mazda rx7


this has got to be fucking fake right?

FelixIsGod29X 03-13-13 05:53 PM

Seems legit hahahahah

RCCAZ 1 03-13-13 05:56 PM

Legit. Saw it on LA Craigslist and thought... WHY?

turbo_dave 03-13-13 06:24 PM

What's wrong with a 12a?they can be made fast with turbo not so much n/a though.

TheAnalogKiddd 03-13-13 06:29 PM

Reliability? Lol

Bryan Jacobs 03-13-13 06:33 PM

wow, just wow, that is crazy but in a bad way

Saela 03-13-13 06:33 PM

Laugh all you want, but the fb in the first pic is probably an absolute monster now.

RotaryEvolution 03-13-13 06:33 PM

better than a V8 swap and less chance of popping motors due to ignorance.

coxxoc 03-13-13 06:35 PM

He sure did a clean wire tuck. :) I'm hoping this was a roller and he just so happened to have a 12a setup sitting around.

Probably.. But idk if the level of FB monster outweighs the absolutely retarded swap level of the FD

Less chance of popping motors, Greater chance of getting straight smoked by stock Geo Metros

That was the funniest part to me! hahaha :scratch::scratch::scratch:

beachFC 03-13-13 07:23 PM

The power to weight ratio of that FD is shockingly close to that of a 70's VW Bug. SICK!

RotaryEvolution 03-13-13 07:27 PM

never know, it may have a J port and keep up with a stock FD.

highly doubtful though, if he couldn't be bothered to remove an engine harness that he could have a motor built correctly to make max power potential.

Groshuk 03-13-13 07:30 PM

Well if he stuck the REW in the FB and it had a running 12A I guess it kind of makes sense to throw it in the FD and ask a few more bucks for it instead of just selling a roller.

RotaryEvolution 03-13-13 07:31 PM

but that begs the question, why destroy the value of the FD in favor of the FB, which still will be a hard sell if it ever came to that? but i doubt even that scenario, since the wiring harness is still sitting in the FD.

AGreen 03-13-13 07:35 PM

Because there are plenty of idiots that will buy it because it's an FD, not even looking under the hood.

RotaryEvolution 03-13-13 07:37 PM

at least when some unwitting person asks if it is turbo or not he won't have to reply: "they were all turbo"

instead he can throw a gangster pose and scream "12A fool!"

LIMON 03-13-13 07:48 PM

I went to this dude's house to check out a gt35 turbo he had for sale a couple of months ago, he blow his motor in the fd and had a spare 12a from his fb, I laugh so hard when he pop the hood. Then he was telling me stories of people revving him at red lights and he wouldnt even bother lmao.

All that did was make more work for the new owner. At least with a rolling shell you can drop a new motor right in. Now they'd need to do all kinds of shit before this car can run right.

^^^ this! ^^^

misterstyx69 03-14-13 09:18 AM

Ah Ha!
it is True!
Being an FD owner will Break you!..
This is like a poor man's way of keeping it Rotary!.

RotaryEvolution 03-14-13 11:55 AM

want more power? do it yourself!

then learn how to be an expert at replacing engines.

at least he had the sense to admit enough is enough and step down to a setup that is damn near impossible to blow up, or just didn't have the choice. a GT35 will get any amateur in over their head before they can even lift off the throttle.

P_Lav 03-14-13 02:41 PM

Up to no good, down in Inglewood

not only he had a GT35 turbo on his FD but never upgraded his fuel system and never even got it tuned lol

I have a Metro for my dd. Trust me, a 12a with only 1 good rotor would still beat it. I've had bicyclists beat me from a light up to about 20 mph.
