Why did the T11 blow its motor??
 

It didnt have anti-detonation spark plugs of course.

Interesting...Someone should email him and ask to spread the word on those "Anti denotation" spark plugs...It sounds like he should be willing to warranty the engine against blowing up...

I already did that. Here is the response!!!!

All you kids are stupid. Adding fuel... spending money to control boost. ALL YOU NEED IS ANTI DETONATION SPARK PLUGS :D hahahah

Man thats some good garage engineering by Skip Gorman!

BAhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha


OMG


OK...ok...ok


Im guessing the spark plugs them self are anti-detonation. Spark plugs can get so hot that they can ignite the fuel before the controlled spark. that is what he means. In aviation as well as racing sparkplugs can be considered hot ot cold. Hot plugs are for high compression engines and cold plugs are for low compressin engines.

um they're made of wood, and the engine never starts, thus never allowing itself to destruct.

Don't know just my guess.

He's probably using ultra cold plugs, which absolutely suck for street driving. All the heat leaves the plugs and goes into the housings which causes crap to build up on the plugs.

Still won't stop detonation from overboost/lean mixture.. what a dolt.

I can't wait for Dad's answer

LMAO

Yeah, neither can I..

:bsflag: That is all I have to say about the plugs.

Forget the plugs!!!!!! It has no spoiler!!!!!! LOL :)

Anybody got Dad's answer yet????? I cannot stop laughing!!!!!!!!

:bsflag:

I don't think any of the 87's do

Oh I bet his answer will be a doosey. And after his response is posted someone HAS to email him back with the infamous words:
RX7 CLUB KNOWS ABOUT YOU

haha. I love that line... me and afk limitz got 2 of our coworkers into rx7s now and we use that line on them all the time

That saying needs to be put on the shirts. It would confuse them even more than explaining your car has a rotary engine.:p:

seriously a tshirt saying that would be great!

The RX-7 knows club about yo ass!

:bsmeter:

I saw that car on e-bay and thought the same thing. "What the _ _ _ _ are anti-detonation spark plugs. Dad quit lying about the spark plugs.

yeah, I have never heard of anything like those

and the anti-detonation plugs allow it to run on 87 ?

my TII runs on 87 on my regular old NGK non- anti-detonation spark plugs...lol....what a maroon:)

20+ years of experience and he can't get all of his rims on the right way...
