I wouldn't waste your breath, man . Can you say, "Polly want a cracker?" I knew you could

 

notice how everyone stopped debating the handling thing? LOL.

 

The ones with the highest outputs are hardly streetcars.

I love MR2s, they're great cars. If I wasn't all about FDs I'd be driving an MR2. I'm just saying, they're hardly on the same playing field and making 650whp isn't half as easy as you implied.

 

What are you making this prediction based off of? Your extensive research in suspension setups, or your years of road racing and autocrossing

 

I would've mentioned the same exact thing, but decided not to...

 

....playing Gran Turismo doesn't count......

 

So you've been road racing since you were 14

Given similar mods, an FD will destroy an MR2 on a road course.

 

These Mr-2 threads are even making me lose interest=yawn

 

Experience with road racer !=experienced with road racing!

Sorry man, but that **** don't fly. I'm not flamin (well, not intending to), but you cannot possibly begin to relate based on the experience with others. It's personal experience that holds up in this argument.

 

So, some how because you have road raced a MR2, you are some how able to tell twint78, the T66 will not spool that fast without nitrous, even though as you said, it is info from what you experienced?

I love your "years of experience around road racers". Should have rephrased it to say "years of experience BEING around road racers".

So let me see if I have my facts straight (correct me if I'm wrong).

You're 18 years old,

don't have your first car,

guessed the gearing from a FD vs. Viper race you saw,

While you can't give advice on a thread regarding a turbo timer, you saw fit to call someone an "*******".

Able to offer advice on gauges, by telling them to "go Apexi" w/ nothing to support your argument.

able to offer turbo advice on a T66, (w/ lord knows how much actual experience)

am pissed at your friend who got a MR2 for graduation "cause of the bitches he pulls but If I had a FD they would of flocked over my way.",

Ask questions such as how much rwhp to lift front end

What are the biggest sized twin turbos to stuff under the hood of an FD.

What is the most hp giving exhaust system for an FD?

and yet able to spought off "predictions" for a car you've never driven, but is based on a car that you were able to road race (again, lord knows how many times you have actually done this).

 

I love that trick w/ my firebird. I found that letting go of the wheel before a fish tail and avoiding the brake helps to straighten it out. The odd thing I noticed about heavy front end cars is that they require driver input BEFORE you start to feel it losing control.

Edit:
Oh yeah, I've never driven a rear-engine vehicle before, but I can imagine there's a big difference between that and FWD/AWD/RWD front-engine ones (all of these I've driven).

 

I see that you have taken up the torch, Dom. That reminds me, I have to go see how my poll is doing . He does appear to be on his best behavior, though.....

 

OUCH... Dom just crapped all over his credibility

 

I think we get a bit annoyed when someone can't express the difference between experiencing and spectating.

 

Where's that "owned" picture when you need it...

 

I just have a problem w/ the contradictory and false statements that you put out.

The T66 and the FD vs. Viper thread is a fine example of what I'm talking about. With the T66, I'm betting that you don't have any experience w/ the turbo whatsoever. The ONLY notion that you're going by, is the fact that it "sounds" like a Greddy T-78 or T-88, which from a point of view, would make it SEEM like the turbo is a big turbo. Thereby, you would assume that nitrous would be required to spool it. I will readily admit IF my assumption of you on this particular topic is wrong.

The FD vs. Viper was funny because other people called you on your seemingly impossible guesses involving shift points, etc.

Now, you have the years of road racing. Which you stated in a manner which says that you have years of road racing experience. Not, your friends who have years of road racing experience. Thereby, all information gathered from your friends and passed down to you would be HERESAY information. Can this information be true? Yes. But, YOU passed off the information as if YOU had experienced it.

You want to be respected on this/any forum? Be honest. Don't pretend. There is ZERO shame is saying that you are new to anything.

You want to know what weak points I have? Turbos and Suspension. That is why I will primarily just sit and listen. I don't recommend turbos. Sure, I occasionally will be able to help w/ suspension topics (albeit rare occassions), but I will not recommend or comment on a turbo that I have no idea about.

You're an 18 year old who has his eyes glazed over on a FD. A FD that you will be financing (yes, I saw that thread too). On top of that, you want horsepower out the wazoo to lift the front wheels, do long smokey burnouts, and impress both racers and the ladies. Am I right so far?

There isn't anything wrong w/ that.

At the same time, you come to this forum and pretend to be a bada$$ w/ your road racing "experience", thug life, etc. Why do you pretend? I don't know. I don't care.

You want the names of some people who know what they are talking about on this forum?

jimlab, maxcooper, ARD T2, GoodfellaFD3S, Icemark, and numerous others. These people hands down, know their $hit. And when they talk about something, I listen. Why do these guys know so much? Because they are honest about who they are and have some sort of credential to prove it.

Ultimately, you decide what you want to do.

 

double post

 

 

Yo, that is a phat ryde! Why in the hizzell would you want an FD when you're Rollin' DEEP in that piece of work ?

 

hahaha

 

People like this make me want to sell my car and completely disassociate myself from the RX-7.

 

I hear you man. Hell, last month I actually heard some guy in his 20s say to his little kid "Hey, it's the car from the Fast and the Furious".....it's moments like that when you think $130,000 for a Ferrari isn't such a bad deal....

3RotorRocket: Give us a break, man. Perhaps you'd gain a little credibility here if you stopped creating posts about how much hp to lift your front wheels off the ground and who has the "mostest" hp FD on the forum.....

 

As entertaining as Dom has made this thead, I think it's run it's course..
