My lugnuts require more torque than your car has.

I thought you had to act furious to be fast?

You know those clear tail lights all them civics have? They actually help in turning since they weigh about 114 lbs less than the stock taillights. They weigh less because they are clear due to the transparent aluminum.

Anyways, once you change out the tail lights in an RX-7, they handle MUCH better

Maybe I can fix my bad "turning" by putting a bigger spoiler on my car, I heard vinyl graphics might help as well. Another good turning mod that I heard about was a big fart pipe that could definitely help me turn better in a pinch.

yes they handle horribly, didn't you read the september issue of HONDA TUNING! they proclaimed that the RX-7 is a poor excuse of a sports car because of the weak honda engines they have and the hi perfermance intake really isn't what it is hyped up to be. But if you got the neon windshield wiper and undercar package then it MAY retain value.

And I got bashed for picking on this dude in the other thread... Oh well.


I guess if this IS a serious thread, and you did hear that RX7's don't handle well... I can contribute some usefull information for you.

YOU HEARD WRONG. Though, many of todays cars are producing some impressive numbers on the skidpad... The RX7 is still ONE OF the best. Not to be confused by THE best, because it's not. But it does hold its own. Especially with all new factory bushings... not the 10 year old crap.
