Here we go again.....

 

I bet you'd get a definate answer if you go back to the Honda forum.

 

what does that suppose to mean??
arent those some REASONABLE questions????
i just bought a 93 rx7...just wanna know a lil more about it..thats all....i know it feels ALOT quicker than the ITR.....but other than that...im LOST...
any advice would help!

 

 

Ill answer that...

I ate a 93 supra the other day for dinner....hahhah

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 *** 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.....

Lesse.. since we are an RX7 board... RX7 rules. Ok? No more discussion on this necessary.. blah...

 

I'm selling my 94 R2 and this guy who had a auto TT supra drove it and said it was much faster than his car.

 

my fault...i get it NOW...=)
but yeah...yah sure do got LOTs of MODs though....whats a BASIC MOD to start out with????
you guys KNOW any SHOPs in CA??? near SACRAMENTO???

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

This was done in a bone stock car in Colorado.
5800 feet above Sea-Level.

 

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?

 

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

 

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

 

and thats all with DAILY DRIVEN rite?? no SLICKS.......

 

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

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

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,

 

LOL!!!
thanks NEO.....i THINK that WOULDVE helped about the HONDA part...LOL!!! its coo though.....
