lol I drove my RX for the first time in over 2 years......I got to work and had a huge grin on my face Nobody here really understood, but then only one person has any kind of a fun car (Plymouth Prowler) other than that it is all subaru's and honda's with the occasional lexus. I had my car in the shop getting ready to sell and when I picked it up the mechanic to me for a ride in it.....I was like WHOA WTF!???! lol It is amazing what clean injectors will do, plus having the car run right lol. It felt really nice when he only works on rotories and said my car was really fast for a stocker.

I just don't think most people can't relate to the joy this car can bring. I dunno, I am babbling like a kid......I'm 35 and in a professional job as a supervisor lol Just seems so odd to feel so happy over driving a car. That tight suspension that takes you wherever you point the car and that turbo rush at 4500 rpm......

Thanks to all for your pictures (Goodfella whose on my desktop.........for now ;D ) and inspiration to get it on the streets where it belongs......now to sell it lol :*(

 

I know how you feel trust me. I bet I'm not the only one

 

man this car has a spell over us. (LOL) when it runs theirs nothing like it. when it breaks and your emptying out your wallet to get it fixed you just want to get rid of it . but that next drive will get you hooked again.

everytime i drive my FD, i am happy just driving it around. hearing the boost, hanging the turns everything feels so right. my car is breakin down so i feel like i am too. cant wait till the end of this week to drop in my street ported motor

 

thats how i was hearing my car turn on for hte first time in a year and 3 months

 

Same Here When I Started With The T78. Spending Almost My Whole Paycheck Just To Keep It Running. Dont Matter Where I Go On The Weekends Sometimes. (although That Gas Prices Keeps Me Limited On How Far I Go)

 

Sounds a little like the movie "Christine"......

 

HAHAHA I never thought of that! My eyes are have some dark circles under them...........I didn't name her Christine though

GAS OMFG I Haven't filled up since super was $1.50 or so GOOD LORD! $50 to fill er up!

Well glad to hear the responses, thought I might have to start taking meds or something Wait...are any of you on meds?? lol kidding!!!

 

No but at the rate I am going I will be. i get one thing fixed and then something else brakes I am about tired of it but just cant seem to sell it. trust me I have tryed, I was ready to sell it 5 times in 2 years I have owned mine.

 

lol... you guys are funny... yes, I still have that feeling though. What a rush. It's just a blast to drive around. I notice I start driving her harder and harder the longer that I own it

it's especially fun when other folks are ogling over it

 

Thats the other thing I had forgotten, HOW MANY PEOPLE STARE! lol I am used to driving an Acura RL or a 93 Ford escort lol The only people that stare at the RL are old folks (no offense anyone) and the only people who stare at the Escort are mechanics

 

they stare at the escort because they know its a ford and will break any moment like lawers chasing ambulances!

i can relate to most...eh i havnt had anything serious break though, cant wait for that one

 

I love the lustfull stares others give my FD. It's like I'm dating a super model. Everyone wants to have their way with her.

 

my fingers, hands, and arms are all banged up from working on my FD almost daily the past 2 weeks, and my wallet is empty (even though I'm on a budget build!). To me it is 100% worth it. I know when it is running right and making power and all the right noises, I will be in 7 heaven.

 

I had to learn how to drive it again even! lol Last night on my way home I was going around a long sweeping corner on the freeway and a car switched in my lane forcing me to change lanes quickly. DAMN the thing is SO responsive and goes RIGHT WHERE YOU POINT IT! hahaha It had to look funny to someone behind me, I had one hand on the shifter so reacting then jerking back. The RL you turn the wheel and then a moment later it goes......lol Ah well it is all in the name of fun!

 

I hope I'll feel the same way like you probly next week PDX.
Getting my clutch & flywheel combo, gearknob, power steering and that damn diff clunking noise fixed.

I've never tried a fully working clutch FD before plus my mechanic said that my gear shift/**** isn't working properly.
Have been saving heaps for this D day. Keeping my fingers crossed

 

DAMN DO I KNOW THAT FEELING.............. im finally driveing my fd after almost 3years next month. damn even had to get an fc to keep me calm and from always running the fd since it still needs paint and plates.........he he!

 

and oh, I've been tru difficult times too. Went discouraged the other day,even planned to sell the FD and lost my hope. But thanks to Rx7club.com members for giving me countless supportive comments.
Now when someone ask me 'hey, is your car still for sale?'
me " nah mate, it's at the workshop getting some done-up" *with a huge grin on my face*

 

I know, the support is great here. I was ready to sell my car a year ago and saw Goodfella's sig and pics of his car and I decided to wait longer and see if my mind might change. It did, but I still have to sell it for now. I am hoping to sell it to my brother or someone I know so I can get her back someday. I just need to get rid of all my cars. Besides I KNOW if I keep driving it I am going to get some tickets lol. Speed is so hard for me to tell in the car, I mean I was in a 35mph zone thinking I was going the speed limit then looked down and saw 53mph =0 freeway is even worse, and I am not a hotdogger any more, the car just does something to me and I lose all contact with reality lol. Sounds like Christine alright!
