i was just curious if you guys have ever jumped your 7? my brother used to have a first gen 7 and he jumped the all American canal with it and it shot the struts right through the hood it was pretty awesome. so if you have any stories like that it would be awesome to hear them

Me and my freinds go out a few times a year to this red cross car place that sells beat peices of junk for a few hundred and we take them and just jump the **** out of them until they can't take it anymore.
I dont think I could ever do that to a rx7 though. Maybe to an rx8, but just because I think they look like crap.

Not in a 7, once i was on a pizza delivery in a rich *** neighborhood. i was looking for the road sign going about 35-40 at night and the speed bumps happen to also be golf cart crossings that are about 2 ft tall i caught nice air but the engine lost a few pistons or something.never ran again. screwed up my pizza too. thankfully it was a $500 toyota Paseo, it was my drunk drifter on rainy nights...
Snow covered dirt road + icy patch + summer tires..... I hit the ditch with the back end and flipped the poor thing on it's roof.

i ramped my lifted 95 wrangler 4 feet off the ground. all the caps popped of under the hood and fluids where everywhere. few days later a friend tried it in his chevy truck and cracked his frame.

yea I have been close pretty much like everyone has with their first rx. I was driving down the main road in my town and I had just gone through an intersection after it turned green and i think the tires were a bit glazed over cause it had been sitting around for a while and it was raining. so anyways after getting it into third gear i think i gave it too much gas and the back end slid out and i was pretty much staring at the guy next to me freak out, so then I counter steared and then let off the gas and almost stalled it after getting it into control because I was a bit scared about crashing. but anyways since then i have had no problems and now i might upgrade to a turbo two!!

We got a nice jump over where i used to live, out in bumblef@$%. its at the top of a hill with a huge lip where the crossroad is. Hit it at about 100 in a piece of crap neon lol. Needless to say, we got some air. o ya, the cars struts are no more..
