do u guys think it was worth buying ur fd?
 

if you had to go back in time would you still have bought you rx7? do u think it was worth buying with all the problems that folllow it?

I have had few problems and have never considered buying my car a mistake.

I think it was definitely worth it, and it hasn't given me anywhere near the problems people said it would, 5 years later.

Then again, the constant gold digging skank that doesn't realize my car is 10 years old, and I'm a broke dick, does get a little old.

Definitely worth it. I will allways love the FD even if it becomes obsolete.

i have a blown apex seal (join the club) but i still love the car and would do anything or spend any amount of money to keep it

I have a love hate relationship with my FD. I have been towed more times over the past 2 1/2 years than most people have in a lifetime. Everytime It get's me down I think of all the good times wev'e had together. All I have to do is get back in that driver's seat and realize how it's all worth it.

I bought it BECAUSE of the problems... Didn't everybody? :D

Hell yea worth it, 8 years of funn very few sad days, I don't regret a penny spent on my FD!

I was warned, mostly by my miata friend, and I still went ahead, and bought it anyhow, and allthough I've got 4X the amount of money in My FD (With Rerbuild)(After Purchase) I'll also have about 2X the HP... :D He's at 187 with 8 Psi. and I'm going to be pushing 400 @ 14 psi...

He still teases me on how much I've spent, but then I tease him for buing a clown car :D

Going on 6 years.
This is by far the BEST toy I've ever had.

It's also the longest relationship I've ever had :D

Wouldn't change it for the world. Any moment of discontent I ever have with the car is solved simply by driving it. I just can't help but smile when behind the wheel.

i may not be the best example since ive only had mine a month but i paid 10k for a 93 r1 with 85k miles and it got its share of problems(probably gonna end up costing around 2 grand to get everything running right) but i dont care how much it costs it will be worth it once i get it all worked out.

I've had mine for over 3 years and haven't spent hardly ANY money on it. It needs a new exhaust, so far that has been the only problem (since I was able to fix my leaking 'O' ring with block sealer).

Is it worth it?

Is pussy good? :)

Seriously, these cars evoke an incredible feeling. I can be is a pissy ass mood and all I have to do is go LOOK at my car, let alone take it for a spin to be happy as a clam, and to feel very privileged to own one.

Necks break to look at my FD. It's worth it. Some people think it's a porsche and that I have lots of cash. I wish the military paid that well.

Ive owned some, sold some, wrecked one, parted some, still own 2, and plan on keeping one always :)

These cars have given me more pleasure than I could put into words so I won't even try.

I regret buying my fd about as much as I regret drawing air into my lungs.

Damn Fritz... brought a tear to my eye :D

I was thinking the same thing!

Knee deep in it but lovin' it!!!! Even as she sits there covered in the garage for weeks at a time.

HELL YES! Im going to get another one too!

:withstupi

Another one ? What happened to the old one ?? :scratch:

Godzilla-T78

Fawkin' love the quote in your sig!!!

true true true!

*edit*

Oh yeah - worth it.

Preach on brother!! I honestly dont know how to explain the feeling of driving one, you just kinda have to be there and witness it in person to describe the feeling.I truely am lucky to own such a car.

3 years and going strong
 

I have had mine for 3 years. I knew what I was getting into. So far 68K on the original engine. Did all the reliability mods when I bought her stock. So far no problems. I plan on adding a PFS intercooler and replace all the vaccuum lines this winter.

I don't regret it. I don't think I could have had this much fun on what I have spent so far.

I've lusted for one since the day I test drove one in 93 like a 16 year old boy lusts for pussy.

I Finally got one this year and I wish I had just bought it in 93 and not had to suffer the other mediocre cars I owned in those ten years - 88 RX7 GTU, 88 TII/vert conversion, 95 BMW 325is...

Had I bought it in 93, I would have saved so much money from depreciation, repairing, upgrading and modding those other cars that I never planned on keeping anyway. Sometimes the sensible choice is proven wrong over time.

You know what I still lust for pussy like I did when I was 16, but now I have both :D

Pussy=good

My 96RX7=Great


My RX7 never complains when I stomp on the cas. What pussy do you know that dosent mind you beating it around from time to time?? Pussy complains, RX7 never once complained.I dont have to figure out some psycological thing with my RX7. I can change anything i want on my RX7 but i still have the same old pussy. But eather way my dick still gets hard:D

I feel ya partner my keyboard still hasn't dried out :)

I Say GODDAMN I love these CARS

Love my FD more than my woman. My FD has been down for 5 monthes now and I still talk to it every time I walk by it in the driveway, in a mater of fact I gave her a hug this morning and told her I love her and when I get her running again Im going to take her out for a nice full tank of 92 octan. We are planning a trip into the mountains this spring. Her and I with the wind in our face and sun at our backs its a time that cant come soon enough, speacking of cumming I think Ill do that when she cranks over.

Dude the FD is a passion you ether have it or you dont, if you dont then sell your FD to some that realy wants it.

Regrets!!!!!! I think not.....

Its not a money thing its all about passion....

I truly think that all the 3rd gen owners dont regret owner there car. i know i will never sell mine unless i get enough money for it. i got offered $15,000 cash i then said $20,000 no less, its not forsale:) if i did get 20k for it i would sell it and buy a 95 and mod the shit out of it :)

so far yes

I regret it every month when the car payment is due...
Then I get inside it for a little weekend drive and think it's worth every penny!

no regrets here. i have so much money in this car in mods and repairs, i lost count. The thing is i love puting money into it. Seems like everytime i mod her, she runs a little better. I think she likes it.

