The guy you're trying to defend got butthurt when his car got called slow and posted some shit about disrespecting the rx7. A N/a rx7 is slow but it'll last forever pending you don't wreck it while doing something stupid.

Dude, A stock N/a FC will run 16's in the quarter mile
A stock GSL SE is faster and that car wasn't all that fast. here.

You might be right but hell i didnt know the GSL-SE was faster than a n/a Fc. Learn something new everyday, love this forum. - Nick

The N/a FC only got 10 more hp than the GSL SE but got an added 300 lbs. The only thing the base FC has on a GSL SE is a better suspension.

pls91fc 05-09-09 05:59 AM

jshiz, first of all that time sheet you posted is not very accurate due to the fact that it says the s4 and s5 run the same times and theres no way that's possible. and also there are only like 5 cars on the second list that are comparable to the 7 and they all have very similar times. its rediculous to compare a 1.3l to a 5.0 and even still it wasn't much slower!

jshiz 05-09-09 10:45 AM

Click the link you dolt. If you are too lazy, just admit i'm right

Thanks you.

It would have been a better race on my part if my aux ports were working and i had the cat removed. I also had a very slight hesitation around 4k but after cleaning some grounds today it went away.

i have a N/A fc s4 with a K&N intake and apexi duals. raced a '08 civic Si. i lost but i wasnt smoked. i have hopes for my 7 :)

felix what grounds did u clean exactly cause im experiencing the hesitation also

jshiz 05-09-09 11:17 PM

Civics Si's run low 15's IIRC. You did pretty decent to keep up.

Have you raced a NA FC?

My S5 NA used to be considerably faster than any first gen, including the GSL-SE (all of them on stock intake manifold\carbs and stock efi on teh GSL-SE). A popular mod to the 1st gen (back home) was a RB intake manifold, and carb.

There was no contest when racing a properly modified 1st gen on my S5 NA, they would put the hurting on me, and it wasn't even funny :dunno:

I am sure he is right...

Removing the 5&6th port sleeves, and BLOCKING the ports with JB weld would take tons and tons of that crap; besides, if the ports were in fact blocked, your engine would have a hard time reaching anything above 7K rpms (or so)

S4's are slow. S5's are a bit better.

One tube would work and removing the aux ports,sleeves and actuators are not hard and actually did a great job for a race engine i built a long time ago...Car made great power above 4k rpm's but had little low end power.
