Cool N/A motor on an FD~~~ Pretty cool...pics.

I found that some people actually make thier FD Natually Aspirated~~~ Cool!!~~
I wonder how reliable it can be.... with this set up... its looks very simple too.
Anyways... tell me what you guys think.
thanks.

why single turbo a 7?

Why put new rims on a 7?

Why paint a 7 a different color?

Why tint the windows on a 7?

Why mod a 7?

It's probably a PP using heaps of trick Japanese parts making over 300hp without NOS. It'd still hussle at 10000rpm, and would sound amazing at high revs and while brapping! Combined with the looks of the FD, what's not to like!

There's certainly not as much potential as a turbo motor, but it has it's charm none the less.

You mean there is an fd that you can actually see the engine in? That by itself is scarry.

Why have a N'A FD? Why have a FD sitting in the garage for the better part of a year because the engine is in little pieces.

You guys may consider it slow but it's still quicker and cooler than most DD's out there.

heh, whatever floats your boat right?

i would never do that, nor put a v8 into an fd... maybe if i was rich and wanted to experiment, ill prob do all of the above but still have a badass fd pushing like 700 with its 13b..

if any of you guys ever driven an n/a rx7, you'll know why all the in this thread..lol

might as well drive a civic with vtack, its somewhat quicker hahaha
