Yeah that water pump is spinning the wrong direction. It will just create bubbles.

I think he looks like a really bad Elvis Costello! I'll admit that I have that issue,I got a subscription because they get good access to amemiya-san but it seems that they are just getting worse and worse.Dyno figures?Hell, you're lucky if you get any stats!As far as the other mags go there's not much better out there 'most just give you a couple of shots of the car and a full page that looks like an abercrombie and fitch ad!The only two that I look forward to even slightly is SCC and Modified.Modified has great photography and isn't afraid to feature a car that's just black with no vinyl all over it.Scc has the tech side covered but they're so damn pretentious you just want to hit them with a brick!I also remember a quote from Dave Coleman saying that the rx7 will always be broke if you bought one.Back to this poor seven,I think that if I was pushing 800hp I would want something thicker than a fluidyne radiator.I have one myself but I would want something bigger for that amount of power,but since it's bs anyway I suppose it doesn't matter .It's just proof that not just anyone should be allowed to have one of these rare beautys.I only hope someone with a true love for rotaries rescues this abused child.I suggest a moment of silence for this once proud example of automotive purity.

I just can't imagine a rotary surviving a 300 shot of Nitrous. I love carbon fiber but he took it to the extreme.

He swapped out the T88 for a gt40 I believe. If you click on the link posted on this page for the for sale section it'll explain in more detail.

The FC water pumps spin that direction. They could have done that.
