After taking someone for a few laps around Mosport...

"I want one, how much do they go for?"

this thread is awesome!!

I really cannot wait to finish my engine.. I have never even been in a fast rx7.. fastest i've ever been or driven is a 335i with 420hp@the flywheel, which weighs like 3800lbs.. and it was insane.

thats when the insane HP bug hit me, i just HAD to have that X 10000000.

 

I've only had my FD for maybe 2 months and it is far from complete, but I was driving to my friends house and this women stopped me at a stop sign to ask for a deli near by when she interrupted herself and said. "WOW thats a really nice car... you need to give me a ride in your car" To which I replied "I would love to but I have no passenger seat" long story short. She still insisted on a ride and sat on floor of the car with all my tools parts and fluid bottles (she actually broke a turn signal bulb) in her high heels and cocktail dress. All I have to say is "I cant wait to see what happens when I'm done with the car"

 

wow...thats hot

 

a guy at work drives an rsx and thinks its awesome, i offer to go pick up pizza b/c we're working late. He says he wants to go, I start the car in the parking lot and all he says is "whoa, this thing is a beast"

Then i do a quick second gear pull to like 6k rpm (which is like half a second haha) and he says "this thing is crazy" didn't leave town, but now he wants to go on the highway to see what it can really do.

everyone at work calls it the batmobile, haven't really taken anyone out yet though.

 

I've gotten the whole batmobile thing to since my car is black. one day I will just buy the mask and drive around like that to see what happens.

 

I finally got my FD 2 weeks ago. After 10 years of chasing, losing, and dreaming, I picked one up.

Yes, my friends think its pretty quick, which it is. Granted my buddies own a 400hp FC, supercharged 07 Mustang, and a supercharged S2000.....so the crowd is a little biased.

Unsuspecting people usually **** themselves. Took a friend for a ride who has a Cobalt..... all he said was "Holy ****!!"....

I currently live in NJ so twisties are few and far between. I will be driving her back to WV with my new suspension setup, and it will be a blast I'm sure.

Great thread BTW!! Makes me smile that I own a FD....... Amazing cars...

 

Last fall I took one of our longtime customers for a quick spin. He's retired- a cruising sailor who travels between Maine and Florida on a quite substantial sailboat. So he's hanging out talking about my" old carrera this and my old carrera that ", and I guess I just got a little immature and asked him if he would read me the air temps during a quick tuning run. Sure, why not? What is this anyway, he asked. It's a '93 Rx7 isaid. It has a rotary engine. It's pretty small but has a lot of power.
I did a second gear through half of third pull down a very smooth two lane road where the trees formed a canopy and you felt like you were being shot out of a cannon. Christ, he dropped the friggin PFC on the floor and was pawing the air like a cat playing with a string....
He stopped by on his way to Florida two days ago. I was driving my work car, a Peugeot505 station wagon, and asked him if he needed a lift to the parts store. He looked at the car, looked at me and said "no I'm okay"

 

Most people that ride in my car are in pain after they get it out. My wife won't ride in it anymore. Taking off in a method that actually gets traction is too much for her neck.

I took my mom for a ride in and she thought it was a blast, but I told her to actually put her head against the seat before I took off.

 

"ITS SO ANGRY!" my brother inlaw and army buddy Bain.
"dude...i hate you...." my friend Tony
got to love it

 

"Holly **** this thing is fast" My Dad
"**** ME!" Of all people My Mother
"I LOVE THIS CAR!!" Close friends
"**** You you *** hole now I want one"
"How fast we going?" My partner while racing a 911 and Audi R4 i think they are called

 

That's funny you say that because everyone calls my car a batmobile and it just so happens that this past Halloween I decided to dress up as batman. Leaving the store I threw the mask on and drove home with it on the whole way. I got some hilarious *** reactions from people.

 

What a wicked Idea. Might do that sometime over here in good old New Zealand.

 

i took a few new Indian(far east) guys out once or twice.
the common response was (while boosting) "omg slow.. om..slow slow slow slow" he couldn't get "slow down" out fast enough. my sister slid down in the seat and covered her face just like when you've reached the apex of the roller-coaster ride and start to descend.

while out tooling around with a random girl, she asked what the "squeaking" was when shifting gears. ...she didn't last long t all.

 

Oh yeah, since i'm pushing 18psi and have the HKS blow off valve that just screams, everybody is like what is that noise?

Also, since my wideband is on the steering column they always ask about it, which always turns into me explaining all about detonation and crap. then they are like "oh". hahaha

 

My two new faviort quotes

"This really sucks cause i can't hear my own thoughts"

"Why There are so many dumb *** stickers in the window"

damn i love messing with peoples minds.

 

Save for contingency prizes... why are there so many dumb stickers in the window?

 

Not trying to be sarcastic... why DO you ave a bunch of stickers on your windows?

 

Cause it looks good!

 

Girlfriends dad: "Yea Ive been in a bunch of 400 horse power muscle cars",Take him out and do a quick 1st threw 3rd gear pull, he starts laughing hysterically and says "thats alot of ******* power for a 1.3L".

Girlfriend: screams "STOP" any and every time I go WOT.

friend: 1st threw 4th gear wot run, going threw 2nd he screams out "beeeaaaaaaaaaaaassttt", after he says "This thing pulls as hard as my boss's 911."

brother: I have never been in something like this.

dad: going threw 2nd gear wot he says "beautiful"

and many other numerous friends that laugh hysterically during any wot session.

My car has pfs airbox/intercooler, pettit ecu, downpipe, rb catback and running 12-10-12 boost pattern on 2x halman pro rx mbc's.

 

So far, the only reactions I've had are "Where is the handle to get out" as well as "how do I open the door?"

 

"are your tires bad? the back of the car keeps going sideways"

"NO WAY! I thought we going right for that tree"

 

My friend Kenny said... " It's a motorcycle on 4 wheels!"

(Bone stock with 18X10 3 piece wheels in the rear)

 

Took an old friend out in the 7, a girl I've known since freshman year of college. we came out of her neighborhood and she was talking about her job or something. I make a left and drop the hammer up through the top of second gear and she starts yelling "AAAAAAHHHHHHH Don't kill meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!"

 

''**** you daniel, my *** that its a 1.3 ..." a few piston friends :P

'''' two friends when they look at the speedo

''brake...brake...brakeeee!'' a friend who lost all skin color after going WOT in 3rd
