I have no idea how much I spent on my RX-7, but if I had to guess I think it's around 6-7 thousand. I keep on getting new mods about every 3 weeks. I have owned my RX-7 for 3 years and never had any problems with it.

I am 20 and I work as an IT Field Tech and an Inventory Tech.
I am still looking for an FD. The old '79 1st Gen just isn't kewl enough anymore. If anyone knows of any good deals in the lower right hand corner of Washington let me know. There is only one FD in Walla Walla and it isn't for sale.

I'm 20, and have had the car for about 1 year, and allready spent about $10,000 on modifications, done everything that I can think of (well performance wise) beside new engine and turbos. Last addition was the HKS twin Power, and I could not believe what a difference that it made, alot more power over the whole range and it really smoothed it out.

28 years old.

The cooler temperatures in Canada lets us age longer, so I should live to be 230 years old.

18 years old-full time biz-econ student and inside sales.
93 touring- daily driver for about 16 months now.

now that youve made me think about it, ive spent enough on the new motor, mods, and insurance to buy another fd that is probably in better condition than mine. and there is still a lot more that must be done...

damn that sucks.

Any of you planning to visit Europe, make sure you put colin's country - Malta - on your itinerary. Simply gorgeous.

Still wondering where you guys drive your cars wideopen on that tiny island of yours, hehe. Do y'all take the ferry to Italy for weekend drives? THAT would be cool!
