Just spent 15 minutes combing through the thread to delete 26 posts and edit a few more..... including a few of my own

So the thread is on track as per the OP's request, then Davin steps in and, um, expresses his satisfaction?

Looking at the SEMA thread you linked to-
I don't understand why Underground Racing would run the charge pipe from the turbo compressors parallel to the exhaust for so long when they could simply rotate the compressor housings and change the shape of the intercooler end tank.



On that note, it seems to me also that you could eliminate the nasty 90deg silicone coupler if you redesigned your intercooler end tank and reclocked your compressor housing. Those 90deg couplers are unreliable and flow poorly.

And by the way your car is bad *** and well executed.

LOL! Not as easy as you think and will make sense when you see it in person.

Taking a quick scroll through this tread I have come to the following conclusions:
1. You Love your RX7s
2. Your Rx7s reproduce
3. You must have damn good source of income to own, let alone, build up these cars
4. Your cars look awesome
well done good sir
