i have a 87TII with no mods what would you say i should buzz it up to before shifting, how bad does it hurt the car no lifting also

DC350

Funny you asked it. It Takes out carbon deposits. Rotaries love to run. Redline that sucker....Not all the time, but let it rev to 6500 or 7000 before you change gears. But if your just crusins, you know...just like 4500 or whatever you want...racing or adrenaline....yeah 6500 or 7000. My car has a top HP at 6500 so why put it more past that? Just slam it into second. But do redline it sometimes.

Stepdaddy

yeah, i try to keep it around there, when i drive i never know when im ganna shift it could br 5k or 7.5k depends on how i feel, havent raced this one yet but id love to figue out whats the top hp is @

86rx7ntm

without mods ur HP is 182@6500 and torque 183@3500...well I don't know how well would it serve u to redline it in 1st gear at least...I wouldn't do that...rather reline it in all the other gears...my first gear grinds now more than ever before cause I was redlining it...maybe urs wouldn't have that problem...however I would say common sense sggests it's not good for the sychros...well, if u r racing, u can install a line lock and lock the front brakes and free the rear...that way u can even have a decent pickup with a burnout without redlining or hurting the drivetrain...

Stepdaddy

so your sayin not to redline it in fist b/c its not ganna do much for speed/hp but in the rest throw it to 6500 to 7000, and would line locking it help in racing i would figure id lose time trying to get the back to stick to the ground

86rx7ntm

for street racing line locking would help...for the strip u may not need the line lock...different surfaces u r racing on...u know...

Stepdaddy

i race on regular raod im not all about racing at a strip, so you figure the boot level is higher at about 5 to 6 grand keep it there when the light turns green let off the break and find traction on the back wheels? sounds like a damn fine idea, i just hate when the cops give tickes for unsafe starts, the last thing i need is another ticket

86rx7ntm

u got a Turbo man...just smoke the cops...do some mods and it would be even easier...haha

It's because of guys with this sort of stupid attitude the cops give modified car owners a hard time. Why are you "not all about racing at a strip"? Are are afraid of racing in fair controlled conditions?
Here's a brainstorm: if you didn't pull this **** on the street (and in front of cops), you wouldn't get tickets!

Stepdaddy

NZConvertible im 18 and i have a stock car it would be useless to bring it to a strip and get beat by people who dump money in there cars for fun, i race people from my state for free many times, its fun, im ganna "pull this ****" all damn day i hope you come to town so i can give you a unsafe start to shut yer trap.i dont feel street racing is a stupid attitude as long as its done safe.

Running the engine to redline in first will have nothing to do with the gears grinding. That is caused by worn synchromesh. Shift a little slower.and the synchros aren't used as much. You don't need to pound it into second.
Worn synchros are caused by extremely quick changes in engine rpm via changing the tranny. But revving up redline in first alone does nothing to the tranny itself.

so your sayin just shift at about 6.5k in first let it drop to about 4-5 k second...and so on?

NZConvertible

What you call "safe" is probably quite different to what the general public, police and insurance industry think is safe, and they're the ones who come down hard on the rest of us because of guys like you. Why can't you understand that? It still sounds to me like you're too chicken to go race at a strip or track. So you cruise around looking for idiots in slower cars you can "beat". But you're 18 and still think you're invincible so there's no point arguing all this with you.

InfiniIIIREX

^^^ Very true man, my bro did this with his car, and he can no longer slam into second without grinding. He has to shift super slow from 1st to 2nd now, sucks for him.

CanadianRX7

NZConvertible shut up man ppl dont post threads so u can rag on them for street racing. Post your own thread about how much u hate street racing and stop posting this **** in every topic!!!!When ppl say street racing it usually means night time with no cars on the road.

How old r u neways?? 30 or so?? If u r trying to give advice it would be better to say keep it safe and only race when the roads are dead. You arent going to change anyones idea on street racing so why bother?

Its just like saying smoking is bad it can kill you. Look at how many ppl smoke knowing it will shorten their life.

