below is my new BABY....Cant go wrong with PORSCHE....

 

hope u enjoy ...some more pic

 

but telling u the thruth...u cant go wrong owning this piece......to be honest quit a bad exprience onwing the fd where there is not much local rotary tuner in my country....

 

boo whooo...what's with all the threads lately?!?! "I can't figure this car out, I QUIT"

okay

 

Thats a shame, looks a fantastic car. What chin spoiler is that? Looks abit like a 99-spec but in carbon fibre??

 

Well, at least you got something nice to replace it.

 

Man that sucks. Anyways goodluck with the new car. I love your parking space though, it looks quite unique.

 

rx7 still looks better

 

Very sharp looking FD.....maybe you jinxed your engine with your screenname

 

Love that Mazdaspeed CF front lip.

 

+1

Everytime i said the "b" word because i thought the motor was, it keeled over the next day. I'm never saying that word again

Ur FD looks insanely awesome though, why get rid of it for a lesser car? [/arrogant FD owner]

 

Your Fd looks great. I guess if I blew 2 engines in that amount of time I'd probably switch too. Good luck with the porsche. It's a sweet ride too!

 

What wheels, side skirts, and rear diffuser are those. Car looks great by the way. To bad for your missfortune.

 

I really like the porche,but do youreally need to keep it inside the house!!!!

 

Very nice car, but dont be so sure, I have a friend with a 911 turbo that blew the motor in it. Cars are cars and anything can happen......

 

That is the most ridiculously massive SMIC I have ever seen.

 

It's actually a V mount.

 

Does ANYONE know what kind of side skirts are on that car, and where to get them?? They're clearly not FEED, similar, but thicker...

 

Hi Ari,

So you actually went ahead and bought the porsche. Good on ya my friend. This dude has put his heart and soul into the Fd. Going as far as paying tuners from overseas Australia,japan and even Malaysia to sort out his car. But like he said, the support for rotary is really non-existant in Indonesia. Ari, i hope you enjoy the new car and keep me updated on the stuff i'm picking up end of the month

 

That has to be one of the nicest FDs I´ve ever seen

 

That must be an awful weird V-mount with the battery and ast mounted behind the IC.

 

In my opinion these highly modified cars are exceeding the design limits of the engine. There is this thinking that if you add just the right amount of aftermarket parts and get someone to tune it correctly you're going to get both high horsepower and engine reliability / longevity. What you wind up with is a crapshoot.

I'll take just one thing. Looks at the little coolant passages in the FD engine block.
So you hang a big radiator out front and you increase the horsepower by 40%. Have you increased the size of those coolant passages any? What's the localized heating like in an engine designed to handle 255 - maybe 300 hp at the outer edge of the design envelope now putting out 350 or more?

Racing engines can put out high horsepower, but they don't last long either and are subject to frequent rebuilds. Owners should have reasonable expectations when it comes to the 3rd Generation RX-7. It's a great car for what it is, but you can stretch the performance envelope only so far if engine longevity and reliability is one of your goals.

 

what rear diffuser is that? Never seen that one before.

 

I'll meet you at the end of the block so that porsche can get its 1st death! AHAHa!! Seriously rotaries need to be tuned right and monitored constantly so they dont kaboom. A pain but worth the effort. Sorry for the bad experience. Real nice looking one you got there. Good luck w/ the 4s.. They are sweet.G
