LOL

you can't just start pulling parts off the car. there are a lot of factors that come into play: is this a street car? do you need to pass emissions? do you want the car to be reliable? are you going non-seq or single turbo? etc.

 

When will this stupidity of randomly removing stuff from the engine bay stop?

All it does is decrease the resale value of the car.

 

wow. beer?

 

It's his car. What's the problem with doing what you want to your own things. Instead of writing a stupid opinion why not give the guy some advice/help.
Any way. You can buy the block of plates from banzai... But I would first find out the emessions for your state first. What's the purpose of you removing these things? Cleaner engine bay, less weight???

 

^^^ that's what im saying.

you shouldn't just start ripping parts off a car WITHOUT PURPOSE AND INTENT.

 

You can remove the whole thing and replace with V8.

OR

See archive link thread on mods

 

banzai racing. Go to their website, get their block off plate kit and take all that off. Unless you need to pass emmisions. Then pick and choose.

 

Your right of course. But if he wants to come to a forum and post this type of question... without making the effort to search and educate himself, then he assumes some risk.
Actually the block-off plates would only come AFTER he spends $800 or more for a standalone.

 

Let's just say there is ALOT if stock parts that can be removed from the engine bay (or upgraded) and your engine will thank you later. I'm not getting paid for this or I would type out a long list of everything I've deleted.

 

If you're serious, have a look at the list of solenoids in the engine bay. Then read up on what each one does, and search for answers on what you can delete.

You can delete a lot of stuff if you know what you're doing. A lot of morons have ruined the driveability of their car by removing something without understanding what's involved. It's possibly a bit too involved to just try and list it all in one shot.

 

What if you dont plan to sell your car? or your state has no emissions.... My car was already hacked all up when i got it is my reasoning...

 

Seems like thats whats wrong with forums these days are mentality of nobody is paying me so its not worth me contributing to the community.

 

^ I disagree. I've found nothing but answers on this forum and have found members more than helpful in helping others with their problems. The knowledge of the RX7club forum is seriously deep.

When someone gets flamed for a question, there is usually a good reason. In this case, it is apparent that the op has done nothing to research his question as these sorts of things have been discussed to death.


I mean what kind of question is that? "What can I remove?" I suggest the op should remove the entire car by selling it now before s/he f*cks it up. GL!

 

Most folks who "know" an answer have already typed it out a few times. It gets old. If you learn to search for answers or at least start by following the breadcrumbs in the FAQ, archive, etc you will get much further and faster.

Not to mention you'll get much better information. There is no one right answer to any question. Each person's experience adds up some to the best info. If you rely on posting a thread you risk getting an answer that isn't right for you.

you have 30 posts. clearly you know nothing about this community.

there is a vast amount of information on this forum if you take the time to SEARCH. these cars have been around for nearly 20 years - do you really think there are many subjects that have not yet been discussed?

don't be a whiny noob and utilize the search button. and don't just do a search, look at 2 posts and give up - spend a good deal of time researching, then research some more.

 

LOL. Well at least you know how to **** the community off. Its a long list to put out and there are differing opinions on all of it. You have to take the time to read the archives and search and read the archives again and search.

Your question is basic and has been covered numerous times in various incarnations. You'll find all the answers.

Seems to me what's wrong with forums these days is the mentality that you should have every post answered fully just 'cause you posted it.

 

I have been a member of forums for years and Im not saying specifically this forum. Infact I have already been helped by quite a few people. I just greatly dislike the attitude of someone that says if someone was paying me then I would help out.

So do me a favor and save the noob slander for someone else...

The fact that I don't yet understand a rotary does not mean I have zero skill. I have done more work to many cars than the vast majority of people on any forum could even dream of accomplishing on jack stands. I have done numerous builds on cars that managed well over 500whp.

If your actually defending someone that is basically saying he will actively participate in a forum but it isnt worth his time to explain then your as much of an *** as the person that said it.

 

I agree too. I probably spent a good two years here before I made a single post because I was too busy trying to LEARN. There are a lot of folks here that will help you if the person asking the question does a little research on their own problems.

Most people just want immediate gratification with everything, and this car isn't one thats real conducive to that personality trait.

It's not hard to look up "air pump removal" and "vac hose simplification", theres a bajillion posts on both topics and neither are very difficult.

There is also a disturbing trend to use component removal as a troubleshooting step, which isn't a good idea when you don't understand the impact of removing items.

 

I agree with that but the perception everything must be search seems overkill also. I also think that forums are a place to come for help and a place for discussion. If you need help I have never seen the harm in just asking. Usually if someone is asking for help they tend to need it quickly.

If we weren't here for discussions then whats the point? As far as that goes everything can be searched correct?

Anyway I will quit now I definitely went randomly off topic.

 

Well then ****...don't ask such a damn easy question and get to doing more work. Rotary is more simple to understand than piston.



You calling me an *** now...? Glad we could help you...welcome to the forum

 

I understand a rotary its self just fine its all the random sub systems that are installed on the car for god knows what reason. I have a pretty good grasp on most of it at this point but its not 100% there yet. besides sorry for the offense just forget my comments and move forward.

 

No worries, aleady forgotten...I forget I was where you were 9 years ago.

 

Yeah except I dont even have the luxury of seeing a car in a decent stock condition lol.. Im trying to rebuild something I have never seen before that is all wrong to start with....

 

LOL...ok you win you are in a worse place than I was...
