And exactly what kind of rep are you suppose to "stand by" with your vaunted 26 post?

I have seen a daily driven 400hp rennie, it currently has 7,000 miles with no issues.

Granted it is still in RND, but it is running and has no issues.

I think you are better off just STFU.

I've organized many gotham tuning meets in the past and I really don't care if i'm given credit here. I just wanted to meet up with some folks in my area with rx8s.

I don't want to start any **** with you people. I just bought an rx8 as a daily driver and I thought I can have fun on this forum, but I suppose I'll just lurk for whatever knowledge this forum can impart. I'll probably end up getting esmeril turbo kit and will keep you updated.

When I said few hours, I meant few hours of BOOST not normal drive. that'll translate into few months or driving depdning on your foot.

I don't think 90% of you know what it takes to go from 350whp to 400whp. even with 13REW, it's not a simple task. once you start leaning out and squeezing hp, there's a point where you start sacrificing so much reliability for little gain in power. what I do see here is very few knowledgeable members and bunch of idiots chanting a mindless chorus.

Not that I need to prove anything but the blue renny I mentioned has been running at 500whp for the past 2.5years without a rebuild or breakage. It was running at low to mid 400whp for 2 years before that. Oh, and the guy daily drives it to work and to his daily functions. When things are done right they work. This same car broke with less than 300whp using a greddy kit before going to the custom set up, what does that tell you? I can also tell you that in PR there is a 1ltr suzuki 3 cyl. engine on a low10sec-high 9seg fwd car generating 400+whp because it has the correct ignition, fuel and engine upgrades......there is not limit if things are done right.... Just because you haven't met the right people doesn't mean things don't exist/aren't possible or anything of the sort. I bet you in the early 1900s no one could believe a person could fly but the wright brothers' neighbor new it was possible...Heck, in 1995 getting 350whp was the considered the ceiling of performance for a REW...

and it started with only one guy, who failed to research. the key to winning a debate, is to know the otherside very well along with yours

Poke your head into the Major Horsepower Upgrades section and do a bit of reading...what you find might surprise you...

That is because no one does anything new anymore. We all just hang out in the lounge and discuss Kim's avatars
