You know youre a rotor-head if... Youve spend $110 more for a rotary for your R/C car.

 

Oh man funny stuff guys. Here's a few more...

...you have bruises on your left knee and an indention in your driver side door panel.

...you've ever ended a date because she didn't know what your car was.

...someone walks up to your car, opens their mouth, and you quickly cut them off with, "Yes, it's got the rotary!"

...you've ever been late for work because you were sitting in the parking lot letting the car idle. (Santa, bring me a turbo timer this year )

...you've had your car for over a year and the thought of a CD player never crossed your mind.

...your parts car has better paint then the one you're driving.

...you tell your friends that you "heard it on the club" and they know what you're talking about.

...you have cargo straps in the back and you USE THEM.

...you always take the backroads.

...people that don't normally wear seatbelts always buckle up in your car.

 

you know your a rotorhead if you : always speak in code( my 85 fb has a new lsd, rebuilt 12a and running nkg 9s inthe T's and 8s inthe L's)
: if you understand all that
:if you buy more oil than gas
:deliberatly back fire in front of cops to make them jump for cover

 

to add to darthrotary's stuff. . . "hey guys, i read a thread on the club about how to remove the fpd, egr, acv, and the bacv. then i figured out that i needed a new fp, fpr, egt sensor, ait sensor, and a set of bur9eq's all around. after all that was done, i decided to ditch the seq's, install one of garfinkles ETB's, a greddy bov, some WI, and an afr monitor."

hahahaha

 

does the hood count?? it looks rotor shaped..

 

Im suprised this was not said already....

You are a Rotorhead if you start your car 5-10 minutes before going anywhere.

.....you pull an all nighter working on the car for a road trip.
.....you break a diff mount or axle at the track and you have it ready for the next pass.
.....telling people NO there is no spark plug in the exhaust.
.....when something breaks(again) you say the car is a POS...but 10mins later you start planning future mods.
.....you carry a bottle of cologne in you glove box or center console to help mask the smell of exhaust fumes.
.....being able to tell the very instant the motor just went.
.....telling everyone that you were not racing when the motor blew...you were just driving easy.
.....in one of the storage bins is a quart of oil and a gallon of coolant.
.....you have an explanation for every noise the car makes.

 

the middle kinda looks like it so i guess it might count?

 

If you drive someone elses car, wonder why the motors screaming but reving so low. then realize that that's the speedometer in the center of the dash and not a tach...you might be a rotorhead.

If you know what everyone else is doing to their 7, you might be a rotorhead.

If you have, or have had, more than one 7, you might be a rotorhead.

If you know how fast you're going by looking at the tach, you might be a rotorhead.

If you take turns without slowing down, scaring passengers, you might be a rotorhead.

If you have parts on your kitchen table, parts on order, open manuals on the coffee table, an rx7 model on top of one of your computer monitors, a screensaver/desktop theme based on something by mazda, more than 3 links in you favs to rx7 sites... you might be a rotorhead.

 

.... when the bumper is stained or melted thanks to the FLAMES
.... when you have 6 parts cars
.... when your S/O and kid both are turned into rotorheads
.... when you have a trailer full of stock parts
.... when you know all you need is a 8,10,12,14,17,19,21 and a 54mm and you can remove anything you want.

 

You might be a rotorhead …

…if 90% of your internet bookmarks are to rotary specific web sights, and the other 10% are to general parts suppliers, but you seldom use them, since you have them all memorized anyway, you have a picture of your engine bay for your desktop background, you have a rotary theme applied and a history of the rotary screensaver, and you have multiple gigabytes of Mazda/RX-7/Rotary documentation, pictures, diagrams and videos, including every RX-7 manual ever produced.

…if your wife asks you what you want for your FD for Christmas before asking about anything else.

…if you have 4 cars and a 2 car garage, but only the FD gets to stay in the garage, since that would leave you less room to work on it.
…if you can describe in detail the entire A’PEXi parts listing for RX-7s.

…if your garage looks like a shrine to the Rotary gods.

…if your To Do List for your car doesn’t fit on one page.

…if you refuse to even consider adding up how much you’ve invested in your car from fear of stroking out.

…if you have any RX-7/FC/FD/rotor/rotary/13B etc., combination of words saved in one or more eBay favorite searches.

…if you can draw a reasonably accurate FD hose diagram from memory.

…if you have ever accurately diagnosed a problem with your car in your sleep.

…if you ever wondered how a rotor shaped tombstone would look.

 

...if you spent all your school financial aid living expence check on your rx-7.
...if you spent all that money and still need more to do a full rebuild.
...if you dropped 2500 on parts and labor fixing all leaks and problems on the outside of the moter, only to go test drive it and have an apex seal blow.

 

If you change your oil every 900-1000 miles (like me)....you may be a rotorhead.
If you wake up in the morning and think what you could buy for my 7....you may be a rotorhead.
If your tooth is chipped and your are in pain and end up spending your money on your 7....you may be a rotorhead.
If you always have a bottle or two of premix in your car....you may be a rotorhead.
If you only eat easy mac and cheese and $.20 romian noodles just to save up for a part....you may be a rotorhead.
If your cars paint is faded and you have different color parts on your 7 and still stare at it through the window at dennys and think it's so sexy....you may be a rotorhead.

 

If you have dreams about buying another 7.....

 

...if you are working on the exhaust on your car, and decide to drive it around with nothing connected to the exhaust manifold just to see how loud it really is...

...and then liking the sound, despite your bleeding ears.

 

... if a couple friends ask you for a ride somewhere and you tell them you're going to need $20 for gas money and somebody's gonna have to ride under the hatch

 

You might be a SMART Rotorhead if...... you have a fire extinguisher inside the cab just in case.....
....and you are a rotorhead if you have had to use 1.

 

You are a rotorhead If you understand all of rotorbrains last post . Number 2928

 

If your neighbors call they're cat mikey then you start calling it rotor now they call it rotor...

If you have a cat that adopted you and you decide to name him Felix...

If when your neighbors first moved in and heard your car they freak and complained, now at 2 in the morning they don't even wake up by the backfiring anymore...

If the sales people at Autozone, Pep Boys, Advance and O'Reilly run out to the parking lot, open your door for you and offer valet parking when you drive up to the store then you know you're a Rotorhead,

If the auto parts stores close after you leave because they've made their profit margin for the day then You know you're a Rotorhead,

You know your a rotorhead when......

You go through 2 starters from worn out coolant seals

You smoke out the whole entire celebration station parking lot getting a push start from above

You have to explain to people why your putting in 2 cycle pre mix at fill ups and why they can't do it in there cars

You premix cost you more than $3 a bottle

You freak out when your out of premix and can't find any anywhere and scared to use the no name 2 cycle oil from the gas station.

People ask you how you shoot flames and you say thats normal

Your not scared to blow the motor cause you know its going to happen eventually

You can swap your motor in 2 hours or less

You don't want to get rid of your parts car cause its still a RX-7

Thats all i can think of.

 

You know you are a rotorhead when you ask your mechanic not to throu away the damaged housing and rotor so you could put it on your shelf at home as a decoration
