I was told:
If I want to make my car faster, all I have to do is add more rotors. I could add about 3 more. They just bolt on.
He said his friend added 4 rotors to his RX2 and it was hella fast after that.

 

LOL that's one of the funniest things I've heard so far. It's amazing how little car sense people have sometimes

 

nice, i think its time someone came out with a rotor-add-on kit... bolts up to the main pulley and you're good to go!

 

I dunno, I put on 4 rotors and now I just stop faster. :P

 

No No! It bolts to the alternator!

 

^^^SWEET
I want one

 

holy **** thats nice is that a custom built pulley or would you happen to know if they sell those somewhere? ive never seen that b4

 

This wasn't my RX-7 but one I saw one one of my friends dad's track videos from back in the 70's, was up in Chicago somewhere...

Either way it was a big drag race meet and all the big names were there... BMW, Mercedes, etc. etc. and up rolls this dinky looking Mazda... In fact thats waht you can hear the BMW guys jeering among other things... Mazda gets off the trailer and they start to decide which cars will go against which... turns out Mazda against BMW in the first round.. you can hear all the people joking about how the Mazda is going to get its *** handed to it and all... Mazda comes around the side of the track and starts up its engine... only has a collector on it and immediately it is obviously the loudest car anyone has ever heard... people start wondering wtf is in that car if its this loud just idling into place... you can barely make out some guy yelling "I think its a jet, is that legal?".... BMW guy looks over at the Mazda guy with a little hesitation and then the jeering continues... Mazda guy just has this smirk a mile wide the entire time... Now the fun part... collectors coming out the right side facing the BMW guys front window, almost like aiming at it... the lights go down and BAM the Mazda guy guns it... Incredibly loud people are like wincing from the volume... As the Mazda guy flies through first and shifts at high rpms, huge backfire comes out and actually cracks the BMW cars window... funniest thing I ever saw in my life was the look on the BMW's crew faces... holy **** everyone is speechless when it finishes a whole second and a quarter faster than the BMW except the Mazda crew who are just laughing and cheering, just having the time of their life... Needless to say when I saw this video I dropped all aspirations of owning a cameo or a super bird or a cuda and said with big round eyes full of desire "I want one of THOSE!"... two months later I bought an FB

other cool/funny quotes
local parts store guy "damn those rotary rockets are fast, near stock weekend racers used to come out and spank our sponsored cars"

co-worker "well if there so great than why weren't they in the lemans last year"
me "cause they were banned"
co-worker "why cause they are unreliable slow ****"
me " no cause they made porches, beamers, and mercades cars look like unreliable slow ****"

guy at swap meet "320 hp on a 1.3 liter engine your lieing"
me "lets go down to the dyno then and bet on it loser pays..."
...I dynoed 327

 

^I wanna see that video.

 

^I wanna see that video too!



The rotor alternator pulley was made by Higgi I think. Hopefully he will some day make more.

 

I saw this on another thread regarding which spark plugs to use...

"I went to get some plugs from autozone and they insisted the rotary doesn't use spark plugs."


My reply...

"I'm glad to hear that the rotary does NOT use spark plugs. I can save some money on my next tune up ;-)"

 

y'know Autozone's retarded commercials are enough to keep me from shopping there. absolutely pathetic.

 

I just got a ''wow, nice 300ZX man'' today.

 

And the answer is, "Why yes, it is nicer than a 300zx"

 

I was with my best friend ( big honda fan and ricer ). He was riding with me to a meet. I **** in to 3rd gear and it grinds,
Him: You need to check your tranny grease it sound like you did not put enough in when you changed your lsd ring and pinion.
Me: I didn't touch the tranny its rwd.
Him: so?
Me: The diff. is in the rear man. Its completely separate from the transmission.
Him: uhh ( never said a word again till we got to the meet)

Random comments from stangers

How is that a rx7
Me: yeah
I had one of those is it twin turbo
me: no!!, FC' never came twin turbo
Oh yes they did mine said turbo II
Me: lol, thats just the model ( and then whent to explain all about the fc)

on another ocasion a guy comes up to and says: my freind has a 3 rotor fc its a JDM version.
Me: nope!
what do you mean?
Me: the only car that came with a 20b aka 3 rotor rotary engine was the cosmos and it was only sold in japan, your buddies car has a engine swap.
no wonder he is always complaning about strange looks and wierd comments from autoparts clerks when he gives them the cars info.
Me: yep!
he walks away

 

LOL! No wonder it grinds!

Don't feel bad, mine used to **** into 2nd until I replaced the synchronizers.

 

You know, it might just be me, but shitting into gear may not be the best way to work your transmission...lol.

I just started my car up yesterday, and a buddy that helped me stab the transmission in was there (he also goes to my tech school, really cool guy). It starts backfiring, shooting flames, and all around sounding like ***. (apparently a loose transmission ground cable will do that...)

"Hey, youre gonna burn up your valv....god damn rotary."

 

I was at Canadian Tire buying some fitting wrenches as I was sick of using the adjustable for AN fittings. While the kid was opening the locked cabinet he saw the shiney AN fittings in my hand and the conversation went somethine like this:

Him: Those for your car?
Me: Yep.
Him: Those blue fittings sure look nice
Me: Yeah. I'm doing every fluid connection with AN fittings to make the car bulletproof
Him: What car?
Me: '86 RX-7
Him: Honda makes some really good cars. I love the RX-7
Me: No, RX-7
Him: Hondas are my favourite. Do you drift?

I smiled, nodded and kept my mouth shut while he took the tools to the cashier.

 

Omg....what an insult.

Yo should have kicked him in the nuts.

 

I can see how he got there, I guess - my bet is he was confusing RX7 and CRX. You can drift a front drive car, if you put the rear tires on cafeteria trays and lock the e-brake up.

 

Cafeteria Trays? Way too expensive, just drive it in reverse!!!

 

Great comments- I needed a good laugh today. I too have a couple:

#1: Back when I had my 87 TII in college at Auburn, I let a GF drive her on one of the back roads. She got in the drivers seat and slowly pressed the gas not really getting into the boost. I told her to step on it, to which she did- when the turbo kicked in she screamed and took her hands off the steering wheel damn near wrecking my car. We pulled over and she never wanted to drive again.

#2: I had a lady follow me into a gas station once to tell me specifically that my car smelled like gas which almost asphixiated her, then proceeded to give me a guilt trip about ruining the enviroment.

 

did you run her over and say "HOW YOU LIKE THEM ENVIRONMENTS?!"
because that's the only way the world will survive.

 

That would be an either A. Ask her how much gas she wasted following you in her SUV just to tell you that.

Or a B. Tell her you'll make sure to open the exhaust up a little more so that it WOULD asphixiate her and you wouldn't have to have this stupid conversation.

Maybe a C. Tell her it's not enough to asphixiate her, but you were hoping just to sterilize her so there wouldn't be as many self-important ******** in the world.

 

Why didnt you just get back into your car, start it, and then rev it up to 7k, while asking, how long till you think youll pass out?
