I am 51 and a childish adult!!! I have many cars but the FD is my favorite. My wife won't even get in the car with me because I drive it like a maniac (18 year old). LOL

Bought my car when i was 21 not knowing much about rotories. In the past two years have made my own v mount, and rebuilt my motor myself thanks to the mazda trix video and kyle mohan. This car can suck sometimes but always pays off at full boost

bought the car when i was 19 knowing nothing about cars. Now 23, just recently started rebuilding the engine and medium street ported with all OEM seals. Will be fabricating my own V-mount and dual oil cooler set up with ducting.

Loving it every moment even though it is making my wallet skinny!

30, and new to the FD last year. Always wanted one, finally got one!

Had it brought up from texas, got screwed by the dealer with a blown engine, and almost put me off the project altogether! Now that it's rebuilt, I have no idea what I was thinking when I was going to pack it in!

44 & unemployed here. Have a `83 with a Cartech Turbo system which loves eating V8s, `85 GSL-SE ( DD) & my beloved `94 which is up on jacks right now with a new motor going in her. That `94 drives like no other car I have ever driven. If it was an average driving, good looking sports car, I would have sold it by now to pay some bills.

26, and I've had my FD for almost 7 months now. I've been a fan of RX-7's since I was a teenager and my next door neighbor had a VR 93 PFS tuned FD...that thing was soo sweet.
