A little shameless advertising for your tuner?

It still made me happy in my pants.

The car's a little funky looking (ricey), but the numbers are pretty good. I hope you have the gearing to pull with that kind of rpm. Yah, music was pretty obnoxious.

Are you gonna run it at the drags? I wouldn't be suprised if you aren't as much of a "V8 Kila" against a properly set up V8 RWD car. Getting your rx7 to hook with an IRS will be a nightmare, with lots of broken parts. Ask the vette guys about that.

Still, a fine effort.

That was such a clean car....Everything about it flows so well, and ontop of that 685RWHP... Simply amazing. Great job on the Video aswell, I didnt have any problems with the music! Congrats to all involved. I cant wait to see your car with that amount of power! And to think i was happy with ~300 in mine!

You might have to try the link a few times if you're running IE. Cause sometimes Megaupload trips out and closes IE.

Wait... you have ANOTHER 13b-re and ANOTHER turbo and a custom intake going into the FB soon? Did I read that right Alex? If so, AWSOME! You got to beat 685, why not shoot for a even 700?

You read right. It'll be built in the near future, but won't be installed yet.
When I go widebody, I will remove my engine - paint the compartment, and
then install the new goodies. Jaytech, big throttlebody, half-bridge, ceramic seals - the works.

I want 600+, but not that much more. I want to be able to run pump gas as well. That FD drinks only C-16. I want 525-550 on pump gas, and 600+ on the blue juice. My new Turbo should support up to 650ish.. It's smaller than the one on that silver FD.

The scary part is, there is a 20B 1st gen with all the goodies being finished around here. It will be a 700+ HP monster. I contemplated going 20B as well, but I refuse to sink that kind of dough and power on an FB. I'd rather spend it on a newer ride - like an RX-8.

Although, I plan to put my current power-plant into an RX-8, for a nice DD.
460 rwhp on pump gas should be pretty decent for an RX-8.

Nope. I plan to get an RX-8 for the wife as a Daily driver for a couple of years.
Then, when she wants another ride (She really wants an Benz SL500) - I get to keep the RX-8.
