Omg Best Cars Ever!!!!

I just went and checked that guy's 7 out. Thread here ---> https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...hreadid=110243

Any ways there was nothing stock on the car. It had so much crap i don't care to explain. But that mother ****** was friggin fast as hell! He said it ran an 11sec 1/4 mile which is totally believable.
Just watching the boost gauge go to 0 then boom! ******* 10 psi and your head thrown into the leather. Oh god that **** was amazing.

Well that set the standard for me. There's no way from here on out that i'll consider ne thing but the sevens for now. However, being only 17 yrs old I don't trust myself in that car. Perhaps i'll just get a bone stock t2 and mod it as i get more experience.

God these cars F'n ROCK!

Ha Ha, sounds good man. Damn that sounds like a blast!

Well, when you get that TII, go ahead and start saving up for mods, or more or less "problems" (ie engine/turbo failure or both) Go ahead and read the **** out of the FSM and the Haynes.

Well man, have fun, im sure you will love every bit of time you spend with it!

www.fc3s.org has the factory service manual you can download. Otherwise be prepared to spend $80+ dollars for the manual from the dealer.

For the Haynes manual, just go to your local autoparts store and ask for it there. I think they cost about $15.00.

damn i feel so sick knowing that i'm going to have to let that car go. Such a damn good deal. Wish things were different. Any ways if any of you guys can help me find a 7. I'd GREATLY APPRECIATE IT. There is literally no in my area, so finding a good one is a major rarity.

Glad to see someone /w some sense around here. Most people seem to think they are invincable.

Any other mods than you mentioned before? I remeber the first TII I went to see and it was modified pretty well too. I remember having exactly the same feeling of excitement!

cone filter.
So much stuff. I wish i had a digital camera.

what else.... what else....
well he didn't have the presilencer on his RB full exhaust, left the cat on. LEft it on for when he gets pulled over, so he can't get a ticket for an illegal exhaust.
Oh yea --- how could i forget! BOV. That thing was one of the major highlights. TSHHHHHHHHHH.

well i know little to almost nothing about turbo's. So the only question i asked pertaing to that was what are you runnign at? He said 10 psi. I was a little scared, becasue Aaron in my previous thread up top said anything above 8 you should be wary of.

I'm not +ve, but isn't 10psi more than enough given it was an S5 and had a cat?

BTW: If that's all the stuff he had, he wasn't running 11s. If he had the right fuel management over stock fuel cut isn't the end of the world. (sounds like he probably did)
