whats the street racing theme? is that stickers and huge exhaust or sleeper monster engine with no clues about it theme??

I think the theme is: "I just got my first car, what can I do that will impress the ladies in the 10th grade?"

Which type of RX-7 do you have? you are goign to find your goals much easier to reach if you were to start with a GSL-SE rather than a GSL, GS, or S model. The reason being is a GSL-SE starts off with fuel injection, a better drivetrain, stronger tranny, and a common bolt pattern and offset: 4x114.3 and roughly a 38-42 mm offset.

Good luck, and post some pictures as you go along.

Peace
Geoff

not true. what if all out speed was his goal? then he'd start out with a gs hardtop like myself ;)
buuuuuttttttt if he wants to rice somethin out se is the way to go
gsl-se does not have stronger tranny, same exact tranny as 12a cars, just different 5th gear ratio
gsl-se? bah who needs em :p:

I'm sorry for not knowing a thing about rx-7's.

My bad, he's right. No matter WHAT engine you want to put in your car, the 12a chassis, in itself, makes your car capable of at least 100 hp more than a gsl-se *rolls eyes*

I guess i'll go back to finishing my current rice project now.

I dont see any of you guys actually helping him out.

I love it LOL

What are you saying? 12a motors are faster than 13b motor?

Lets not start arguing here guys...There was a lot of sarcasim in both posts above...

Gamble was pointing out that some of the "differences" that Geoff had pointed out were inaccurate. He then made a comment about "GSL-SEs, who needs them" this was sarcasim which can be seen by the use of the ":p:" face. He was joking. Geoff just kinda took it a little personally and the returned sarcasim.

Anyway, lets not start to argue now guys. After all, its Christmas :).

~T.J.

Of course!! Where have you been? The 12A is the fastest 4 cylinder engine out there. The 13B is a "rotary" V-6, but the 12A is better.**

Actually, GSL-SE trannies also have a vent on the side of them that the 12A cars trannies don't have.
So, HA!, in your face!!**











**Just kidding. More of that weird humor.

Ok well first of all im not in tenth grade and why does it
matter how old i am and what my reason is for wanting to supe it up all i asked was for help not sarcasm or ruddnes but thanks to everyone else who provided me with the awsome links and gamble 302 my goal is speed lol. Call me dumb but i dont know wich type i dont know much about mazda rx7's or performance cars in general thats why i am asking questions thats the only way to learn.Also gamble how do i figure out wicht type of rx7 i have ? Its not a really good one but i plan on making it one lol cause i got money to spend on it but right now its a 4 cylindor lol and a automatic lol but i plan on changing that as far as i understand 84 mazda rx7's didnt originally come with auto transmission they came with speed but anyway the car was free and im happy with it and it is in ment condition well thats all later guys

-j.t.

Yeah unfortunetly there's a few auto's out there.

.

Lets all pronounce it slowly R.....O.....T....A......R.....Y......
But seriously man you got a rotary engine (2 triangles spinning, no pistons going boing boing) under your hood. One of the best reasons to own a 7. I forget off the top of my head some of the really good sites that explain how they work but I'm sure some of the other forum membes would be kind enough to put them up.

I see your from roseville.

which state?
if michigan then im right below you, if so maybe i can help.

here's an easy/obvious one....

www.howstuffworks.com/rotary-engine.htm

3 rotor!

hahah you guys are so cold blooded its called a spelling error and rx7 nut man you just need to find somthing else better to do that critisize people

And also i plan on dropping a six or an eight if possible in it and making some other major modifications in other words i really like rx7's so i am gonna put a good amount of money in to it to make it as sick as fuck. so just because it is kinda lame right now doesnt mean its gonna be like that for ever duh lol

What's up man!!! Merry Christmas.

Hey, if you really like Rx7's, keep anything with a valve-train out of the engine bay. RX7's are rotary, otherwise it's just another muscle car with a body. And we all know that muscle cars handle like shit. The light rotary allows very close weight distrabution of the car. That's why they handle so well:) You can kiss that goodbye with a V8. Rotarys also really like to rev, and with the abscence of a valvetrain, they do so very quickly. They have more characteristics of a 2 cycle motor, but it works uniquely.

So please..... read, learn, aply, and enjoy! Once you learn the power of rotarys, it will change the way you look at performance.

