Some exotics wanna go on a cruise this thursday. Any of you guys down?

 

ill be there thursday but not to cruise.. andy yanno if you actually invite us you HAVE to show up right?

 

not this thursday, i won't be cruising, i will just chill with you guys.....but next thursday, i will cruise with you guys in my 8...

how is the car going? i found out that my probe sender EGT not working at all...it's broken...
my AFR sensor also broke, luckyly i had some extra..probably because when the first time i started it, it had lots of smoke..don't know how, but i think it kills both of the sensor...

steven

 

Whoooops hahaha

 

I am down ... MOAR details?

 

I'm sorry. I told the guy I'd rather go to the gym instead of the meet today .

 

wtf man ... neway ... i plan on being out tomm for a bit ... is neone else?

 

I plan on doing a calander of event for this season so we know ahead of time who plans on doing what. Bringing some organization to this thing we call T.N.C. really looking forward to this season. DGRR is looking tight for me but I have not given up hope as yet.

 

I think I have to pass on DGRR . I'm going to cancel my reservation at Nantahalla by this week if I feel like Dave isn't making enough progress on my car. Anyone want a room at the lodge?

 

mebe ... wat dates did u book it for?

 

wait, what are you talking about? i thought your LS_rx7 is finished...?what happen with the spirit-R?

steven

 

I forget. I think the weekend and that extra day. It should definitely cover all of the event.

No the LS isn't finished .

The replica needs a new motor and turbos.

 

so ... you have two rx7s and both are down????

 

it is the fact of it.......both rx7 are down....i think he needs to get another one.....put some HONDA engine into it..

andy, sorry to hear that man...that's the reason why i never get 2 rotary cars, rx7 or rx8..because not alot of ppl can take care of them...even if there is, the person will be loaded with work...
if you just wanna do an engine swap, you should have used my mechanic...
fast and reliable
good luck with everything..

steven

 

stink,
so who tune your turbo? how could you be safe into boost if you don't tune it? unless you have a base tune for greddy, and it must running reach and it's not safe at all..if it's just base tune, it just make the car run ...

steven

 

Hahaha dude I don't have 2 rotary cars you silly beast.

My LS2 car is at speed1. I've already have Dave doing some mods on it. Unfortunately, to finish the mods, the swap has to be done first

 

Wasssssssssssuuuuuppppppp!!!!!!!!!

 

lame

lame

cuz you keep adding to the list. who mods their car before ever getting to drive it first?

^^THIS is why 99% of rx7 that go down, are down for years. the owner puts it down for one thing, gets the itis and wants to make a 93-94 car as minty as a 2012, dumps 20g+ never drives their car, broke, wife leaves them, looses their house, has nothing but a 30k+ paper weight that doesnt work and they havent driven in years BUT everything is shiny

 

^you literally described 95% of rx7 owners out there lol

the other 5% pretends they drive their car but just lets it sit in fear of it breaking

 

Nah Benny. I only added to the list because Dave said it was ok and it wouldn't slow him down. I thought I was slowing him down anyway but in the end, he didn't really start or he did very minor things. The mods I'm doing aren't power mods anyway. I think the only real major one that might take extra time is installing an oil baffle. To be honest, I'm not to upset about it. Having Susan at speed1 is awesome. This will sound sarcastic but I'm dead serious. At least I know I'm getting fucked (in terms of time) instead of just guessing and finding out the hard way. As bad as this situation sounds, I'm actually really happy with the communication.

Also come on guys. That is not why 99% of Rx7s are down. If that were true, we would have mint condition rollers everywhere. Rx7s go down because people don't know what they are getting themselves into. That is the truth. How many really well done cars do you see that aren't functioning? None that I can think of. Even though I'm not supposed to be driving mine, my replica is in better mechanical than most FDs out on the road.

 

no the truth is these cars are really pieces of ****, how is it that every other car from its time can reliably make 500+ hp with only worrying about maybe snapping axles, where we have to worry about EVERYTHING going wrong at 350hp

beauty makes people do stupid things i suppose

 

Not true. Miata, exige/elise and most other small cars.

Rx7s aren't shitty man. The great thing about Rx7s is that you don't have to make 500+hp to be fast and in stock form, they last a decent amount time. I think we do have to mod alot to get reliable power though. That definitely sucks. At the very least though, you take some of those cars that makes 500+hp and you can try to make it handle as well as an Rx7 and you would be spending even more money and you might not even make that happen.

 

they can have half as shitty handling but they would finish the race

and their engines would be good all season long

hows ur SR andy? those turbos hold up real well huh?

do you know what r23 and r33 GTR's use as reliable bolt in upgrades for stock turbos? a boost controller

 

My SR is meeeh. My turbos have shaft play but that's what you get when you cheap out. I admit, I cheaped out here and I knew the risks. Same thing with the motor. The motor is a crappy JDM pull that happened to have great compression. I rolled the dice. No rebuild was done. In the end, I can only blame myself and I certainly won't complain and say that rotarys are crappy. They can be fragile and expensive to play with but they have their other benefits as well. I mean if you really think our cars are crappy, sell it man.

That's fantastic. You can also get alot of power out of a Civic for super cheap. So what? It doesn't mean that rotarys are crappy does it?

I'm not sure if this one is aimed at me but I'll bite? I drove the crap out my car when I first got it. After I got the car tuned and modded the way I want I drove the crap out of it again. I never worried about the car breaking down after my last modding sessions. I did stop driving it after some problems came up but, well, I took a gamble and lost and I'm not gonna cry about it I'm gonna get it fixed.

 

yes andy it really does, if it didnt you wouldnt be swapping in a v8 into your other one

ill be the first person to tell you ive made myself into a hypocrite, but its the truth, i was a fool back then

the rotary was designed for pure road racing, period, thats it, nothing more. not for pick up trucks, not for daily commuters, not for the mass market as we can clearly see, it was designed to win a race and be torn apart and prepped for the next one

if im so wrong in saying that these cars are extremely unreliable and make people waste thousands of dollars for minimal pleasure compared to other tuner cars then ask ANYONE on any of these rotary forums why whenever they drive their car they always have that thought or feeling in the back of their head that something bad will happen today


maybe their so used to it that they ignore it, maybe their too new to understand maybe they just dont care, but its always there

i loved my car, it was really fun, but when you own a car for 3 years and only get to drive 13k miles in those three years because somethings always breaking, enough is enough and if you say its because i cheapened out, which i didnt, ill ask you how many miles you put on yours

i check the tires on my bike, i check the chain, i turn the key, push the starter and go, only worry i have is people paying more attention to their cell phones then driving
