800hp 2JZ FD review

Heresy, yes, but still fun (might be a repost):


More details here: 800hp 1993 Mazda RX-7 w/ 2JZ-GTE Engine Swap

I guess it's ok cause it was a roller, apparently?
But, so much no here. No to the bump steer issues, no to the lag monster 2j setup, no to the molded body kit, no to the poorly fitting sleek lights, no to the bumper choice. No the high offset front and low offset rears. No to the understeer. No no no.

I dare you to drive it and maintain that same position. I bet it's everything you've ever dreamed of.

Yeah....bump steer and a race clutch on a spools-tomorrow 2jz. Just what I always wanted
At least you can't see the outside from the inside.

Love those chrome knockoff 99 turn signals too, vom.

Dear God are you guys serious? I'm talking strictly about the performance of that car, yes it's not the prettiest or true to stock form, he wanted to make a magazine which 99 front ends don't do. Ok switch the clutch and the turbo.
I bet thats the most exhilarating thing on the planet close to a Buggati

I hate on supras too but maybe I'm just jealous? If you complain about that engine what can you say for yourself with the 13b rew?
Sometimes you have to get real and get to the root behind your thoughts.

I actually enjoy engine swaps in these cars, I like the rotary too.

Yeah I don't like the LS swap haha. But a 2jz is much more fitting in my opinion being Japanese and turbo.
Any how I just don't see how you can hate on this car. The people that are haven't imagined driving it. Literally would be the best day of your life.

LS is smaller and sits lower, lol. Yes, I am sure this car would be fun as hell.