Good luck and congrats on the car:)

well shit! i need some vents in my motor mounts then, maybe it'd make em stronger:D

as for your car's model, i think that gs was the lowest model that came with autos. not sure on that. the ebst way to tell is to describe it to us. if its got disc brakes in the rear its a gsl. if not it should be a gs.

best thing to do is research. and then research again like you are lookin for the hoy grail. you really shouldnt spend a dime on yer car til you figure out exactly what you want to do.

and come on now fellas, dont even start the v8 discussion. been done before. a little hint 84rexman, dont bring up that topic til yer serious about doing it lol. these guys go nuuuuuuuuts.

welcome to the club though. stick around, meet some people, learn some stuff, and waste some time :cool:

later
gamble

Welcome to hell....ahem.....I mean the jungle........ahem......I mean the forum....yea thats it....the forum. Dont get offended, they do this to all the new guys, kinda like a sport ya know! Just grow a thicker skin and ignore it. But you do have to be more specific with your questions/goals.

hey you'll learn quick most the rotor heads on here dont like it is you say anything about putting a 4,6 or 8 cylinder engine in a rx

they will jump all over you about the weight and handling and all that when they have never been in one and probly never seen one.

www.v8rx7.com if you want to talk about pisss ton motors without getting hammered on.

hahah ok i wont take it personal but like i said i dont knwo much about rx7's thats why i asked about the v8 but now i definitley wont put one in lol ill proly just stick to a 12a 4 cylander and i havnt started puting any money into it yet well not that much money lol just momo steering wheel footpedal's and ebrake handlelol
but anyways thanks for all the reply's' lets keep it comin

12A is NOT a 4 cylinder.


Rotary engines are NOT 4cylinders, 6 cylinders, 8 cylinders, 10 cylenders, whatever. All they do is beat all of them :D . Did you check out that link? www.howstuffworks.com/rotary-engine.htm

I REPEAT.... YOU DO NOT HAVE CYLINDERS.

hes a got a master cylinder and lock cylinders :D

Oh yeah sorry about that well then is it called just a 12a 4 ? lol im clueless man and yeah i read a little bit

Rotary does exhibit all 4 cycles of the otto cycle :) LOL

the 12a and 13b are 2 rotor motors. consists of 2 little triangels spinning inside a oval shaped rotor housing. very efficient design.
One tip, almost everyhting you know about Piss-ton engins... throw it out the window. the rotary motor os alot more simple to work on than piss-ton motors. If you go at the rotary thinking in piss-ton terms it will never make sense.
good luck, lear what you can..
check out the link that someone posted earlier.

just 12a

bwahahahah
yes, throw everything you know about pissed on motors out the window
hahahahahahahah
stupidest thing ever said
well its way up there anyways, its between that comment you just made and when my buddy tried to tell me that k'new was ebtter than legos. i mean common, you cant beat legos

im tired of this piston hating bullshit.
pistons are not evil, they are not worse than wankels. its all a matter or preference. gas/electric hybrids are great too. there are other motors out there besides the rotary. stop the hating
where would we be without your hot rodding ancestors? did the model t have a wankel? shit no! without that car you would be happily talkin about modding your horseshoes and puttin scoops on your saddle. do you think the semi that carried your rx-7 to the dealer had a rotary? did the ship that took it accross the pond have a wankel? what about the school busses that take kids to school? the world does not revolve around the rotary engine
yes very cool engine and design, but its not the only one. i wish people would take their my dog can eat your dog attitude and shove up their..... noses

yes some people dont like piston motors in rx-7's, but some people also dont like wheels bigger than 15's on em, but you dont see those guys going ape shit. or the guys that prefer carbs/efi or turbo/na.

i think if one motor could ever start a civil war between car lovers this would be the one. we are CAR enthusiasts here. so realize that cars didnt always have little triangles and jsut because they dont have them bah i give up
i have a dreaaaammmmm.
(thats what i feel like here)
ok enough ranting for now

happy holidays

scratch that
 

Never mind scratch that question im dumb i know it goes by the make lol

Pistons are great as long as they're in at least a 4.15" piston bore in a V-8 configuration or have the name Ferrari on the valve covers, but they are not great in a Rotary eXperimental/Export 7...that is the problem with pistons in this "Rotary Community" as it so proudly states on the homepage.... ;) :cool:

yes yes, but that doesnt mean that pistons should get flamed so hard core. you know what i mean?

hehe yeah if i ever find a wrecked e250 with a triton v10 at the junk yard that baby is going straight into an fb ;)

Pistons should get flamed when the car exists because of the rotary. If you don't give two shits about the rotary engine in your 7, sell it and go buy a Z.

