I'm 16, I live in AB and I got a 1985 Rx-7 GSL-SE for my first car. No one in my direct family has had a rotary before, but my uncle had an r100 or whatever the first ones are called. So I don't know to much about Rx-7s so anything about them would be great.

 

You've got a somewhat rare, first generation fuel injected RX-7. Your uncle's R100 was in fact a rotary, but had a carburetor. Be sure to read as much as you can about any sort of common issues with first generation RX-7s in our First Generation forum section, as well as surfing the internet for knowledge.

 

congrats!!! i was in the same position like 6 months ago (well im was 17 but w/e)
the one important thing that just about everyone can agree on
is that you will be broke for a very long time...

rotaries can be hela expencive, espesually if you wanna have fun

 

nice choice

 

good luck to you.

Hi, congrats on your first rotary

 

Wow, talk about getting it right the first time! I just bought an 85 GSL SE, but I've had many many cars in the past. This is my first car for fun/hobby. And since I don't know what your family situation is, let me play the role of father, look sternly at you and say, "Don't break any laws and DRIVE CAREFULLY".

 

transmission and engine problems ahead..

 

Welcome to the club. I just got my first RX7 at 44 years young. Driving this baby makes me feel 16 again. What a thrill.

 

welcome and take care of it

 

Welcome, I am also new here and got my first rotary 1993 is my avatar

 

Not to be rude, but are you sure your avatar is a 1993 RX-7? It looks more like a second generation, which (to my knowledge) wasn't made anywhere in the world in 1993.

 

you and me are in the same boat. so far this is the only thing i have learned don't go to mazda for parts if you like your cash.

 

True! lol

 

What's the plans? Welcome and good luck.......

 

Ohh, you're one lucky man. Wish i had an rx7 for my first car

 

hi
back when i was buying my first car my dad didn't let me get a sports car with a manual gearbox
he was saying i must learn to drive on an automatic commuter first
make a steady progress getting good at driving.
don't rush into risky situations if you are not comfortable

 

Take care of it. You a one of the kind rx7

 

Holy crap bringing my thread back from the dead. Old guy hit this one on me bent the frame. Got doubled what I payed. Miss it I'll buy another but for now I have my 90 base.

 

Lucky to have a classic

 

R100's are smexay. There is a guy I buy parts from here in Texas that has 3 of them, one with 14k original miles

 

Congrats on the car!!!

 

my first car is a rx7 also, im new to the rotary world!

 

i'm 17, and the '90 gxl na i've got is my 5th car. Actually, my first car was a '93 miata, so.. maybe you'll find something that sticks quicker than i did. have fun, but not too much, because your wallet will murder you and violate you in unforgettable ways

 

Does nobody read through?


THIS CAR WAS HIT AND NOW I HAVE ANOTHER
