How about this one for some laughs.

I was at the local meet. ANd this Mustang guy says," who did your body work?", They didnt even center your hood scoop."

I was like OMG.
It IS a ORIGINAL hood. AND ITS functional unlike all the vent on ur gay *** mustang.

driftingmyFC

this wasn't exactly about my fc but it was a conversation in class at uti.
teacher is explaing how reed valves work on a AC compressor and he says that two strokes and rotarie engines use it too.
kid in class: is that why rx-7s use two stroke oil? I saw a guy measuring oil at the gas station and he told me that his engine was just as a two stroke engine.

teacher: I dont know

me: laughing, Not al rx7s do that, and rotaries dont have reed valves,I know cause I have one and I have to premix too because I have an engine swap in mine and is a must to save my apex seals cause I disabled my oil injection ect...(s5 into s4)

teacher and the rest of the class looking at me with a confused *** faced

me: just go on to howstuffworks.com and see for your self, so teacher shows an animation of the internal combustion in the projector for the whole class to see and the rest of the guys finally get it.

I though this was funny. especially hearing rotaries use reed valves from a uti instructor

Damn so u pay 1,000's of dollars to get taught by idiots?

Drakelee

did a power point on rotaries in some lame strategies class, trying to inform the general public. in the presentation i said only Mazda uses them anymore in the RX series. afterwords two kids approach me and say

Kid 1-"man you love those things"
Kid 2-"do you have one?"
Kid 1-"yeah man he has an rx7" (now although i have a 7 he has never seen it nor have i ever informed him of it)
Me- "how do you know i have one?"
kid 1-"you drive it here everyday"
me-".....that's a Nissan 240"
Kid 2 walks away, kid 1 stay and tries to save himself from looking like an ***, to bad i stopped listening and wondered away.

Glass Machine

Just on sat day

"Hey man, My civic can destroy your 7 any and every day! Its nothing but a **** ricer."

The next 6 lights he was put back in his place of shame and self hate.

WTF why would you ever call a 7 a ricer? He had a death wish.

i like how everyone one who comes up and talks to you about your car seems to have a friend who has one. So they say since there friend has one they consider themself a expert or something...and people always say ya my friend has a rx7 and he revs it up to like 16k rpms and it dosent blow up jst shoots bad *** flames haha

segXD2

I work at a Nissan dealer in the service department. The techs keep telling me I need a real motor. So I say, oh really? well its a darn shame that there is something under that hood is powering this car instead of hopes and dreams. they just put the head down and walk away hahahaha

When I first got my 87 T2 it was running a little rough. I took it to the mechanic.

Him:Oh, it sounds like it just needs the valves adjusted.
Me: it doesn't have valves, it's a rotory.
HimLooking at me like im a dumb ***)Of course it does, all cars have valves.
Me: Gimme back my keys..

A friend of mine had a 87 GXL with exhaust and an intake, he went to pick a friend who worked at a local tire store, when he pulled in he reved the car up to make it pop flames out and this dumb *** kid said to him; You might not wanna do that it might break a timing belt and bend the valves.

I love going racing at my local track on saturday night. I'll pop the hood when I'm in the staging lanes and stand way back out the way and watch people come up and look under my hood and scratch their head...I can only inmagine what's going threw their minds!lol

Sigh: When parking my turbo FC with turbo timer and a stainless/Titanium exhaust I STILL get "Hey do you know your car is still running?"

It IS? OMG OMG HOW ON EARTH DID I NOT HEAR IT? I MUST BE TOTALLY DEAF.

Also I still get "What kind of car is that?"

Get an education sheeple.

So I went to see about a broken down FB that had been sitting for months and months today...

Apparently the guys house where it's stored at, it's his stepson's car, and he's away at college...

Anyway, I ask him how much he'd let it go for, he said make an offer, I asked what was wrong with it...

"It's got a cracked cylinder head..."

Me: "But... umm... they don't have cylinders..."

"It's got a broken head."

Me: "Okay..."

... I told him I'd give him around 150 as it sits with the broken engine, and been sitting for a while... he said that that's way too low, and that he "knows for a fact" running ones sell for over $500 easily...

What do you know, go on craigslist... there's like 3 running FB's all for 500 obo... yeah... right... lol

Anyway, I just found it funny that the cylinder has problems. :p

Some guy runs up to me the other day when i went to the grocery store for my parents on the way home from work.

Him: "Is that an Rx7? And what year?"
Me: "Sure is. Its an 88"
Him: "Cool. I have one too but its an 82. I know all about these cars"
Me:"Nice. I know a lil bit"
Him:"i just had my valves adjusted and put on a demon 650 carb with my new set of cams and heads."
Me: "Awesome. If a rotary engine had all those cams and stuff."
Him:" You mean i paid to have cams installed and my car doesnt have them????"
Me: "YEP"
Him:" See ya later." Whips out his cell and call some one and he sounded quite pissed.

Musta been his "ace" mechanic. lol.

a Buddy at work drives a 2002 mustang with a pretty nicely built 5.0.
"My mustang will smoke your rx7"
"yeah but my rx7 isnt built for a 1/4 mile, i dont really care about going fast in a straight line...i have MY mustang for that"
"Yeah but your rx7 has no power. My mustang will smoke it"
"..."
"I dont know why you would but money into that ricer..."
"its fun to drive"
"its slow how is that fun?"
"Its fun to actually turn sometimes"
"My mustang will out handle your rx7"
"HAHAHAHAAHA"

Its funny how people think that only thing that matters is Horsepower....

And yeah i have a 66' mustang and my 90' Rx7. I prefer to drive the Rx7. But both cars are great for different things.

^ he has an 02 stang with a 5.0? it should have a 4.6 unless he swapped in a 5.4 out of a ford truck. the only SN95 mustangs that had a 5.0 were 94 and 95 models

A few weeks ago i went to a gas station to fill up and get some premix. Minding my own business i go grab the premix and walk to the counter where there is a guy asking for directions back to the highway. I wait behind him for a good 10 minutes.. he finally steps aside and lets me check out.

I put the premix on the counter expecting this lady to just let me pay and be on my way but instead she antagonizes me about why i am getting premix. I told her i just needed to get it and asked her kindly to just ring me out so i could leave.

She and the man then proceed to try to talk me out of it....

Woman: This isnt the type of oil you put in your car! It's for lawn mowers. Hunny you dont want this!

Me: Yes i do, can you please just ring it up so i can leave?

Man: What are you using it for?
(Woman looks at me curiously)

Me: My car.... can you please just ring it up already? I have **** to do.

Woman: Oh my where are you putting it? That doesnt go anywhere in your car! (she proeeds to try to go put it back on the shelf)

Man: Yeah, where are you putting that?

Me: In my gas tank. It's a rotary and i dont have my OMP so my car needs it. Please dont argue with me about this, i know what im doing. Ring up the ****** premix and let me be on my way.

(Man turns away in frustration)
Woman: ok hunny dont get so upset, sorry.
(she ring me out)

Woman: have a nice day.

I just walk out.



I hate it when people do that ****.

I wasnt sure if I should have been offended by this but I was pulling out of my garage to go to work with the vert a few days ago, and an old couple was walking by. The man said:
"Hey thats a nice car, what is it, a Porsche?"
-"Nope it's an RX-7"
"Ohh, the Mazda, thats nice man! Thats when they made them good"
-"Thanks man, have a good day"

I appreciate the fact he liked my car, and I'm not offended that people think it may be a Porsche, but when he said "thats when they made them good", I wasnt sure how to take that. They are all good in my opinion, technology changed, the car changed. So I dunno :p
