Just got done with a Bonzi run not to long ago, went out with my 88 GXL and my Technician (rx7doctor , who was also driving) and he let it rip... the car topped at 140 mph. The mods are as follows: Custom fabricated cold air intake, 1st gen header/presilencer combo, racing beat mufflers; working off my original engine.

Also head lamps were up, and there were two people in the car, so who knows how much higher it would of been

 

good ****, i never went past 140 in my rex

 

custom fabed CAI? is it one of those deals that the filter is way down near the road?
btw nice run man

 

Thanks you, and no, the filter currently is sitting right beside the stock air intake scoop, were it would normally shoots it into the box with the stock filter, but the stock air intake box & filter is no longer there. Planning on relocating it though.

 

The fastest I've ever gone is like 125mph. But that's probably a good thing...

 

Lol up until earlier today, the fastest I have been in my FC, or ever in a car is 120, but yeah... lol I had to change my depends after that run.

 

i got 150 with 4 people in the car the eclipse i was racing was all done at 138 and i walked away from him

 

nice, what mods do you have ?

 

88 gtu MSD 6A,cone filter,header straight pipes and cherrybombs,electric fan,accel wires,TB mod,TII hood,removed air pump,wired open 6 ports,nakayama Zoro 10 17's,always MOBIL 1, that was all i had done at the time we'll see what happens this year with the new mods by the way i'm sure i'm forgeting something

 

Better get that speedo checked amigo, your tire size is the only thing going that fast. With those mods and 4 people in the car the only way you would go that fast is downhill with a huge tailwind,lol rx7doctor

 

And how the hell did you fit 4 people in an RX7 anyway?! And if you did...the 2 in the back HAD to have been kids, which didnt weigh a lot.

 

my car is a 2+2 it was me my g/f my friend thats about 210 lbs andthis girl he was going out with i was doing 100 when i saw this eclipse coming up on me so i dropped a gear and it was in the middle of the day so there was some traffic we started racing ant i had 3 cars in front of me we were on 495 north a 4 lane highway when we went to take off there was no place to go so he took the breakdown and i took the median 2 wheels in the grass and 2 wheels in the pavement until i passed the three cars then back up on the road my friend was in the back seat saying look a buck 40 and his girl was like i dont wanna look im gonna die today in this ****** car my g/f loves speed so she was leaning over the console counting 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 ya holy **** this is my first time doing 150 look 150 an the girl in the back was still screaming im gonna die today let me the **** out so it was a door to door race pretty much but i noticed around a buck 40 i started pulling him so we went to 150 that was about it for the car i dont think it had anymore than that so i slowed down and we got door to door again and he yelled out the window get off the next exit so we did and we both popped our hoods he thought mine was a turbo because of the hood you should have seen his face when i told him it wasn't then we popped his hood and he said it was all stock exept for the cold air intake i dont know who he was trying to fool but i couls see his brand new head gasket cam gears no cats aftermarket tb all that **** so anyways 150 mph

 

WOW, aren't you cool makes me wonder why police officers think teenagers are bad drivers.

 

you know it

 

Where's the bs meter when you need it?

 

LoL

 

Yep that's what i smell too,lol rx7doctor

 

shove the bs meter up ur *** 6 witnesses 4 in my car and 2 in the eclipse is good enough and you wern't there so how the **** do you know and also if it was bs i would have came up with something a little better than that .also i was on mazdamark.com and it says the top speed for an 88 gtu is about 135 mph now take less drag off the motor open the exhaust open the intake and do other little **** here and there and i sure hope the **** you'll get 15 more mph out of it it is an rx-7 not a civic if i wanted to talk **** id go buy a civic and come back to this forum and tell you i just did 150 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>lighten up>>>>>>>BRIAN

 

i agree that you should get your speedo checked. that would solve any confusion.

 

It's been proven over and over again that the FC speedo over 100mph grows increasingly off. Not that it matters, sucks the car didn't pop a tire at that moment though, would've done the world a favor.

 

I had a 90 GXL before i got my vert with a full racing beat exhaust, cold air intake, pulleys, light weight aluminum hood, and the light weight vert wheels. Even with all that, the fastest i could go was barely 140 and that was by myself.

 

were all on this site because we love rx-7's not to bullshit not to act like ****** morons to have fun but where ever you go what ever you do there's always someone there to **** it up for you and ruin the fun so **** it

 

There is a fine line between stupidity and fun, which you obviously never met. To begin with, hitting the shoulder gravel/grass at upwards of 100mph to pass cars is quite the 'opposite' of fun. Ruining fun.. It's funy you say that, considering hitting the grass at upwards of 100mph has about a 90% chance of either rolling and or spinning out, which would've either A) killed you and the passangers B) killed the people in the cars that you were passing or C) spun you out so you could act like the sadistic assfuck and be all 'did you see how cool that was!?'. Now, as for ruining fun, I'm sure it would've been just peachy and fun for the cars you passed to take an rx7 in the door at 100mph, I'm sure they wouldn't have minded. If you're looking for acceptance and for someone to think you're cool for posting a brag story for beating an eclipse you're definatly floating in the wrong area. To begin with, it's an eclipse... That's not something to brag about. Next, you quite blatantly described your ignorance for anyone around you and your passangers, which again, isn't going to impress anybody. So just what, might I ask, are you hoping to gain?

 

hahaha, 150 in an NA. My TII wouldn't even do that.

 

Good call^. If I could have hit 150 with an NA motor, it seems kinda supid to have spent the thousands I have on building a 400hp turbo one then huh.
