Some people prefer form over function, I myself prefer function over form. That BHR car, I think it's an old golf, looks like a beast. Nice cars. Who cares if your called a ricer, I still find it hard to believe why that is such a bad thing.

Not exactly high hp/tq (149/115), but it's on a somewhat stock '89 so I guess it's alright. Here's a pic of my dyno sheet from Sunday:

The graph starts at 4000 and they only pulled to 7500. It's probably not very helpful, but maybe it will give you an idea. Here's the thread explaining mods, why they didn't pull to 8k, etc: https://www.rx7club.com/time-slips-dyno-128/update-89-na-dyno-1-4-mile-10-14-a-696562/

The beer can was obviously a joke.

well depends what you will use it for?? some ports often make tons of torque top end (which are the huge streetports, bridgeports and P-PORTS) and then you have your mild/large streetports and such that make good torque for street use....

Wow, you sure showed me. My spirit's broken, I'm giving up. Here's a pic of me driving my POS riced out car to the junkyard.

BTW, Ford owns a major stake in Mazda. I bet you'll also tell me that the ARP wheel studs meant for a Corvette that I'm using also makes the car a POS despite the fact that they fit perfectly and are functional for when I need to put the spacers on to use my track wheels. How about the tires that I got off of a Subaru STi? Are they crap despite the fact that they're the right size, last a long time for an ultra high performance tire, give phenomenal performance and were relatively cheap?

The moderators have no problems with banning people, read the rules and live by them or go away. Also, name calling is a sure sign that you're loosing an argument because you've got nothing intelligent to say, so you resort to the lowest common denomenator.

At very least we can all be civil to one another, I mean what's so hard about that?

The car does not have to be a daily driver, and I will be doing a lot of driving events in it. I live an hour away from the scca headquarters and track (Heartland Park Topeka) Not driving it in any sort of class, because they put a streetport into GTII which is a tube-frame car class. I don't want to run ITB because it is a non-ported, limited prep class. They have the track open almost every wendsday for 4 hours in the summer. Not to mention PCA, audi club and BMW club events. I will be doing a lot of track driving and I don't care how good of a street car it is. I got others.

[QUOTE=classicauto;7422254]His car's not rice. Search for pics.
Oh yeah just a POS.


Where is the written pre-requiste for dollars spent on rims before its classified as a "mod"? Although I will say you do take your own advice since your car currently rocks stock wheels and tires. Also, does this mantra of yours also include installation costs? Because generally speaking most of us here actually perform our own mods:
The mod I was refering to was the Beer can. And I too do all my mods except rebuilding my motor because I have never done that and want it done right.
and:
Its still holds up fine. Theres many people out there running the n/a drivetrain.
Does the Rotary Doctor give you your taste in wheels too?
Its nice how you chopped off the last part and got that from a different thread. I was talking about the rearend.

Whoop-dee-******-doo. Whats your point? Our car's come factory with "ford" parts, whats a set of rims on-top of the rest? Better not put Volks on that baby, they're not factory!!
Please name the FORD parts that came on our cars?? Volks would be fine. I would rather have any style stock mazda rims over a mustang rim.


Now you're just being ignorant.
I thought more of a didnt you??


Sure, but the insults violate forum rules which = ban
Uh oh banned from here


Again with the ban material.



No, that was a joke actually. These "jokes" are made to be funny. They can be found in social situations stemming from light hearted comments or items placed on thigns they wouldn't normally be found on in order to evoke laughter from the people watching. These "jokes" or "funnies" are common place in a funcitonal socitey.
Really thanks for all the info...


I don't understand this. FIgure out what who has? and why?
A MAZDA


Was the Camaro comment supposed to be a joke? I think so but I'm not sure. Since you can't very easily understand them, one can only assume you can't very easily duplicate one either.
It was a joke very good. Why do they weigh more???
I don't wish to get into a mud-tossing fest with you, but for the love of God, develop on ounce of respect in your being. Life's much more fun that way.
I have respect for people that deserve it.

Just because Ford owns part of Mazda does not mean they make our parts. If you notice how every part you order from the dealership says made in japan. How long have they owned it?? Nothing intelligent... look at this guys car and how did I get you involved exactly?? Oh thats right cuz you like those mustang rims thats how...

And I will speak my opion any day of the week especially to dumb ***** like that(you). He calls a BEER can a MOD???WTF. I wasnt owned why dont you figure out First what the hell you even have and 2. where the closest junk yard is and tow that POS down there. Probly get like $50. You wouldve got more with CAMARO rims THough They weigh more....
What mod can I not afford to do? I just bought the car, and I am rebuilding it MYSELF this winter. It will have custom ground control suspension with camber plates, Lightened and reinforced (seam welded), roll cage, s5 intake ported and polished, at least a big street port, custom header and exhaust, and that is all that really matters. I must sound like a dumb farmer to you. Here is some of my other rides (seriously)

Oh yeah, and they are worth more than your life. Mods please ban this idiot.

I would be happy with 300 or less, anything over that is just ludicrous because the car is un-drivable. I have drove a few 600hp cars and they were just no fun because you could not get any acceleration because they just went sideways.

I was thinking of running a Split second MAF conversion which gives you a piggyback box with ***** on the front. Do you think that will be enough? I do not know about injector size. I have very little experience with these engines. Do you know of anyone that has used split second before?

http://www.splitsec.com/

here is their wiring harness. I think it could be done.

Last time I talked to them, it doesn't work with the Mazda stuff.
They had no plans on making it work with the Mazda stuff either.
This was like almost 10 years ago, so maybe they changed their minds?

On a serious note why not go with a Apexi? Would be easy to tune on a N/A.

While there may or may not be any parts in common between the FC and a Ford, the Mazda 3 and Ford Focus are based on the same car, same engines, etc. Same thing for the Mazda 6 and the Ford 500. The Mazda pickups have for quite some time been just re-badged Ford Rangers and the Mazda Tribute and the Ford Escape are the same vehicle. This dates back even to the era when the FC was built as the original MX-6 and Probe were based on the same car.

Just because they're from a Mustang doesn't make the wheels any less good. You simply can't find anything wrong with them so all you have to attack is their origin, which is a pretty stupid argument. Would you discard a set of nice BBS wheels for instance if they'd previously been used on a Mustang? How does that make them any less worthy? It really doesn't matter where they came from as long as they perform, and these do. I respect performance in whatever package it comes in, whether it be a Mazda, a Ford, a Chevy, or whatever. Mazda's not some perfect company bestowed onto us by the almighty god or something. They're just another car maker that happened to have made a car that we happen to like.

They still do not make a kit, but most AFM work with a 0-5 volt signal (or 5-0) and as long as it had that it would work, and then I could get rid of the flapper, which visually looks like a restriction in the air intake. I know their is a lot of debate on this, but I installed one (ss maf) on my lost vw (black one) and it made a noticeable difference, and a half second of my et.

Wiring is one of my strong points, and wiring equations are even better. So I really want to do it. What size injectors though?

As for the Apexi I have no knowledge of it. This is my first Jap car (that I have wanted to mod).
