What do you love about your FD and what do you hate?
 

I was watching Dr. Phil the other day and he was talking about what it takes to have a succesful marriage. This was when I came to realize that I am married to my RX-7. I will do anything and make whatever sacrifices that I need to to keep her happy and in return she fills my life with joy that is only second to sex. But like in all relationships there is always something that you just hate and then ther are the things that you love so much that it out ways the things you hate.

I was wandering how many others fill the same way I do about my FD and what are some of the things you love and hate about you RX.

I love the way it feels while driving it (when I had a chance to drive in it)

I hate the way it sucks money from my account

This is going to be a very popular response....

I love it when I leave my garage and see my car sitting.. and look foward to driving it..

I hate when I start thinking about when it might blow..

No sh!t.

I've had my FD less than a month and I've already spent $2500. I'm still looking at new shocks/springs, braces, tires, wheels, Apex'i Power FC, Racing Beat exhaust, stereo, alarm, turbo timer, etc., etc. There goes another $5000! :eek:

I love the look of it and the look of people's faces when they see it... I hate that FRICKEN clunking from the rear. I know I can fix it with bushings, but until they start giving them away, its gonna have to stay.

I love the looks/comments that I recieve while driving it, and absolutley hate "hey buddy, isn't that the car Vin Diseal drove in TFATF?"

same.. same...

I hate driving my FD in traffic!!!


93 FD

^particular reason?

I also hate that pesky voice telling you "this is going to blow up in 5...4....3.........."

Do the reliabilty mods, tune the car correctly, modify intelligently, and monitor the car: you won't just blow the engine for no reason.

Love how timeless the design is. Love the speed. Love the fact that it's a little different. Love that it's the perfect size for me. Love how the side mirrors stick out.

Hate the paint chips on the hood. Hate that my side bolsters wear out. Hate checking the oil all the time. Hate how the the dipstick is so hard to get to.

i hate how the damn interior parts are 11 years old and are breaking........

Love the styling and the performance, love the looks and comments it gathers nearly EVERY time I take it out, love the "unusualness" factor of the rotary engine, love the twin-turbos, love looking at the race-car like chassis......

I hate the.....uh the.....uh.....

Hmmmm, can't think of anything to hate about it! :D

I hate always having a few small things broken.

I love the looks, the speed, the layout of the "cockpit", the handling, the respect the car garners, and the satisfaction I get from fixing the things I hate ;)

I love the way a big single turbo looks under the hood.

I hate the placement of the stock fuel filter....if i ever get my hands on the the guy who decided to put it there....:mad:

i love everything about my car except the fact i cant/wont drive it in the winter. I dont even mind going into debt for the car and mods. It is so worth it!

I love getting under the hood of the car and tearing everything out to install something new and then the anticipatoin of that first drive with a new mod.

I hate how the steering wheel hits my knees and how much gas she drinks.

I love most things about the car, and I don't mind working on it (a lift would be great, since it would be so much easier to do a lot of jobs...)

What I'd really like to have, but don't see an easy way to get, are:
- adjustable pedals
- a tilt/telescope steering wheel
- more headroom (it's fine until I put on a helmet)

Love the feel, speed, handling

Hate the unexpected, rattles and squeaks

I agree. Nothing chaps my ass more than squeaks.

love everything about it.
hate the bad luck i have with it. ive been hit 4 times...

I love having boost
Hate when i dont have boost
over all... God i love her!!!

I love:

- driving position
- cockpit layout
- looks of the car
- handling
- acceleration
- braking (on street)
- driving a rare car

I hate:

- very expensive to mod properly
- poor paint durability
- having to watch the temp gauge all the time in summer
- rate at which rear suspension bushings fail
- the incessant squeaks and rattles from the interior
- gas mileage around town
