Drove an FD RX-7

[DCI]

Today, twin turbo one great fun tbh. Only ever been a passenger in one. This was modded ECU, cusco rear 1.5 way diff with paddle clutch and fmic. And the best exhausts ever to fit to a jap car a Blitz Nur Spec R.

The car was running 1.2 bar of boost which amazingly had a bitta lag which was weird I'm too used to my buddies TT MKIV Supra and my GT4 Celica which both have minimal lag.

Very fun car once on boost it was greasy weather over here so once it hit boost she was sliding around but very predictable once it started moving. The only bad point is it is running JIC coilovers great suspension but way too hard for our rds over here.


Really enjoyed driving it, the high revving wankel turbo engine is fun

Buy one its only money.
I do miss my honda 2000 turbo and vr4 galant both all done up-now I own a Tahoe (slow as hell) and a minivan (soccer van)

[DCI]

Ohh its a friends one I won't be buying I just bought a GT4 Celica love it too much tbh to part with it just yet.

I used to have a pontiac GTP 3.8l supercharged. I boosted the hell out of it and had full exhaust and meth injection. Tranny was a piece of shit though.

Lol too much torque

[Euroholic]

Jap cars? No thank you. Hows that old saying go. "Only milk and juice come in 2 litres"

[Euroholic]

Impossible. More the better

[DAAS]

No just a really poorly made automatic.

Ahh I see, generally its the torque that makes engines go boom lol

1.3 litre engine in the rx

Put a Supra up against any of your Holdens and I guarantee it would piss all over them even with a basic few mods and youcan run upwards of 1k bhp and toruque through the drivetrain on the 6speed TT Supras.

And my car is 2l but has a lovely turbo to nake up for it and is nicely fast I have to say

[Hazard]

The rotary engines are naaaaaaasty and don't blow. They're feisty tho lol

[DCI]

Everyone gives out about building then etc but they are not that bad, take for example a car that needs a timing belt every 50k miles, do a 100k miles thats two belts needed to be fitted to be fitted to the car, lets say for arguement it comes in at 1k per belt change for parts labour etc

Lets say its 2k for a rebuild of the rotary tips for 100k miles still works out as expensive as a standard engine. You can even buy a dvd on how to change thrm out step by step.

Lol, haz they are quite tail happy tbh even more so with the 1.5 way diff haha even in 3rd its squirrely lol but thats the appeal its only you abs and the car tis cool compared to the over nannied modern cars

I dont doubt it will smoke them. I just dont like cars that are smaller than my fridge. i love me a big rwd 4 door sedan with a huge v8

[Euroholic]

I here rotarys just leak oil? Can anyone confirm this?

[Euroholic]

The thing that i hate is most of those jap cars are fwd. fwd is the devil.

I had an rx7 :-) loved that car lol

[lovbyts]

The bigger the turbo the bigger the lag time.

Biggest problem with rotary is dont ever let it get low on oil or the engine is toast quickly.

I have a VR4, twin turbo. 9b stock upgraded to 13B's, 340 injectors upgraded to 550s, air/fuel controller, custom built exhaust, no cats, custom pistons, port matched, balanced V6 All Wheel drive 400hp at the wheels on pump gas. Perfect daily driver.
Lots of other details left out of course.

Not to be funny but how did you fit in it? I found it quite tight lol

Getting in isnt the hard part, it's getting out.

[DCI]

This one had EVO 9 seats in it I was crippled lol

@lb it's like an elise, leg arse head leg and reverse to get out lol was funny very cool car tbh

That's what I figured, they are a PITA to get out of especially with custom seats. In my VR4 I didnt even bother with a car seat for my kid after age 3 because the back seat is basically a kids seat, you cant fit an adult back there.

[songdog]

I had a RX 4 many years ago.That thing was alright.

Lol, like the RX7 and Supra they have back seats but for literally no apparent reason other than to fill a gap haha
