me a 2 other guys will hate you.

 

i hate my FC. but its paid off... and parts are very cheap and readily available for FC's.

i wont go into debt just to own an FD. and if i did, what would i do if i blew my turbos... pay 450 bucks for a good USED set? what if my transmission screws up, how much more are those than a good TII trans?

if i could do it all over again i'd have gotten a near mint car to begin with (mine has a salvage title from hail damage and nasty half-missing blue interior) i think the thing that bugs me the most about my car is my blue faded half-missing interior. and i dont wanna pay like 350 bucks for a complete black interior i'm not buying another rx7 unless its in very very good condition.

 

Jacobcartmill - For about 100 dollars worth of missing interier plastics, and some inginuity with Vinyl dye, naugahide (imitation leather), fabric and carpeting, you can get your interior looking pretty nice.. granted, it's not as nice as a true, OEM black interior, but with mine, unless you're closer than 1.5 inches from the surface, you can't tell that I dyed it. . IT may hold you over until you can get the complete interior


To stay on topic. I REALLY like my FC

 

i guess they are not that bad, my friend, who isn't really into cars. and bought a BMW because it is the standard issue yuppie car*, likes the fc's. so i guess they are cool.

*jealousy implied

 

ive had mine a couple few months and besides waterpumps going out replacing clutches and a blown moter .....its the coolest car ive ever owned ..i love it and im just saving money to get my moter rebuilt ......

 

Eh, can't afford it, but can't sell it (so much money into it with the rebuild & such).

It *is* very nice to take out late at night and just whomp on, though. The trick is not getting speeding tickets in the process.

I really don't drive much, and I use my sub-beater for a lot of stuff (hauling things) around town, but it's nice to get into (for me) a high end car every now and then.

I love my FC!! (I just drive it like I hate it...) I've put a little money and time into this car and it gives me more smiles per mile than anything else I've ever driven. So what if the interior is kinda ragged? If it starts bugging me I'll fix it. Same goes for the body. In the meantime, I'm just racking up the miles. (Unlike my last car that I spent more time underneath than driving.)

 

Your always telling people to put a damn v8 in thier cars. You need to join some other forum dude. Maybe granny's speed shop forum or something.
