27 with 3 FD's now, got my first RX-7 (an all stock base 93' VR) at 16...I'm getting so old..

 

I'm 25.767 years old, and a mechanical engineer for a nuclear power company. My first rx7 (88 se, automatic, super slow) was given to me by my soccer coach when I was 15 after my 86 300zx was totalled. After the coolant seals failed on that (had less than 50k miles on it and I gave it to a junkyard :/... ) my Mom helped me pick up a TII 2 years later and have been driving that until this year where I sold my M3 to buy my dream 94, 51k mile FD...which so happened to have the coolant seals fail too .

 

34, i have my RX7 since i was 21

 

You are so correct on this. I pull and install my own motors. I know the rats nest like the back of my hands. I have installed 2 clutches, 4 sets of coil overs, 3 sets of suspension, 4 fuel pumps, roll bar, 3 turbos ... I could have paid someone to do it but for some sadistic reason, I like doing it myself.

There is a form of reward knowing that very few people on the planet who can do this. The thing too is that if you screw up, it's cheap to fix things (engine $4000, transmission $500, turbos $1500). Try that on a Ferrari 360 F1, the hydraulic pump for the transmission is $10,000. Just for the pump.

 

24. I'm a CNC machinist and programmer. I'm on my 2nd single turbo FD with all the trimmings.

Time is accelerating at an alarming pace

 

"cheap"

 

for a ferrari owner of course a rx7 would be cheap, because you have enough money to own and maintain a ferrari, but to most owners like ourselves, not so cheap

 

Ha this thread. I dont even remember if I replied to it before.

40 and work from home IT tech support.

I've had my 93 FD since like 96 or 97. I graduated HS in 92, so a brand new $40k car wasn't exactly going to happen.

Havent spent much on her past few years as the house has been needing love. She has about 91k miles.

 

Pretty sure the Guru Cam Pettit's 60th birthday is today.

 

I'm 24 years old. Purchased my '92 jdm FD when i was 20. I have been constantly breaking stuff and fixing it with better stuff for a little over 4 years now and I love every minute of it

 

Will be 27 in January. Had a FD many moons ago (for over 5 years), transitioned to a Viper then Gallardo and now own a LP640. Work in finance and own several companies.

 

I'm 26 and on my 4th and hopefully last FD. My work is being a professional bum.

 

I'm 22, got the fd 5 months ago.. went from stock to single turbo within that time. I'm an instrumentation technologist.. I also have many other toys like:
Lifted ford f350
Crf 450 dirt bike
Kx 125 dirt bike
Yamaha rx1 snowmobile
Yamaha 1100 seadoo
I thank the oil field for the money lol

 

You sir are a BALLER!!!!! Can't wait to see what you have in 5 more years

We need pics

PS Which way is the market going in the next 6 months

 

I'm 27, I have only owned my RX7 for about 7 months but have owned MANY other cars including what in my signature and 24 other cars. This one is by far my favorite!

My goal is to be like purerx7 some day of course! :-) An LP640 or Aventador would be AMAZING!

 

haha...thanks Fritz. Here is the timeline of my cars over the past few years:

FD...first car and had for 5 years


Viper (had for roughly 10 months)


Gallardo (had for 3 months, hated it)


LP640 (Absolutely love, won't be going anywhere anytime soon)


I didn't grow up with much, so it is nice to be able to enjoy and appreciate all of my hard work. No new cars for awhile, maybe besides trading my 2012 XJL in next year for a 991 or Ghost, we will see how my relocation to LA goes.

 

I'm 26 Years old work for the Army as an IT Specialist. I have owned 6 Fd's and worked on probably closed to 40 Rx-7s. I was born in a Rotary family so my dad has been racing wankel engines since the early 90's. I bought my first rx-7 when I was 15.

Purerx7 if your looking to adopt any kids I would be a perfect condidate. I Always told myself I would own a lamborgini one day. Very nice!

 

Simply GORGEOUS!!!!

Understood, rising above that beast won't be easy

PS Please post more pics as time permits

 

That LP640 is absolutely amazing! I am in the same boat with you, I drove a Gallardo and was not impressed at all! My dream would be a LP640-4 SV in Orange.

 

30 years old, owned the RX7 FD for 1 year now and hate/love it.

 

That LP640 is complete sex!

 

50 years old (...).
I have had the FD for 7 years and 8 months.
Thewird has it now and will be doing a rebuild soon.
Engine was still running, dumped oil... We'll see exactly what is going on soon.
I love this car and will never part from it. At the cost of keeping it parked in my garage.

 

You sir, are doing it very right!

 

I'm 26 , work In the Oil Field
Around 5k ish a year, cost me more last year
Because of the rebuild & engine mods
Had it for 3years now
Crazy how time & money fly by so quickly...

 

I'm 47, a Construction Site superintendent and have had my FD for the past 12 years, replaced my Ex-wife with it and absolutely no regrets , like all of you on here I've dumped a lot of money in it over the years and don't ever plan on parting with it.
