I pulled up next to him at a red light...you know what he did?? he looked over at me and laughed.....then I showed him my ass end all the way up through third gear...honk honk...I waited for him to catch up...he wasnt laughing then..

I tried to talk to him when we first pulled up at the light....but no luck...had to humble him first.....

downpipe, catback, intake......stop there till you get an upgraded ECU

Dragueur 08-30-01 02:27 PM

ive been to HELLA sites...and everyone RECOMMENDs the ECU upgrade BEFORE the intake/downpipe/exhaust upgrade...is that true?? like MAGNUSMOTORSPORTS

I'd hold off on the dp till you got an upgraded ECU w/boost controller, some people get boost spikes from the dp

swarol 08-30-01 02:29 PM

You can get intake and exhaust before the ECU but any more than that and you should get the ECU.

any BRAND NAME preferred...or they ALL work the SAME? like on HONDAs.....
whats a preferred ECU upgrade??? the NEW POWER FC or like a HALTEC and whats this M2 thingy i see peeps write about?

adamlewis 08-30-01 02:37 PM

I think stock for stock, the Supra is a hair faster. And for how much they weigh, they handle amazingly well. It may not "feel" like the RX-7 but it does corner.

Its kinda werid...stock/stock the Supras faster
slightmods/slightmods the RX-7 is faster
moderatemods/moderatemods the Supra gets fast again
heavymods/heavymods RX-7 gets ahead again...Supras get to the point where all they can do is spin their tires

Dragueur 08-30-01 02:38 PM

LOL!!! did the WORKER write that NEED HELMET statement on ur timeslip?? LOL!!!!

Dragueur 08-30-01 02:41 PM

ECU is the 3rd or 4th mod you should do
I have a DP and Catback and stock everything else no probs at all

SirRX7 08-30-01 02:52 PM

Great response adamlewis, too many people think that just because this is an RX-7 forum everyone here will agree that the RX-7 cannot be touched. IMO the RX-7 and the Supra are so close in performance, etc that the driver is the main factor in a race between the 2 cars with like mods. Thats the main reason why RX-7 and Supra owners have that I hate your car but sure as hell respect it attitude against each other.

Mr. Belvi 08-30-01 02:54 PM

Supra TT's run mid 13's in the 1/4, FD's run high 13's, low 14's.

As far as handling goes, ask RX-7 guys and they will tell you the FD handles better, ask the Supra guys and they will say the Supra handles better. Ask me and I'll tell you the truth, and the truth is, the FD handles better. :)

Although, the Supra does respond to mod's a tad better than the FD does.

Dragueur 08-30-01 03:08 PM

NONE of YOU guyS are in CALI........do you guyS know any shops in CALI that works on rx7s????

Neo 08-30-01 03:08 PM

Drageur,

Welcome aboard.

I forgot to mention to you that this board really hates Honda. So please try to keep the "dumb" questions to a minume.

And if you do a "search" you'll find a lot of topics regarding this type of comparison.

Later,

Dragueur 08-30-01 03:13 PM

LOL!!!