Seriously it isn't that hard to understand.

Piston motors are fine, but in a rotary? C'mon now don't be foolish. That's like buying a Mac and putting a pentium in it, or getting filet mignon well-done, or buying a beautiful in-ground pool then filling it up and replacing it with an equal sized (or larger) above ground pool. Some things just aren't done, and putting a piston engine in a rotary powered vehicle is one of them...

yet you would have no problem with a 20b powered ae86 or similar small import? or rotary midgets

a project is a project. if someone decides they want to throw a turbo 4 from a turbo coupe or a 350 from a chevy into an fb, its a project. same as swappin piston cars to rotarys.

would you flame me if i said i want to put a street port 12a into an opel gt? i bet not

i see a future where all motors are treated equally :-p

now if youll excuse me, im going to continue drooling at the thought of a filet mignon. mmmmmmmm baaaaaccccccooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnn

Guys that want to put a rotary into something else I would direct to the general rotary corner of this Forum...I would tell them they are posting in the wrong place, this corner is for 1stgen rotary tech...and for Manntis to ply his wares...:p:

ok yes, but its still the same idea of putting the wrong motor in a car
lol at the wares comment

and whats the deal? why doesnt this one have 5 stars?
hahahaha

who keeps rating all the threads anyways (shakes head)

I'm betting the guy that starts the thread...he lets it go for a couple of posts, then comes back to see the response..."This is the best damn thread I've ever seen!!!" and then he rates his post..lol..;)

So, if it doesn't fit your tastes, it doesn't belong?

Methinks someone didn't watch enough Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers as a child...

I think he means "I reserve the right to hate whatever I think is stupid" and I gotta agree with a statement like that.

Hmm, your Grand Master tell you that?

Oh, man, here we go down the dark path once again....this is a rotary community....there's a site all its own little bad self...www.v8rx7.com/ for the heathens, it doesn't need to be here in 1stgen rotary tech...simple as that...;)

Don't worry, I wouldn't ask any of you for motor advice on a 302, I wouldn't want you to have to bother with it (or thumb through pages of name calling and closed-minded BS). This forum is fun for suspension, brake, and exterior upkeeping and mods though...


I think I'll stay.


Hi.


:p:

And how about 680 rwhp from a turbo'd 12A?? No V6/V8 weight penalty and all the fun of riding on a grenade....:p:

Weight Penalty? I love hearing this from rotary guys. Especially ones with stereo's, AC's, power accessories, etc. If my car doesn't weigh under 2500 with myself sitting behind that ugly old V8, I'll shoot it Elvis style (pretend like it's a Pantera and it won't start!).

I might have fun turbo-ing a rotary if I had money to throw around, but...I don't. Guess I should put up my sig here?

Don't get me wrong - I GREATLY respect fast rotary-powered cars. They just aren't in my budget, or expertise....yet. Of course, I also respect extremely powerful B16's, B18's, H22's, SR20DET's, KA24DE's, 3SGTE's, and even those pesky little 2JZGTE's...in fact, you find me a single one of those combo's that easily bolts into my cute lil 85 GSL and gives me the ability to run tens (reliably), car included, for a grand total of under 3 grand, and I'll jump at the chance. Til then, though...it's 30 year old Windsor power for this particular project.

Putting a V8 in your 7? Good for you; but don't tell me I gotta like it, or even respect it. Those are my decisions to make, not yours.

Re: scratch that

ROFL, How did I miss this thread...lol

Not at all - there are just certain things which are stupid, and certain things which aren't.

Taking all of the cheesecake out of a blueberry cheesecake and replacing it with chocolate may taste fine, but it's a stupid thing to do.

Taking the female parts out of your wife/girlfriend/significant other and replacing them with male... well, it might suit your tastes better, but damn if I won't shake my head and mutter "damn that's just wrong".

And so the same reaction comes from me whenever someone mentions Rx-7 and piston in the same thought. If I enjoyed a flat 6 in my rotary... er Rx-7, I'd be posting on the www.ruintherx7.com forum. :D

So sure, feel free to do whatever you want to your 7, but don't post in a rotary forum about how you just blew your head gasket, your valvetrain is being bitchy, or that you decided to get a sex change and are looking for a man now. :D