Love my FD. It's given me no trouble at all in two years of driving and autocross (fingers crossed :-)

If you're not willing to spend a little extra when your car breaks and fiddle a little extra to keep it at optimum, you likely don't need one.

If you like every babe in town to check you out and every guy to drool with jealousy, it may be a good choice.

Spanking $15k Hondas with $20k+ in mods is amusing too :-) Spanking C4 Vettes is fun too, if mine weren't stock I'd whip up on C5s. But heck, I whip up on them in twisty races anyhow :-) Went to a Corvette club autocross last year and beat about 3/4 of the field. I was the only non-Vette there :-)

Tubbs
Red `93 Touring (strictly autox and Solo I these days)

Something doesn't add up here... 20k in nearly ANY honda is going to make you cry. APC stickers and a wing doesn't = 20k. Go find yourself a few well built Integras and see if you get the same results. My 11K GSR with about 5K in mods ran 12's and handled like a cart.. ;) We won't even get into the spanking vettes thing.. :)

Me too, i love spending money on my car, Im not real sure what I would spend it on if I didnt have my FD...

You know...I have only had mine two years...Everytime I see it in the garage I start to jump up and down and do a cheer like some fucking little chick or something....So yeah, It was worth every penny...Looking back at it now there are only a few things I would have done differently...Just money saving wise...but I would still have a 7....I may have to get rid of mine because I may move back home but you can bet you ass that as soon as I move I am getting another one.

Financially, the 7 was a disaster...But that doesn't change the fact that I love her

with out a doubt its worth it... its becomming the most expensive toy ive ever owned, but every time i drive it, i like it more :)

ive owned mine for 2 years this month. im not gonna lie, im only 19 i cant afford the maintenance. I have paid for the mods, but my parents have helped me when the car needed to go to kdr.

they always joke about it being a money pit and stuff, but my Dad chose to get the car repainted this last winter when it was at the body shop for something else just because he likes it so much. slowly it has made its way into the only garage spot when 4 of my parents cars are sitting outside.

i dont think there is any other car i could have bought with the amount of money i had to spend or more that would have given me the same satisfaction that the fd does. i always look at it as i walk away from it at parking lots. sometimes i just hang out in the garage even when theres no work to be done, just to look at it.


it was worth it

in your sig, it says your going gt35/40, but now your saying your selling the car. Is the costs of the conversion too much for you? What gives?
adam

I am with Flybye on this one. Longest loving relationship of my life minus Mom and Dad. She's also the most expensive Ho but whow she still sits me back in the seat everytime I ride her.

:D

Re: do u guys think it was worth buying ur fd?
 

Yes. Yes.

I was just saying that I may have to move out of the country and go back to Jamaica (where I am now)...Can't import any cars older than 5 years old here...And it may be about 2 years before I have to move back so as soon as i get back i am taking it to gotham for the rebuild and turbo conversion. So no...not the price...I have been in Jamaica now for almost 2 months and decided that if I have to move back I would not sell it...I have a friend with a garage that I can leave it with...Can always fly back to the states 3-4 times a year to drive it...Even after all of that...Yes, still worth it...Too much blood, sweat, and time invested...Not to mention money.

I owned my first FD when I was only 19 and lost it in the same year to a drunk driver that hit me from behind. I almost killed the guy if it weren't for Highway Patrol showing up on the scene.
Now I'm about to pick up my 2nd one next weekend (Valentine's gift to myself). No doubts, no worries, not even a hint of hesitation. I know in my heart that it's the right thing to do and my feelings will never change.

I don't regret buying the car, although I do regret buying it when I did, and in the manner I did.
If I had it all over to do again, I would have tried hard to find a seven with a blown motor that someone was giving up on, and gone from there. Maybe I wouldn't have had any luck finding one, but that's what I would have tried.
I also would have probably bought it about a year ago(rather than 3), after I got more stable, than to have gone through as many life changes, as I did and have this car make me look like an irresponsible ass while my bills double, and repair bills triple.
When it works, there is nothing like it.
When it beaks, there is nothing like it.

Either way, it inspires more emotional response than anything i've ever owned.

well put.

I would have left it stock until it was paid for if I was going to do it again...because when it's down for mods, you still pay HIGH $$$ insurance to have it sit there and when you buy all the performance/reliability parts you still have a car note. :banghead:

ive had mine for a year and a half right now. Never regretted the purchase once.

Besides the arm and a leg I am now missing and all the other costs that come up with an FD, I don't regret at all.

Expensive, but worth it.

Absolutely love it. I miss it.

My FD was completly rebuilt and finished about a month before I left for the UK. I got here, and on the day I was to pick it up, a doctor f'ed up and accidentally cut my external iliac artery and vein during a routine appendectomy. He f'ed up so bad, I lost over 7 units of blood and almost died on the table...and lost the majority of the muscle of my lower right leg, along with full paralysis of it. I've slowly worked to rehabilitate myself since then...and although there's not much left of my leg, and my toes and foot are still paralyzed, I still have my hip and my knee.

Ever since I got screwed over, and that doctor almost took my leg, I've done nothing but try and rehabilitate myself for that sole reason. I haven't driven it in over 8 months now. I'll be able to drive...REAL soon. The FD is now fully registered in the UK, and that sucker is going to get real familiar with my new, rehabilitated leg...even if there's not much left of it.
