Sitting at a gas station and this guy pulls up beside me and this is the convo

Umm dude you know your piston rings are shot?
What are you talking about?
Your car is smoking thats usally a sign that your rings maybe fried.
Sorry sir but i dont have pistons....
His jaw drops and looks at me which is followed by
How is your car running with out pistons?

And before i could say anything more he looks over at his buddy and says
This guy is running his car without pistons.
I looked at the guy told him to look at my laptop and brought up a vid on how rotarys are constructed.

The guy hung his head and walked away...

yup..also: "all RX7s smell the same"

Tyler [S5 FC]

^ haha, thats funny, I got that. I was at a Rx7 meet and another guy who has a FD and a FC. Well he gets in my car to check out some accesories, and sniffs pretty hard, and says, "Why do all FCs smell the same, its like they all have a built in air freshener"

Ever since, every time I get in a FC, I can smell it too. Its weird, but I agree, they do smell the same inside!!

I've had that too. Sends chills down my spine every time I hear it.
Frustrating and also makes me want to punch whoever said it in the face.

Every ******* car "buddy" of mine talks mad ****:

My unenployed 20 year old younger brother who doesn't even have a driver's permit: "i hope you like replacing engines every 30k miles.........."

His friend: That's going to catch fire. All rx7's catch fire. The seals in them go bad all the time

To everyone that comes over and asks to see it: "see guys, it's a 13b injection. This thingy here (looking at the afm) makes bees and injects them into the engine. At each pulsewidth of the camshaft past tdc wot, it shoots exactly 13 bee particles in and that's how it works!

Some buy it. Others know i'm taking advantage of their ignorance to make them the butt of my joke.

Either way, they drive hondas or whatever other little fwd econoboxes they have and i drive a rwd purpose built sports car with a pistonless engine. Doesn't get much better than this. It feels good to be unique for once. I know shopping for standard off-the-shelf parts at advanced auto is going to be alot of laughs..... It was for my eclipse. They kept ordering me turbo/4g63t spec parts when i specifically told them none of that **** will work in my car....... It wasn't fun or funny though because my dd was down and i needed stuff in a hurry.

It can't be difficult to screw up a rotary part order..........can it?

One time my friend blew the motor in his TII, ans we were sitting in the parking lot at a gas station and trying to get it to start. He called an auto parts store to order plugs and thew guy was like "So you need 8 plugs?" My friend said "No, only 4." The guy at the store, "Well, it says here on the screen that you need 8." My friend was like "Well there's only 4, it's wrong" and the guy just kept insisting there was 8 until my friend just hung up and called somewhere else.

lol thats funny....your joking right? lets put it this way....

i went to MAZDA to ask for an electrical condenser for my oil pressure gauge because it was blown to pieces when it got caught in the bell housing(story for another day)

the guy printed out a picture of the engine with all its sensors pointed out....he pointed to the coolant temperature sensor in the water pump, the sensor in the radiator and the sensor in the block and told me thats what i needed...remeber now...i asked for an OIL PRESSURE GAUGE part...

10 minutes later and an argument with the guy, his manager and finally settling it with the head rotary engine tech i left and never went back to the dealership

This stuff is too funny, I havnt had any yet only had it for about a month and a half

Napsterfreak15

probably bacause when exiting a corner even if the wrx is sliding he can still floor it because he has awd. Thats my guess.

depends are you a good driver? is he a good driver? if you can drive and he can to you might be able to give him a run for his money. wrx's aren't really all that. my buddy in his eight took a local one that thinks he is all bad *** by like two lengths. then everyone around started asking what the eight had in it. me and my buddy just kinda looked at each other and laughed.

My friend sam get this one alot,

"Think its loud enough?"

Hey I think your timing is off might wanna get that checked.

I was in a shop when a Rx7 pulled in and the owner and Mechanic started talking

Rx7 owner- "Hi, there is a weird sound coming from the axel and I dont know what it is."

Mechanic-*looks in engine bay sees motor and says* well sir I think i know what your problem is...You have no pistons, so I honestly have no idea how you drove this here.

Owner-*blank stare on face then in calm sarcastic voice*Sir uhm Im not saying you stupid, but if your gunna work on cars, at least know what a Rotary engine is buddy.

Mechanic-*confused* what the hell is rotary?

Owner-*gets in car and leaves*

it was quite funny, but it doesnt seem like it written out.

ok i just posted one but my friend just called and reminded me about the "incident" at our school.

Ok so last year there was a FD and FC at my school and both owners were in auto shop. The teacher worked for Mazda and was/is a ROTARY SPECIALIST. So I decided to go to the class and start b/sing with him and the Rx7 owners. I'll be J, the teacher will be T the FD owner will be FD and FC will be FC.

J-*talking to FD and FC owners*So you guys own Rx7 huh?
FD and FC- Yeah.
J-So *talking to them both* what year and kind are they?
FD-93TT
FC-89 20b.
T-20b? Theres no such thing.
*all of us look at him.
FD-what did you just say?
T-Mazda never made anything called a 20b, just a 13b.
J-So there is no such thing as a 3 rotor?
T-Yeah there is, and its called the 26b.
*in amazement*
FC-So whats a 4 rotor called?
T-There was never a 4 rotor made, just a 2 and 3.
J-So the 787b was a figment of my imagination?
T-No that had a single rotor.
*all of us shocked asked*-How the hell are you a rotary specialist and say there is no such thing as a 4 rotor and a 3 rotor is a 26b and the only other one is a 13b but the 787b has a single rotor?
T-Cause, I know the guy in Japan that makes The wankel Rotary engine.
*all of us shaked our heads and left*

Todays later he quit.

I live in a retirement community(hey dont knock it... cheap prices for huge condos)

So my neighbor stops me at the mailboxes(80 something year old man... ) and says:

"I love that car you got, Every morning I think I'm dead and it wakes me right up. I dont know why its so ******* loud but I love it, thanks."

Now the crazy lady across the street has completely different thoughts, I saw her talking to a tow truck guy the other day.
