Found this on the VW forum. Some guy spotted a FC at the drag strip and took pics.

whew!! for a minute there i thought this was going to be another thread about other forums bashig RX7s. thats one mean *** FC!! very trick car.

 

Torqueless wonder?

huh..what an idiot.

a TII stock runs 200hp and 198tq. or so. How is that 'torqueless'

that 'torqueless' car would take his money in a bet

 

HOLY ****!, that's a dam P-port LOL. I beat that thing would put out close to 1000hp.

no rad? LOL

that think would kick soul's ***


there camber plates are on the wrong way though LOL

 

...torqueless and ricey. must've been the LED tail lights.

 

I feel dumber for reading some of the rubbish within that post.

The question is... what were you doing on the VW forum in the first place? Hmmmm.... looks like a MUTANY!

 

was I missing something, or was there a radiator missing from the front of that car?

 

scott, how can u tell its a P-Port?

i wanna know how to tell

 

I only see 2 intake runners

 

hehe, can we get a group buy on some of thoes shirts lol

 

I was gonna ask the same thing

 

P-Port and a massive turbo. Now there's a mapping nightmare. They must have the idle set at 3000rpm! Those two tracts may split, you can't tell from the pic, it doesn't show enough, but indication would say it most likely is. The rad(s) looks as though there may be two, set laying down on each side of the lower grill inlets. Maybe I'm way off, but maybe they took a page out of the old Can Am books.

 

Throw some big oil-coolers on it, and fill the water passages with cement! It IS a drag-car after all.

 

damn.... sweet car

 

If that engine is a PP, then it IS torqueless, but it has horsepower out the yin-yang.

I wonder if those VW guys would be bashing the "small", "rice", "torqueless", rotary engine if they knew that it was a German design?

What do you mean?

 

While I personally don't recognize the car. The big decal on the hood says Shine Street, which is a shop in Carson, CA. www.shinestreet.com. They are US distributors for wheels made by Crimson Inc. (Racing Sparco wheels for example).

They frequently import parts from/to Japan. So I would expect them to be the ones who brought that car from Japan.

I could give them a call and ask about that car.

 

I thought the guy who said it was torqueless and slow was kidding...

 

They have talked about FC's before. Generally moronic statements though. *as a whole, they are pretty ignorant*

That car is pretty nice actually. Sure got some work done to it.

 

How about that monster tranny?
