Wow, a members first gen hit 1002 RWHP (rotary) yesterday!!

Just want to say this is not my car. I recieved an email from the owner today letting me know that his car has now been tuned completely.

I love this car, got to see it in person as it was at Forcefed performance (when and I got my car tuned).

Huge numbers from a first gen and this car is a complete sleeper, how he is going to drive this on the street is beyond me... But what an amazing machine!!

I'm jealous, I really enjoyed my trip to Abbotsford. Really nice place to live, and I really wish I was closer.

Dan. All Bullshit aside...

You NEED to go take pics/vids of this car and post some details of its setup.

ASAP.
It's practically my dream setup. Too much HP? Needs a widebody?!

Here is the car at low boost:

Well I can tell you some more details of the car. All the custom work was done by forcefed racing.

The big items that come to my mind:
20B swap
microtech
Dry sump
4" exhaust IIRC
2nd gen front subframe swap
Grannies speed shop rear end 8.8
intercooler, radiator, oil coolers custom mounted by forcefed
Exhaust manifold build by forcefed
engine was built by forcefed
Nitrous
Dual blow off valves
IIRC dual wastegates, with dumps going to just behind the pass. front tire

Basically you name it, its been done. If I had to guess i'd say he's probally got about $120-150 thousand dollars into this car... I really wish I lived closer, but I am 12 hours away from forcefed. But maybe if we are lucky we can convince "blown7" to get some videos of it at the track, i'm excited to see what it can run.



There is more pictures on www.forcefedracing.ca under project cars section, this car is "grey first gen 3 rotor". Check out some of the other cars they have built while you are on the site, some very impressive cars with good hp numbers.

Beautiful! Yet completely useless on the street or race track. Maybe it can do something on the drag strip, but that is about it.

Reread what he posted. He said it's the first HE has seen. He didn't say anything about other 1K+hp rotaries not existing.

Excuse me,are you Gryffinwings? he can answer for him self.

Lol, thank you so much for the offer. My girlfriends uncle actually lives right closeby over the golden ears bridge, and we ended up staying there. Hopefully going to head down for another visit next spring time, but unfortunately not taking my car again. I need to get another truck to tow my car, the 1990 GMC 1500 was not cutting it through some of the hills, and we almost broke down.
