HAHA

 

when i pulled into my friends driveway i was sitting in my car with my friend messin the the carb, revving in up and wat not. i turn it off, walk inside and his dad asked me, "were u just mowing our lawn??"

"Nice porsche!"

coming from the guy at autozone "1.1 litre, wow. i think my john deer could keep up with that..."

 

Not so much of a weird thing one person says, but an observation.

Alot of the "tuner" car guys I talk to, with Civics, or 240sxs, or whatever, the more popular platforms, say they don't like the platform. They say its old, has a solid rear axel, and is a carbed rotary. (The forget that the beloved AE86 has two of the three of those properties)

But then lots of every day people, either casual car enthusiasts, the people that buy sporty cars, or just average people typically love the car. They say it looks cool, freak out on the pop-ups, and are amazed when you describe the motor.

So every one loves it except the car enthusiasts.

 

I have heard the piston thing before. I have had an argument eith the lady at the DMV about it, not suprising sence she can't be the VIN number right... it is an FB not F3.

I'm still stupid when it comes to these cars. I need a place to work on it at. Maybe i will get a house soon so that i can do an engine rebuild or something.

 

All of the older people I know; ie, teachers, parent's friends, etc... they all know the 1st gen. In fact, you can say 3 out of 4 of them actually wanted one when they first came out.

I hate the fact that more younger people are buying and knowing about rx7's because of Initial D and ****. When the same people who ask me about what kind of 7 I have, I would reply with "Its a 79' 1st Gen..." and their question after that is "Wait.. what? So is it a FC or FD?"
People tell me that I'm still young, 18, but I was around the rotary since elementry school when my brother had 5 rx7's.

 

several years ago one of my neighbors all but ordered me to get my muffler fixed. she even went as far as telling me to park my car on another block. problem is ... the muffler was not broken, which is what i told the mindless, yuppie *****.

 

Custom Stock Masserati Bone White PPG basecoat clearcoat paint? NOT.

 

The funniest thing I've ever heard, was my Dad telling me that this was the first car he had ever seen with the carb mounted to the transmission. And I love the guy out work telling me about when the second gens came out, they offered them with a V6 instead on a inline 6. Yeah, that was some funny ****, when I explained to him the difference between MAZDA RX7.........and NISSAN 300ZX! Dumbass.

 

was asked how much i payed for my fiero..

 

hahahaha

 

hmmm I'm surprise that no one said "how much oil does it burn? I hear they take quite a bit"

As far as the educating part, i'm always happy to explain whats under the hood. Lol I've got one of my coworker which doesn't know anything about cars, everytime anyone says anything about the sound of my muffler he says for me "Oh thats just the sound of Rotary" and I have to take it on from there .lol.

 

Someone told me they saw an NA 12a making 550 horsepower. I just went with it, acting like I hear about stuff like that all the time. lol

 

^^ your comment on the oil thing sparked my memorey, when i was in nyc at this place that sold car modles and car memorabila i found a rotary key chain (the one that spins) the the man at the chash register started talking about rotarys, and my dad was with me and they guy goes, " yea you know those new rotary engins in those rx8, the real neat engines" my dad goes "yea i had an rx7" then thy guys like ok and then hes like " those rotarys dont burn any oil!, i dont even think they put oil in to them" i looked at my dad smiled and my dads like are you sure mine burned more oil then gas" then then guys say yea so dose my camary. then we left.

 

"Whadaya mean its got no head" accompanied by a blank stare

 

guy at Kragen, "its a 2 cylinder right?"
me, "uh, sure, why not."

 

ya i went to the local advance to pick up pick up some NGK plugs and the guy is doings his thing looking it up and then he says "1.1 liter you can get more from a bottle of soda!, so thats a 2 cylinder right?" i just told him ya but ill take 4 plugs

 

OK, we need to hear the rest of this story. She actualy wouldn't believe you that it didn't have a piston engine?

 

^It wouldn't be the first time it happened, some of the stories I've heard the person had to go to the DMV two or three times before he found some one that overlooked the situation.
