New RX-7 Stud

well guys i just wrapped my 1st gen around a telephone pole because of shitty drivers on the road so im thinking of buying a 3rd gen(my dream car) . I was wondering why all the 3rd gens are always getting new engines around 70k. I was just wondering if they get engine problems around then or what the deal was. Ive noticed countless accounts of this and i was worrying that maybe a 3rd gen is a bad idea. Please make me think otherwise by telling me what happens to them. Thanks alot guys its greatly appreciated

Start off in the FAQ section, you will find answers to 99% of your questions there.

You're going to get told to search. If I were you I'd click the 3rd Gen F&Q's

getting a third gen is a bad idea for 99.9% of people.

More often than that, unfortunately.

Are there people out there who have never heard of Google?

everyone's been tired of it. Now the newbs are getting tired of it too. "Ohh, so that's why everyone took my head off 6 months ago.."

We need some type of automated system where if a post has the words "NEWB" "JUST BOUGHT A RX-7" or anything else like that it automatically posts the FAQ link. HAHA

No, we just need the mods to lock these threads with a link to the sticky at the top of the page

Also, how in the hell is it someone elses fault that you wrapped your car around a tree? Unless you were hit and pushed INTO a tree, it's definitely your fault.

I agree with this statement.

OP, I see that you just turned 17. I got my first one when I was 16 (22 now). I really didn't know any better when I bought the car and neither did my family. I knew I was a skilled driver and mechanic, but the FD was a whole new ball game. I fucked up a few times (cornering during turbo transition) and am lucky that I didn't get in any wrecks where I actually hit anything.

If I had to do it again, would I? Probably. I loved my first car, had it for 2.5 years, and felt sick after I sold it. So sick that it is a few years later now and I have another one (had to sell my TT 350Z that I had been building for 3 years to get it). I guess the moral of my post is, don't think of the FD as any other car. When you screw up, they bite back, and they bite back hard. Tricky sons of bitches, but the most fun I have ever had in a car. So, just don't jump into anything...because I really don't want to see another FD destroyed or anyone hurt because of the FD.

Can you guys imagine how bored you would be if it weren't for newbies? Honestly - you're not going to sit and post in old threads in the freakin archives or the FAQ...

So why not just help them out? Instead of spending 5 minutes bashing them, spend 5 minutes helping them search and point them in the right direction. Not that freakin hard.

If it weren't for new threads about old questions, we'd all be stuck in "all your base are belong to us" or AARotary threads... if you even remember them.

Lighten up - you were new once too.

Bump for the NEWB's that cruise in an hour from now.

The system could just look for the words 'reliable' or 'reliability'. No FD owner would dream of using those words.
