I think crispeed is actually good friends with that guy and built the beast. Its a beautiful car (exactly like mine ) and very very fast. I think he makes 6XX rwhp. But dont quote me on anything, I just remember him talking about a car exactly like mine he built with 600+ hp so.. I am not definately sure its the same guy.

Joey and Roger are driver owner and builders of the Japtrix Turbo II. We are very good friends and help each other out most of the times. The RX-7 runs consistent 10.0's and they were on a possible 9 sec pass when the E-shaft broke at the rear at the top of 3rd gear and it still ran a 10.40. The car makes just over 610RWHP/500RWTQ. The motor is back together with a new combination that's going to make some serious horsepower and should give them that 9sec run with no problems!

Greg that's another guy. The one that we were speaking about was actually owned by BOOSTEDRX7 on the forum and now it's own by White88turboII!

Hey Chris,

Are both Turbos IIs you mentioned still running OEM drivetrain and 2nd gen engines ?

I always gave that Japtrix car mad credit.... simple and fast.
Yours too

Both are running stock drivetrains. One powered by 13B-REW and the other 13BT.
