Today was the first day that I have drove my FD in 1 year.
after disassembling the rats nest and replacing all the vac hoses plus some block of plates, MY RX7 lives again.
most important though. thanks everybody that helped me figure things out when i did not know what to do. and most of all thanks to Ray Crowe at malloy mazda for all those hard to find small parts.

Damn, a year? It's been like 6 weeks for me and I'm getting antsy. Glad to hear you're running again.

 

I Havent drove mine since Nov. I just started it up Monday. I am going insane. My car is saying "Just do it, just drive me" Maybe in a couple weeks.

 

Ive had mine for 1 year exactly now after an engine fire, soon to be running though, just ordered my last part...clutch sooo excited!!

 

Been about a year for me also. . .my wife just had a baby, and it's actually given me much more time to be home with the family and car. Hopefully I'll be posting something similar in about 2 weeks. . .I'm almost done.

Congrats man, you must be happy!!

 

hey dude thats great to hear im in a 2nd gen, just browsing the site. thats really sweet to hear i hope u all have good luck with getting them running! i had a lot of prbs with mine but i hope its done for right now im me if u want to hear what i went through.

 

I was without my FD for a week, and I was going crazy haha. Good to hear its back on the road!!! Now the fun begins again

 

Going on 13 months for me. And I am only at the 40% mark. Have a transmission to re-assemble and a ton of parts to clean before I am at the half-way mark.

Congrats!

 

its been almost a year for me as well. i drove it a month last year and it was almost a year before that also. i think i have one of the least drivin fds around...lol. damn gremlins

 

My bro wrecked my FD on Dec 21st. I just got it back from the shop on Thurs. and now its back in the shop for some complications with the car. I didn't have any problems before i brought the car in and now new things popped up. I only got to drive it for about an hour. Man I hate car shops. Hopefully I will get it back next week with no problems.

 

good luck with that jlspeed7
i hope that they are FD qualified......
not the easiest car to work on.

 

Its going on three weeks for me, I had a fuel leak and i finally have the parts to fix it and the weather turns and snows. I can't understand how you guys can go a year without driving your car, I wouldn't last. By the way congrats on getting your car running.

 

I havent driven mine in like 2 hours and I still cant wait to drive it again...
