well im 5'10 and with my rx8 seats which sit higher up then factory seats i cant even feel the roof when i hawk my hair and i have a sunroof, and i also sit in a more track position, i think the biggest issue, if i remember correctly, people have when it comes to sitting in FD's was overall headroom were the roof meets the door, especially when you have a roll cage

the roof is generally high enough but when u have a helmet u may bump into the end of the roof, and i remember some people saying that their heads were tilted to the side slightly because they would hit the cage if they didnt, but i dont remember how tall they were

if you get real bucket seats that should solve most issues since they dont really have much cussion and are pretty much on the floor to begin with

 

<3 thankyou, i got excited reading your post. it was the same dilemma in the rx8 with the sunroof, where the door and roof come together its at its lowest. hopefully ill be able to sit in a fd soon and my dreams wont become shattered.

 

ummm rx7s get better mpg then rx8's...

i dont know, i havent drove and 8 in over 3 years

i havent yet. i probably will when i get it running again

 

not when they have over 350hp :p i heard after 400 its like 10. When and if you do, id love to check the head clearence, why isnt it running??

 

mine used to have 360whp until one of my turbos took a dump, highway i used to generally get 300miles to a tank city was probably around 200 and we have 18 gallon tanks, too tired to do the math lol

 

Planning on going to see The JUDGE tomorrow for my winter plans!

 

uhh idk it depends on my work load/ class, im not in SB all the time.. im thinking of a bbq diy next week... maybe sunday since the autox is sat? u can do it then since i know kel wants to do coilovers and preston wants to do springs...

as in sept 10? ahhh lemme try pushing for it haha what do i need a helmate and? is it a one time few or do i have to do a membership thing?

i bought mine with 350whp and it got 20mpg. last motor w/ hbp 4" dp/mp/exhaust UNTUNED going to NC got 20-22 and roughly 400whp

alternate is shot

Good luckkkkkk

 

Found out today that I need to replace my oil cooler and cooler lines, they were corroded and leaking oil......
Anyone know of any recall for this in America..CAUSE I'm finding a crap load for Canada, and none for the US..

 

Basically going to cost me the price of a new authentic MS front bumper for a shitty replica, i have to buy the bumper,pay shipping,pay a bodyshop to completly rework the headlights and side lights and then paint it. Why doesnt someone make something that fits on a S2!

Eric as long as you aren't absurdly fat I think you'll find a way to be comfortable in an FD.

 

anyone care to guess what type of car this is? hint the obvious choice is wrong

 

pic from thurs

 

It's raining so i guess not one is coming out !!!!!

 

ray ray, if it rains sat, does the event get cancelled or postponed?

 

nope...event still goes on. They won't cancel it unless there is lightning or a hurricane (lol). I usually don't go when it rains anyway.

 

yes i know is a pita to dry the rx8

Ray the sig is sick!

 

AL's A *****. kiddding ill probably flake since its the season of Kelloggs

 

but really i want to go. im feeling like blowing my motor on sat=)

 

mmm, FYI, when you tune your car, make sure the AFR around 11.8 or 11.5...around that area because if you use 50/50 like mine, the boost juice, you will experience .8 to 1.0 tad richer....most likely around .8...so in other words, if you are tuned like 11.5 without W/M, if you spray it, the AFR will be 10.8 - 11.0 ..check the size of your meth injectors and the start point...mine is 11.8 when it's tuned, when i turned the meth, it becomes 11.1..

it's type of the liquid you use....
what do you use? are you using 50/50? are you sure the measurement is right which is 50/50 when you mix water and meth yourself?
next, find out the size of the injectors...if you spray too much too early, then the rest of the liquid will be left oever on the TB...rotary is a small engine..my size is 130mm, and it's good...it make my AFR richer by .8...now, i can't imagine if you use a bigger one....check that....

mmm, you are in the rocking boat man...i think if you decide to turbo your car, stay on 5-6 psi..so you can abuse it..lol..

why? did you even blow it again?

 

I'm using wiper fluid. I'm just gonna mix myself now. I'll be receiving my pure meth sometime this week and I'll be buying distilled water soon. I'll probaly run 40/60 meth/water or maybe try boost juice. Either way, I'm not buying anymore wiper fluid.
