Well, a 4" exhaust tip. is not a performance mod.. and will not make the car faster.. A k&N air filter might get you ~5hp..


So you might be around 180rwhp and the car probably weighs ~3300lbs because of your stereo and your weight.


So the fastest you could run would be a 15.35 with those stats...

Dude, a K&N drop-in filter and a big wing is not going to make you faster than a 3rd gen.

You have 200 bhp (ok, add 2 hp with the drop in). A 3rd gen has 255 bhp stock.

Maybe his liscense plate should read "EX-MAZDA." I doubt it's recognizable as an RX-7 anymore... =P

Steve

P.S. Assuming it's not B.S., EX-HONDA, lol, welcome to the boards man, you can learn a lot here! Don't let any teasing get to ya, once you pick up some knowledge, you'll get to tease some guys too! Have fun with your RX-7 while it lasts...

P.P.S. Had to throw this in from another thread, it's TOO funny! lol

I think you need to find out what was actually done to your car, not just cosmetics.

Uh...did ANYONE else see the "cut springs for lowering" part? Please, dont do that. It will kill your suspension and you'll probably wreck that car going around a turn in your "fast car". And dont believe an air filter will give you 5+hp. It breathes easier, sounds louder, and only gives you a bit more response. That doesn't equal 15 hp, like they guarantee. I can see you have been disgracing hondas so now you thought getting a mazda would redeem you....

buy a boost guage, your probably close to fuel cut with that filter. i think this guy is bullshitting, euro lights? cut springs? adjustable wing? THIS IS NOT A HONDA!

If you do have the car please take them out, you do know the term Ricer means right? (it's a bad thing)

Your friend must be a bad driver cause a FD can murder you stock vs. stock. you run 14.9 he runs 13.9.

I don't think that this guy is legit. I think his post is bogus, and his car is bogus as well. Someone has obviously created an alter ego. God help us all if this guy is for real..... if so he is obviously dilusional if he thinks he out runs FDs with those mods.

So what you are saying is that, since you can pull on a low 13 sec car, you can do at least high 12's.

Man. What the hell have I been wasting my money on, lol!!!.

Ported engine, big Turbo, FMIC....when all I really need is some snazzy lights, a big-*** wing, and a whole pile of BS to run 12's....damm!

I'll tell you why:

'89 turboII
K&N filter (in box)
4in. chrome tips(exaust)
55in adjustable aluminum wing
12 in. subs(2)
custom paint job, metalic purple with white rx7 decal on hood
hood clips
euro tail lights
monster tach with shift light
autometer gauges: water temp, volt, oil pressure
tinted windows
cut springs to lower
THAT'S WHY!!!!!!!!!

By the way, loose the wing. Put it back when your car reaches 160mph on the 1/4 mile.


Could it be the chrome tips or the 12 in. subs that make it go faster?