Gefunk

You want to race on roads that no one uses? You come to Maine, we have some very nice drivers up here that are completely dedicated to drifting and we can show you a thing or two about how you are suppose to drive. These cars were made for drifting and for some reason someone put a SC in them and brought them to the track. No their 50/50 weight distrobutions make them emaculent drifting cars and even if you don't have LSD like I don't on my 89 GXL it still is work it to feel the car pull like a bitch comming out of a corner.

Street racing is pretty ******* stupid. I know someone that was killed racing someone. I also know that the same thing happens in every single town in America; some hotshot tries to impress someone with his fast car and due to factors in or out of his control, something happens and someone gets hurt or killed. I've been guilty of racing in my past, but I really try to avoid doing it now at the ripe old age of 21. A speeding or reckless driving ticket can sometimes be the least of your worries. I save any tendencies I have to drive fast to deserted back roads by myself or the auto-x course...

or maybe I'm just a *****.

Stepdaddy

damn,NZConvertible buddy i race whoever is next to me i dont give 3 *****, i dont bring it to the track b/c its not a track car its a stock rx buddy get a grip if you never raced someone on "public" roads you are a tool and should be locked up. i know im now invincibale but thanx for bringing it to my attention, you are possibly one of the smartest people i know, plz post another message so you make yourself look like a tool. so im the reason y your insurace rates are high..no its drunk drivers and bad drivers u need to slow down.

Stepdaddy

ZachSpazz who said you were a *****, i dont feel age has anything to do with driving maturity, were i reace ages range from 16-40+ when nationals come into town they poor bleech down for burnouts, its all done in a fashionable matter, its a 4 lane road one way in a huge oval its ganna be ok, dont worrie

CanadianRX7

i will stop racing on the streets when im 25 or so and im not invincible. Kids on die in car crashes its a myth.
My friend crashed his sister civic doing 180 km/h rolled it and didnt get injured. I have been in a accident doing 80 km/h and i didnt get hurt ( driver cut me off when turning).


Its not street racing if u do it in high traffic. Its weaving or playing cat and mouse which is retarded to do.

So please dont post about not street racing. I dont go posting in every topic that says beer, smoking, sex or nething saying how dangerous it can be and either does neone else. Its our life let us live it and u can live your own. Get kids if u wanna tell ppl what and what not to do.

Stepdaddy

CanadianRX7 if i wasnt so damn immature and young i would have said the same thing

Mazdarules

shift at 4-5rpms in first and higher in other gears (6500-7000) when you want to run it hard. For cruising I would shift at under 4 k to save gas.

I cant believe these guys getting on us for street racing. Have they gone to the killz section yet. WTF. Get with it people. First of all what the hell is going through your thick skull (no offense) when we say street racing??? Swerving through traffic doing 120 past stop lights and intersections. WRONNGGGGG... I guess that would be considered street racing but most people race on a deserted back road. I raced on this 5 lane road in some industrial erea with people down the end with radios to report anything. How much safer do U WANT... Its not 100 percent but what the **** is 100 percent safe. Nothing not even sex. So SHUT UP , get a life and go race someone for pinks yo. Its rude to ASSume that we werent being safe. Instead u should of just gave us some advice on being safe and not come off on being such a dick. And it takes more ballz to hit the illegals or a deserted strip with your friends than it is at race legals
If I was just so fast I would take it to the legals to show the 800hp monsters up but no thnx. Not for a wile.

Why they're not coming down on your for smoking/beer? Because it doesn't effect anyone but you. It's your freaking body, do whatever you want to it. But when you street race, you put people around you in danger. That is what makes some people so mad at street racers. Plus, I won't even go into the insurance issue (I'm paying for your stupidity).

Now, in all the people I've seen in my whole life saying that they exclusively street race, I found one thing in common...they're afraid of real track racing. Street racing gives them many extra excuses for loosing and it keeps them in a dream world where they're running low 12s. But once they show up for a real track event, they're kicked back to reality where there are dozens of cars much faster than theirs, there is no animals crossing the road/sand or dust ******* up their traction/cops coming from the other direction and suddenly, for some strange reason all they can manage are high 14s. Basically, they're retarded, self-absorbed, chickens.
