if the local mazda dealer calls in the the head wrencher and department heads from parts and service when you break out the newest bling bling toy in your rotary fixit stash... can you say compression tester? they had never seen 1

 

You know your a RotorHead when all your friends have an Rx-7.

You know your a Rotor head when people call you on the phone asking you tech questions, and you have no idea how they got your phone number or who they are.

You know your a RotorHead when you are walking out of a movie theater with your GF and you abruptly interupt her with the phrase, "Hey, i hear a rotary!!".

You might be a RotorHead if you go to the Dealership and they say they haven't seen you in a while, but it has only been 3 weeks.

 

You might be a rotorhead if someone asks you asks you how to install piston rings and you have no idea what he is talking about.

 

You might be a rotorhead if you uproot your life to move across the country ,JUST so i can be around more freaks who are as addicted to these things as i am.

 

You might be a rotorhead if you name your adopted kitty who was found sleeping in the empty engine bay of your FD-- "Rotor."

 

You might be a rotorhead if you change your whole way of life just to open up your own rotary rebuild shop because anything else seems pointless.

 

you might be a rotorhead if when you blow a motor and have 0 money in the bank you cash in all your bonds youve saved your whole life to get another motor

 

oops triple post sorry

 

Alright...

You might be a rotorhead....

...if you total your 7, and 30 minutes later end up browsing through the RX7Club For Sale board.

...if your old oil has an octane rating.

...if you keep 3 10mm wrenches in your glove box.

...if you have the Mazda parts department on speed dial.

...if you've replaced your exhaust system more than 3 times in the last year.

...if you can pull your motor without a hoist.

...if you pull your car into auto shops just to freak out the mechanics.

...if you tell the cop that you were only redlining it to prevent carbon buildup.

...if you finally get your flooded motor started, and the neighbors call the fire department.

...if you pull an all-nighter prepping for an emissions test.

...if you've ever traded numbers with another 7 owner while in traffic.

okay, all I got right now. Enjoy.

 

if you look for anthying that looks like a rotor

if you have to explain what your car looks like

if you come on the rx7forum once a day

 

if your wife curses your car simply because its an rx7. . . then later on announces her hatred for the whole mazda line simply because the stupidjerkheadfaces offered the rotary powered vehicle that graces your driveway at this very moment. . . at all times. . . cause its never running. . .

this thread is so funny because everyone is just thinking about what they were doing last week....

..... my ears perk up like a guard dog...

haha, good stuff

done it...

everyday...

its an addiction

You know you are a ROTORHEAD if:
when you say you have a rotary, and the guys goes... "those engines suck, they blow up to easy" and you say, "Well... yeah... but only some of the time... see what happens is..." only to finish 10 minutes later having the guy looking on the internet for a new car

 

hahahaha. . . you know youre a rotorhead if. . .

when someone asks you if the apex seals are going out you ask them if they even know what an apex seal is. . . only to have them say, "well, i just know that them thar apex seals is known to blow out easily". . . then you respond with "they only blow-up when the car is owned by a moron!!!!"

paul

 

if your in a club

 

you know youre a rotorhead if. . .

you always find yourself feeling like bill nuy the science guy at all the local car meets.

your friends call you the "car guy" and you correct them with "rotary guy"

YOU OWN A ROTOR THAT HAS BEEN TRANSFORMED INTO A CLOCK

you bought a hoist instead of renting/borrowing one because you KNEW that engine was coming out again

youve only driven the car for a combined total of 1 year out of the 4 years youve owned it

youd rather suffer the summer w/o the a/c on than risk pulling out another engine. . . yes, i said ANOTHER

there are parts for your car or plans for a new project on the counter-tops and/or table in your kitchen

youve ever been in traffic. . . looked in the rear-view mirror. . . and caught some soccer mom waving her hand in front of her face and rolling down the windows cause the smell is too strong and its burning her childrens eyes. . . and brain cells

you bought rootbeer scented fuel additive from summit because of that stupid soccer mom

you drive w/o the radio on because you HEAR something different

you find yourself talking all of your friends into getting an rx7. . . (you know who you are. . . fitness stain!!!!!)

you find yourself laying in bed running through future modifications or the process youre going to use when you do your next mod. . . just so you can put yourself to sleep

your head seems to be a radar for all other rotary powered makes and models

your wife/gf goes "ppshhhh" when your finger involuntarily reacts to those radar readings

you get your car tuned by steve kan on your way to your honeymoon

youre worried that your existing mods/future mods may not have been OVER-ENGINEERED enough to fit your standards

youre one of those fanatics who changes the oil every 1500 miles. . . NOW THATS DEDICATION!!!!

man, this can seriously go on forever!!!!

paul

 

...if you spend more money on your car than you do on rent every month...

...and thats just gas money

 

You know you are a ROTORHEAD if: You would fight with someone rather then letting them get away saying rotarys suck.

You always have your eye out for a cheap deal on anything rotary powered.

You are posting in this section.

Most if not all your money goes into your car.

You made your friend buy an RX-7 before any other car.

You made your dad into a rotorhead.

Your mom knows the rotary engine names and parts.

 

what if you made a shirt that says, "id rather push my seven than drive your stang"???

my wife wears that shirt for lounging now. hahahahaha

paul

 

...you can never truly admire a friends car, no matter how good it is, because it has a piston engine in it.

...and then when you drive friend's car, you ask him when you're supposed to shift since his tach redlines at 6k rpms.

 

Im not yet but i will be.!




another one is

You already know that there are 8 rotor signs in a Mazda RX-8

Front bumper
Rear bumper
Shift ****
Dashboard
Drivers seat (on the head rest)
Passanger seat (ditto)
E brake
the keys

 

You know you're a ROTORHEAD if. . .
. . you keep rear-ending people because am RX7 or RX8 just passed going in the opposite direction.

. . you keep hurting yourself from falling down or running into things because you keep looking back at your car as you're leaving it in the parking lot.

. . you sit in your RX7 for 10 minutes after you shut it down because you hate to leave it.

. . you calculate your gas mileage everytime you fill your tank and chart your mileage on a never ending graph.

and you know you're a ROTORHEAD if you have to be at a rotary drive-in even though a hurricane is threatening to blow everything away.

Keep it coming, this is good stuff.

 

You name your dogs Crank and Cam 'just to be ironic'.......and nobody gets it.

Your wife decides the next pet will be named "rotor"

You finally convinced your wife that you need an RX-8, she agrees only after checking to see if a child seat fits in the rear.

You hate answering the phone, untill you see its a fellow rotorhead.

You have photo Caller ID, and only your rotorhead friends get a picture for their number.

Your cell phone screen saver is Garfinkles' sweet *** FD.

 

This happened at the last Raleigh drive-in
You know you're a ROTORHEAD if you have an old rotor sliding around in the cargo area just so you can say you have a 3 rotor 82 FB.

 

If you know that Dr Felix Wankle never owned a drivers license. Its true.
