So is it just a TII motor with no turbo?

Come on Kevin, the joke is not funny if i dont get it.

 

So uh...yeah.

The joke is they take stock turbo engines and remove the turbos purposely. Everyone thinks the japanese are mystical tuners and all JDM rx7s run around with 400rwhp and have engines that last 10 years at a time. I just thought this might get a laugh or 2.



DO none of you guys ever go and look around at some of the **** on yahoo japan, or other japanese sites? They have all kinds of cool and wierd ****. Not only rx-7 stuff, either.

 

"Steering wheel: The left handle"

lol, other languages are stupid

 

no, because i cant read japanese.

 

you can't read english either, but that doesnt stop you from looking at the pictures does it now?

 

those seats made me cream my pants.

not too sure I dig the header though

my TII was plenty reliable till I went and bridgeported it... oops.

 

oh and you dont think those non turbo TII engines have 400 hp? You better believe they do.

 

HEY!

 

Wow, from what I can tell they just connected an intake tube over where the intercooler piping used to connect to the TB. I wish it had a larger pic of the engine bay so I could see what it looked like better. Anyway, that is some funny **** right there.

 

Holy ****, I just looked at the second one. Anyone who thinks that is a running car is an idiot. Just from looking at the pictures, you can tell its a flaming piece of crap. He just pulled a/c compressor and left the lines there. Plus the damn belts are loose. It even says that it has bad compression, but that it must have been a mistake in testing it. Wow, that thing is a piece of work.
Also, the wording is weird because the translator does a literal translation, with doesn't ever sound right in any language.

 

From what I can tell, the japanese could give a rat's *** about selling used rx7s. They post a car up with one or 2 pics and no real information, and it doesnt get any bids, even with a starting bid of like 100 dollars.

 

I'm sure somebody here would like to have these:

16" BBS infini wheels.

 

Did i do the math wrong on this?!?!?!?!
$68 ?!?!?!?!

 

most used rx7 parts sell for DIRT over there. like I said, from what I can tell, nobody really cares. Problem is, they don't really want to deal with us over here, nor ship to us...so it doesnt really matter.

For instance, this appears to be a series 5 turbo upgrade with a starting bid of $43. Seller doesnt ship int'l though. http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m32626542

We need someone on the forum to be a reliable liason, to find us parts, win auctions, pack and ship them for a reasonable fee. The few guys that I know of that are in japan, are pretty unreliable and hard to get ahold of.

 

I'm sure we could all have a blast in a wrecking yard over there. Ultra rare super tuning ECU just sitting there. Stacks of BBS 16 infini wheels. Stock exhaust that no one thinks about but we would love because of no cats. All for 10k yen

 

Damn we need some Japanese friend that will help us and ship us some parts! w00t w00t!

 

Is that a sock?

 

Hmmmm, my friend in the Marines is stationed in Japan. I should talk to him, I could start an importing business or something
