I thought that looked like a SakeBomb kit. :)

Haven’t had an issue with FC popups in the 4 years I’ve had mine. I opened everything up a couple years ago and everything except the sealed beams were original, so in the other 26 years nobody had a problem either.

Projectors definitely take the whole eye thing to another level.

Or you could say the Countach’s top speed was 7mph higher with the headlights down.

I daily mine in the summer (when it’s running) and I definitely worry about getting taken out by someone who shouldn’t be on the road like this. Hope Joshua doesn’t leave the scene and is able to get the car out of the wreckers. How is the drunk guy not on the hook for this?

Those twist in pistons suck, even with the right tools they take forever compared to the push in type. I can do both my front 4pot push in type in the time it takes to do one 1pot twist rears.

Not all that heartbreaking, but the thermostat change that took almost a year.

My FC is the same way. It’s about the same size as a Miata (10" longer and about 2" less wide compared to an NC) but it feels big and roomy once you’re inside while I barely fit in a Miata and it’s definitely not comfortable. I could probably fit all of my clothes in it where a Miata can only carry enough for a few…

Some people just like the way the 80s versions of sports cars look. I won’t argue that the FD rx7 isn’t beautiful and it has definitely aged better than pretty much any other car, but I still prefer the FC. I like the AW-11 more than the SW-20, even though the latter is pretty.

AKA “fuck you money”, when someone is wealthy enough that normal rules don’t apply anymore.

This show is beautiful, at least to me. I love my RX-7, and when I’ve taken it to classic shows my neighbors have had nice things to say, a Springfield Roller even asked how fast it was with a wink. But everyone else has mostly fucking sucked. I’ve sat behind my car eating a sandwich and seen people laughing at my car…

The big thing for me was getting measured and fitted for dress clothes rather than buying off the rack at Macy’s or Sears, nothing crazy like a tailor just plain old Men’s Warehouse. Before, wearing dress clothes was horribly uncomfortable and only for when it was absolutely necessary. Now my dress pants are more…

Amazon can be a middle ground on pricing without necessarily settling for a lower quality part, that $65 Moog ball joint is $27 on Amazon and is eligible for Prime shipping. The only parts I order off of ebay are either OEM Mazda parts from a parts warehouse with good prices and fast shipping or used hard to find…

Sitting at the line also allows you to accelerate into the intersection and then turn so can predict gaps and get through better than if you were stopped dead in the middle of the intersection.

Sadly you’ll have better luck with pictures on the internet. I took my dad to a car show and when looking at some chargers he mentioned that my mom’s satellite would have fit right in. Turns out she had a 73 satellite Sebring in college. I did some research about it and found out that while plenty of chargers from the…

Looks like the process hasn’t changed since the rx7, it isn’t really that bad just takes a bit of patience and maybe a half hour of time if you pull the spark plugs.

After having my FC for awhile I wondered how anyone without basic wrenching skills could deal with the maintenance, then I realized that’s why there aren’t many of them left.

You could almost replace every reference to your 300ZX with FC RX7 and it would match my experience.
