8 sec street car?
 

Has anyone done an 8 sec pass with a rotary powered rx7 on a streetable trans with irs no tubs and no wheelie bars no lexan without a gutted interior?

Roan's 9.50 Fd is the fastest true street Rotary I know

Boom

I'm saying you can use any streetable trans and any irs it doesn't have to be the stock trans and it doesn't have to be a 13b

roans is the true street car, there are 2 street legal mazda irs cars with stock glass (no lexan) here in the uk both running 8.8's interiors are stripped and caged though

You gotta understand to get an 8 second car is not an easy thing. and most people that shoot for said goal , are not worried about how comfy the car is to drive around in .

I completely understand I just wondered if it had been done

Hats off to Roan on his accomplishment

I have interior in my fb and full exhaust and it went 9.50s

mine might be an 8's street fd once I'm done with it. Full interior, no cage,20b,80mm turbo,8.8 ladderbar,stock tranny. Looking to sell it once I have my fun with it though

Pics???

Still in the making

Stock tranny gonna hold together with 8 sec passes?

one way to find out... If your dead set on it then you may be able to pull it off with the liberty shaft upgrade. It seems to me that this is entirely possible. Ari went low 9's over a decade ago and even admitted he could have gone 8's had the trans held up. But back in those days though there wasn't much you could do to the stock trans.
when we can get better tires and newer suspension technology. with the ability to pull weight with dry carbon body panels available no class restrictions to engine size or which trans and diffs we can use. with the power we can produce now and turbo technology screaming forward. I think 8's are completely possible. If we ever get a twin clutch trans like what is in the gtr we will easily shave off the extra tenths of a second. The questions is who is going to start the new records.

I know for sure 8's is possible with stock tranny. I seen my old fb went 9.12 and they were not trying.

with the liberty upgraded output shaft I think you can. but completely stock I doubt it. The FB weighs a lot less which isn't just going to help with acceleration it will also put less stress on the trans by launching a lighter car.

A stock TII tranny can go 8's for sure with a light body.... El pa ran 7.9 with one, rooster datsun ran 8.6 and mistica starlet ran 8.50s with a TII..

the stock FB or FD rear will have a hard time getting into the 8s with the available gear ratios.


el maniatico rx7 ran 8.30 with a heavy FB unibody with no tubs..

El fabian rx7 TII ran low 9s with a fully body car at least 10 years ago..

another one almost in the 8s... TII tranny, no tubs, 26x8.5
