Hey fellow rotards! I just wanted to share a pic of my brother's new ride.
He picked it up last week and he says he is lovin every minute of it!

I am a fellow rotary owner as well.
I have also owned an FC but I like my first gen better

I have a '79 Rx-7 that my dad purchased brand new!




Let me know what you think!

P.S. - 7's are better!!!!!

 

:D awe lol sweet what a cool color
i wanted that color but i got read instead :/

 

I did a little reading on the FB(SA?), and for it's time awesome car.
And I do like 7s better but until the 16x comes out I'll just have to wait

 

Yah I love the color of it! im quite jealous...I wanna paint an FC that color lol

 

Yah I love it! its so small and quick lol....even with the 30 year old suspension!

I cant wait for the 16x either!

I heard the new rx8 will have one...I saw one at the Charlotte auto show

 

I had a White '79 too! First one off the boat the dealer said. I remember it well it was my 5th RX. I had a '74 RX-4 before it with a 13B and twenty more hp, it was hard to give to the wife. She had to have A/C so after having that put in it ruined the weight of the front end. The RX-7 was one of the best handlers in it's time. I put a RB header, wing-foots, bilsteins and more on it, it was a fun car.

 

First gen + FC = ? :p

Yeah, the 7's are some GREAT fun to drive around in, and they look damn sexy.

 

Rotards... I lol'ed

Nice FC though.

 

It's an FB

Can we get a thread name change?

 

Sorry, don't know FC from FB - will fall on my sword from the shame.....

 

Wow, memories

The FB was the first car i ever learned how to drive - i then progressed into an FC. I nothin' but love for the car. Tell your bro, nice pick up.

 

stealth, you dissappoint me

I didnt know anything about 7's until joining this forum

 

I guess it helps when you spend 2 years over at 7club

 

ROTARD... would be a great vanity license plate

 

Haha ya i wanna make my forum name into one...hehe

 

Don't do it!

There was a forum member by that name and he was banned because of his REtardeness - however for a good laugh at the mod's expense...i say go for it

 

wait....because of rxtion or rotard?

 

Rotard.

Sorry for the confusion

 

haha no problem, i think it would be cool for a license plate though. i call my 79 Da Smurf

 

Its actually an SA.....

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I've always grouped them together, since I could never physically tell the difference

*EDIT* I just noticed you said it's a '79. Mother ******. MY BAD :P

 

The SA (RX7 S1) had the bumpers showing. The FB (S2) Had the plastic covered bumpers. Both had the 12A engine. The FB (S3) had the 13B engine and some beefed up parts that made it heavier.
I liked my S2 better than the S3, even though the S3 had 30 hp more power. It was so much more fun to throw around.

 

I invented Rotardness... anyone know how i can go about copyrighting that before someone goes treading on my turf?


nice ride(s) OP

 

I really do plan on keeping my RX-8 for my entire life as long as I have enough garage space. I think in time it's look will be even more fantastic. I've never felt this way about a car before.

 

Nice FB. If ur lucky enough to find one that has been cared for they are STILL fun as hell to zip around in. Yea it was the **** in its day, that big swooping hood is so cool
