for asking this, but its bugging me. Ive heard two diffrent people say that some FCs came with I4s. And these two people are genrally not stupid people. Is there any truth to this at all? And if there is(which there better not be), WHY?

 

no, and HEEEEEELLLLLSS NAW!!!! These people might be knowledgeable with some cars but they are automatically asked to step away from my car if they make an ignorant statement like that.....if I were you I would whip my ridiculously average ***** out and smack them across the face with it.

 

The S4 base model came with 14's

 

DOOD THAT's NOT A "1" IT's an "I" as in INLINE 4!!!!!!!!!!

 

sam is right... the base S4 models DO come with 14's...

 

I know he is right, but the question is not about rim size, it's about the engine!!!!!!!! I4.....INLINE 4!!!!!!

 

pwaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahah
this whole thread is priceless!!!



"DOOD HE MEANS INLINE 4!!! WE HAVE BEEN INFECTED!!! GET THE SOAP!!!"

HAHAHAHAHAHA GG yall!

 

Ya, hes right. Alright, Ill have to slap them with MY ridiculously average *****.

 

it makes me wonder, since miata engines love boost so much, i could boost one to a easy 300hp, and stick that in a rx7.....hmmm..... a reliable rx7....that still stays in the mazda family...

 

I dont know....... reliable RX7.......... sounds kinda like blashphemy to me........

 

I NEED DISINFECTANT!!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE???????lol, FC's should have either rotaries or torquey V8's!!!!! WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU PUT AN I4 IN THERE?????a GNX turbo V6 at least!!!

 

hahahahaha

 

A V8?????!?!?!?! SOMEONE BAN HIS *** RIGHT NOW! THE ONLY ENGINE I WILL ACCEPT IS A SUPRA I6!!! AND THATS PUSHING IT!!

 

 

jet engine

 

It seems counterintuitive to me...........you are going to put a 119 t0 146 HP engine and completely rebuild it so it can withstand 300HP, then install it in a car that is heavier that the car it was originally in.......I'm sorry but no matter what engine you use it will lose reliability when you slap on forced induction and that much boost.........stick with the TII motor and go from there.......my .02 cents

 

haha, i was just kidding, but you never know it may work? miata engines can handle 15psi on stock internals, so you can boost pretty well and not worry about reliablility. just depends on how you take care of it

 

how about maintaining your car and then it will be plenty reliable rather than complaining about it when you **** it up

 

we need to keep this FC specific people.........FC's ARE NOTHING BUT ROTARIES FROM THE FACTORY!!!!! NOT A V6, an I4 nor a V4 as some idiot asked me once!

 

ok ok sorry people i was just playing around

 

hey, v8 rx7's aren't that bad

I drove one with a 302, and it was fast, but also still handled very well, it was an autocross car too

 

is this thread still not closed?

 

I dunno, awhile back I was thinking of dropping my protege engine into an rx7.... oh yeah I can see it now. beating all those horse buggies.

it's funny...Madrx7racer said "my .02 cents" that's like, 2/100ths of a cent.

 

i didnt read al this crap as so many posts were about I4 vs 14.
maybe he was (your friend) thinking of an old Mazda that had an I4 whereas there was a Rotary version with, well, a rotary.. it wasnt an RX7, but there were other RXs.
*(about to try and find which models i'm thinking of and double checkin to make sure they were in fact both Mazdas)*

"Between the years of 1970-1971, the first vehicles to see U.S. shores were the R100, Familia (the Japanese 1200cc-piston-powered R100), 1800, rx-2, AND 616 (piston-powered RX-2)."

 

i think the GLC was one of the piston versions, not sure though.
