Any V8 Rx7's? ;o)
-
I dont run the track but I will give it a go, I also dont run in the snow LOL. I did manage to pull on a 03 ZO6 though and Weshole was riding shotgun on that experience if ya wanna ask him about it. I figure not bad for the little mid 80s designed 1.3L. So ya I will pit the 1.3L up against your 5.7L I figure what the hell have I gotta lose your engine is newer and has over 4x the cubes. Just let this snow melt and we will be off. Just send me a PM when the roads are clear and ya wanna run em. I dont run the track because its a lotta cars outta my league. Cars runnings slicks, race gas, high boost, gutted interiors and so on. I ran my NA RX7 out there and could not hook up for shit with that. I cant imagine doing it with this one. So ya I am up for a friendly little match up somtime. I have owned both LT1 and rotary and my faith lies with the rotary :).

Sounds good to me.EDIT: will you be using slicks at all?
Also, we should try to find someone with a digi...I want to get it on tape!

Ok sounds good, no I dont run slicks. I run a set of cheap Fuzions LOL. I think the fact that I dont run slicks was the reason for the shitty hook ups at the track with the N/A. Anyway I try to keep my car as close to true street as possible. The only thing not street is the emmisions crap is gone. However it was gone before I got it. Other than that I run 15lbs or less on pump gas, my car has not reached the level of power required for race gas. Prolly never will as I plan on calling the car done. As there is a lot of other stuff I like spending my $ on. Anyway sounds like fun, I will run the track if there is a day where street tires are a must and they dont spray water. Anyway just send me a PM maybe there will be 1 more day yet this yr if this dang snow melts.

I feel ya with a lot of other stuff I like spending money on. I have too many hobbys.You should go on the street days at the track. You can drive around the water box.
And I won't be racing any this year. The car is allready up on stands.

Cool, ya my car looks like it will be parked for the year as well now. Ya maybe I will try the street days. It would be cool to know about what it will run. I prolly just need more practice at the track. I have only ran there once about 3 yrs ago. When I was there I felt way outta my element like most of those people take the whole car scene a lot more serious than I do. I like cars and speed but obviously not as much as some others LOL. Well it was nice chattin with ya. We will have to meet up next spring/summer then. The loser can buy the other a cold one. Sorry but thats all I can afford to lose

LOL no I dont hate ya, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I have personally thought about selling my 7 and going with a mid 90s 300ZX TT or just go for broke and get 05 stang. I just cannot drop a piston engine in the 7. The ONLY reason I have that car is cuz the rotary. I just wanted to see what these cars were all about. The electronics suck, the motors are running on a razors edge when it comes to reliability once you start the mods. So no I dont hate ya.The only thing fun about em is when you beat engine twice to 5Xs there displacment. It also means you are lways expected to lose so when you do no big deal. When your running 1300cc engine in a car you cannot expect a real lot. I like the motor because relistically it is still basically a "concpet" motor. If I could afford a new 05 Stang GT and some 1/2 ass decent mods I would ditch the RX in heartbeat.
Camaro Z28- No I did not run shit for a time cuz I had a NA RX7 then. I dont know what I would run now. I know the car goes pretty damn good now as I have a fresh street ported 13BT and the turbo I am running is a BNR stage 3 and I got the basic mods to go with that such as FMIC injectors and so on. I still am not running a stand alone or anything though. I have not dyoed it but BNR claims 350rwhp with the turbo. I know it goes pretty damn good. This is my 1st turbo car so I am still learnign a lot. I am a V8 guy at heart and prolly will be again someday. Just had to try the whole import thing out. I figured what is more foriegn to a V8 guy than a pistonless motor. Here is the turbo I bought.

if ur car was N/A i could remotely believe that statement. but when u throw a power-adder on any car, it becomes competition for the most part. them few sentences sound like they came from someone who is just getting into the car scene
seems like a good turbo. come out to the track next april/may and see what she will do. them cars come with good susupension and hook hard at the track, u can try it on street radials, but i would recommend some D/R's.
TTYL
P.S. dont waste ur cash on an 05 -
Thanks, ya I never said my life was cars LOL. So I am not neck deep into the car scene. I just do it for fun. I know about the power adders and so on. Even with that said there is NA RX7s that would put a hurting on my turbo. Like Jesus Padillia. Thanks for the compliment on the turbo though. I figured it would make a nice streetable turbo. I really am not a "tuner" and like to keep my car as simple as possible. So I figured that turbo would prolly take me as far as "I" could go on pump gas and a stock ECU with basic piggybacks (safc). Anyway I may give the track a try again next year who knows. The RX7 was never really designed for drag racing but surprsingly does pretty good. When I bought the car I was looking for a car that could do a little of everything and was not real common. Anyway I know the turbo is a power adder but I also look at displacment itself as a power adder so to speak. Once again just my way of looking at it. Anyway I never self proclaimed myself to be a expert tuner, or that my backround is deeply rooted into the car scene. I just have my own views and like to have fun with the cars. I am a former Jarhead who is deeper into firearms and the politics of war past and present than I ever will be of who the local celebrity is out at the Interstate Dragways track is. Anyway I really have to stop posting on this thread. I see people get attacked for constantly posting on the same thread. So ya wanna chat more PM me. Otherwise I will see ya guys around.
