wARNING THIS FORUM IS BAD TO HEATLH

Reading too much can over stress your body.

This forum can be helpful however, it can also cause called "FDLITUS" with side affects prior to turning the ignition key, such as, thinking about all the RX7'S nighmare story's, which causes too much concern.

Most people find all symptoms are gone after the key is turned and the 7 fires up.

I had FDLITUS the other day, whilst in a MacDonald’s drive thru I started to hear, what appeared to be water bubbling under the dash, OH ****! (This was prior to engaging conflict with an EVO 7)

I immediately had FDLITUS and PANIC STATIONS started.

The queue was long in front but only two cars behind. I opted to move the entire car’s behind so I could get out. I DID NOT WANT TO BREAKDOWN ON MACDONALD’S.

So, I reached open roads and decided to turn on the heater to full to help reduce any heat build up.

Guess what? A leaf flew out of the vent and the noise stopped, WOW.

You have being warned!!!!!!!

Post you FDLITUS symptoms to share your experiences, which may help others to overcome their fears.


Best Regards...

One time I heard a loud clicking sound coming from the driver's side front....worried the crap out of me. It was there at low speed, but when I picked up speed, it would get linearly worse.

So I drove home very slowly, put the car up on a jack and turned the suspected wheel...and pulled out the big rock stuck in the tread of my tire

On my way home from LA to San Diego after 5 days of driving in LA traffic (3-5mph) My clutch started slipping when the turbos came online in 5th gear...I had no idea what was happening, but I was SURE it was something VERY VERY bad (motor/turbo damage)

Thanks to Maxcooper though I was able to breath a sigh of relief when he concluded it was only a burnt clutch....WHEH!!!

P.S. Just got my 7 a couple weeks ago...VR w/ 37k miles, perfect interior/paint 1k boston acoustics sound system and 3k invested in bolt ons and upgraded suspension (anyone know how to compress pictures? My pics of the car are 337k)
