I don't care that some loser in a brand new SRT-4 can pull on me, or that I get 10 mpg. I love this car and would never consider trading/selling it unless you wanna offer 30k :P This car (to me) is the sickest most unique car in my town. I own the only FC TII and I love the way they look. I can out corner any car in town... PEACE OUT

The only thing i hate about my fc is that i can't afford to buy it new tires and rims, and that it has to roll around on those sorry *** 14" winter tires.....

I like the fact that nobody knows wat the hell my car is, and if i wanted a car with no problems, i would've stuck with my mom's CRV.

Eh, Akira (My FC's name ^_^) and I are on a love/hate basis. Some days she's my baby, others she's a bitch, it all really depends on what happens.

i love my car most of the time...until when the brake hydrulic fittings strip, caliper bleed valve snapped off, rear caliper bracket so rusted it welded itself, the front hub also so rusted that i broke a rotor trying to seperate the two using a hydrulic press, changing the clutch, glueing back the cheap plastic vents, broken alternator, broken belt, bad thermostat, busted heater hose, leaky injectors, frozen calipers pistons.....

but in the end...the turbo puts a smile on my face..

too bad the ex didnt like it so much.......says i spend too much time on it and its still unreliable.....and she wonders why shes the ex

i have a 91 na and i just bought a t2.. yes these cars have problems.. but for a car thats over 15 years old it can still whoop alot of the newer stuff. as for putting a v8 in the car.. sorry , but the rotory has a feel to it.. i cant describe it . but its addicting. i love just driving it. my na is beat up but still pulls. i get in it and drive i forget everything .. its a great release from the world . as for the t2 .. with some money and time that car has alot of potential. i mean i could easily have a very fast car for cheap .. i mean a 3000 dollar sporst car can compete with the 40,000 dollar cars of today with almost a quarter of 40 ks put into it

ps plus these cars are rare ,, around where i live atleast. to me its better to be original. not to mention ,, atleast its not a honda!!

I loved my '89 GTU, even after I wrecked it. May she R.I.P.
I hated myself for wrecking such a beautiful FC.

I love my '89 TII, even if I can't drive it.

I hate the fact that I can't drive it.

I love sitting in it, doing nothing, just taking it all in and breathing the wonderful, distinguishable scent of the RX-7. I wish I could DRIVE it.

I love that I'll be able to resurrect her and she'll love me for it.

I hate the blown engine.

I love the sound which I only can dream of for the moment.

I hate the cracked rear-rotor housing.

I love... I hate... I love... I hate...

I hate everything about you--why do I love you?. Shitty song by a shitty band that describes me perfectly. Maybe not quite perfectly, I love everything about her too. And hate.

Love... Hate... RX-7... what's the difference?

yeah, I love my car. And I hate the money it is pulling from my pocket, and I hate the little things that I don't have money to do/fix. I started to drive my brothers protege around town, and people definatly don't look at you the same. When I'm in the FC3C, everyone wants to race and see what I've got. I just tell them I only do that on the track (really I just don't want to loose on a straight line). But in the protege, people just kind of look at me and say "look at that guy, he is missing hubcaps, and has that huge dent in the side". Then I flip them off and spin the front tires. JK.

I used to love my FC3S, it doesn't move right now, it may never move again, but I got dreams. I bought it for $800, it had hole in the exhaust, faded paint all over (It was blue and everyone thought i had a grey car), crappy tape player and blown speakers. I know everyone was looking at me wondering what that noise was, but I pretended it was because I had an FC. That was my first RWD and my first 5spd. I loved taking turns and ending up backwards or worse in the rain. Anyway, I love all my cars, even my Volvo station wagon, with the crank sunroof (probably got more *** with that car than anything else).

You know, it's not that I hate my car, but damnit, if you look at my sig, you can figure out why it pisses me off sometimes. Just edited it today for this magical moment. For more info, go to my thread titled "more tranny fun"

I'm still plugging away at cleaning up my 87 GXL, and there have been times I've wanted to kill it, especially while fixing all this god damn rust and knowing that in 5 years it's going to be "weld in new floor pans or scrap it". It runs pretty good once you get past the bad injectors, I love the carputer, and get a dopey grin when I'm pulling into work brapping loudly and parking next to everyone else's mundane Fords and Chevy 4-bangers. And it's red, the color of lust baby. w00t.

I know my wife definatly hates it though, because I'm always cruising the papers and such looking for a $100 TII or something along those lines to play with this winter.

what car's cooler? I mean, maybe an FD, but I've decided they're just too much $$. For an affordable sports car, nothing beats the rex, especially those of us lucky enough to have a TII.

i love it but i hate it because CANT OPEN THE DOORS FROM THE OUTSIDE. i busted somethin w/the tranny cuz its HESITATING AGAIN even though i got a new clutch, i knew i shouldnt have tried chirping 245 tires. i have no a/c. no p/s. no carpet so it gets HOTTER. speedometer aint working (got used to it). 1 bolt is missing from each seat. my cd deck skips everytime i pound the car, so i get irritated. windshield wipers dont work, well the usual not working PROPERLY CRAP. tranny needs to be rebuilt. hahahah BUT I LOVE IT!
