Totally self indulgent post, sorry. I had to do something.
This probably belongs in (and will likely be moved to) the lounge, but I never go there and it is a pic of an fc...

 

Aww, I thought this was going to be a thread about a 500 horsepower FC Congrats on the 500 posts though I guess. I was pretty excited when I hit 1k a little while back.

Oh, I pray for your sake that this does not get moved to the lounge

 

heh, i wish. maybe someday I'll have the funds to drop in a 20b.

me too. I thought some people here might like it.

 

^You don't NEED a 20b to make 500whp in an FC, you can do it with a 2 rotor.

 

its a 2nd gen, its non-technical AND a picture- I say leave it alone!

 

Out of those 500 post how many have people replied telling you to lower your car? :P

 

My dream is really a n/a 20b. I'm not sure what kind of power that would make, but a reliable 300 without any turbos would be fine for me. Heck, I'd be fine with 250, I just think a n/a 20b would be awesome.

a lot, actually.

I'm trying to save up for an RX-8, which means spending as little as possible for a while. But it's getting harder to avoid buying new stuff for the fc.

i.e. I recently blew a coolant hose. Instead of just buying the hose, I also bought a lower radiator hose, a thermostat, all the belts, two gauges and the adapters to install them (so I don't have to drill anything). I almost bought wheel spacers too. Modifying is much more fun than saving.

Everytime I look at it, I want to buy new shocks/springs/tires/etc. I may eventually cave in and do some of my planned upgrades, but I really want an RX-8.

 

 

people actually look at their post count?

 

I had made a post and happened to notice it was at 499, so I thought it would be fun to do something for #500. Nothing serious. I'll probably do something similar for #1000. Though at this rate, that will take a few years.

 

isn't there an a in rotary?

 

oh. you're right. fixed.

 

I sure as hell hope not.

 

party pooper. Sorry I wasted your time.

That won't happen for a long time anyway.

 

I thought it was going to be a 500k on the odometer pic

 

I'm almost halfway there with my sport

 

I hit two fitty this spring...

shootin for 300 before a rebuild. 250 on original seals.. not too bad.

 

nice

I figure my sport doesn't have much going for it, so I'm going for the best mileage I can. 95 psi compression at 202k miles, I hope I can make it last till at least 250k.

 

I'm afraid I'd get too bummed out if I ever checked my compression on my coupe. It's got so many miles, it has to be gettin down there. but it runs like a son of a bitch so I think it may still be doin pretty good. startin to get a puff of white smoke when I start it after sittin for several days, so I prolly got a coolant seal showin some wear
