Anyways after the meet we decide to do a couple runs on the freeway, we started at 60 mph, 1st race i pulled on him pretty good. 2nd race wit hthe same results, 3rd raced we started slower so i was in 2nd gear and he was keepin up for a little while, but once i hit 3rd i was gone.
So yea, anotehr FD down, 3rd FD i killed

I must disagree with Henessey about this guy and the disrespecting of fd's. He only posts when he beats an fd. He said the last one was the 3rd. Leading me to believe he does'nt like fd's and is hunting them down. Why will he not agree to an organized race? Is it because if he runs an fd and looses he would like to take his frustration out on some innocent motorist?

2. if you guys did your homework that turbo plus a good tune will easily put down over 320whp with alot more room to make power.
3. you guys are getting all butt hurt over an internet forum? what did he say that was so bad. he wasn't talking smack on the FD until some members on here wanted to get into an internet pissing contest. even then he never said anything bad about the FD. yeah it's an rx-7 forum but everybody is welcome here.
I use to have a fc untill it bit the big one and now i have an s13 with a redtop. you guys really need to chill out. you just instigate and then when he responds to your antics he's the bad person? grow-up.

There was a video a little while back with an FD racing a Supra. Supra pulled away, no fight there. It was the guy that owned the FD that posted the video. You got to be a damn fool to thing that the fd is unbeatable. I personally don't have a problem with this guy beating the 7. I just don't like the fact that with the fight he is picking, with his tuned and proper running car, he does'nt want to run an fd that is tuned and running well.

my friend just broke 1033 on his WW EVO 9 MR.... changed the oil (nightmare) as he didn't get the oil filter on right! Oil sprayed all over the drive way! He was so pissed haha. Anyway, went to a 24hr wallmart, turns out they had a 5 quart Mobil 1 advanced formula for $28 bucks. way cheaper than crapzone's $42 for 5 quarts. Changed his oil again, and everything smoothed out!!! Let me drove his car for a little bit (because he felt bad it was on MY driveway). anyway, long story short, his EVO MR was fun as heck. And amen to that 4g63's being god's gift to 4 bangers!

haha!!! i've seen this sr20 and must admit that it's a pretty fast car. faster than most would think. it's true that this forum has changed a bit and people are quick to call b.s. but i can't blame them because there is a saying on here...........
THE 7 CAN'T LOSE!!!!!!!!!
THE 7 CAN'T LOSE!!!!!!!!!

I think roll races are too. Useally its the guy who honks the horn pulls off first. I had a guy in a GT mustang try to race me on aroll and gunned it before I even knew we were racing, I caught up to him and honked 3 times ,let him accelerate first and killed him we came to a light and he chickened out.
Also FD's are known for all kinds of vaccum leaks. I remember before I had my hoses replaced I had about 8 hoses that were cracked or broken. At that time I lost to like an 89 corolla (it was an old lady at that), I just pretended like I wasn't racing. Yes that was a sad day for the 7's.
I'm gonna find that old lady and smoke the **** out of her.

Dude, don't start this **** again.
