Very Nice. I'd like to see it compete in D1.

 

It should be in Formula D next season.

 

i lkke how that passenger HAS to stick his arm out.

ha.a

 

Hes throwing up the shocker (Luke is part of shock drifting)

 

luke said/claimed or whatever you want to call it that a particular safety/flag guy said that the driver was to keep all hands inside the vehicle.

 

Cool car, but drifting, it is not.

 

I agree drifting that is not

 

IDK just doesn't sound right to me. Cool car but v-8 noise in a FD is weird to hear.

 

i would rather hear a zoooom zooooom sound

 

So its a mongi, same difference lol

 

V8 in an RX7 is the best thing you can do

 

then why the hell are you asking if anyone uses a T04S on the single turbo forum.

 

rofl why just dont buy a corvette or something.....
That clip made me sick. Makes me ashamed over rx7/club/ppl

 

Tight vid, is itblown? speakers suck.

 

Yeah, ashamed of more power without a pound of boost, much more torque, more reliability, and better fuel mileage. And it can knock without blowing up.

The reason we're not buying vettes is 1. they cost more 2. many of them arent as good as a RX-7 chassis in terms of handling 3. they weigh more.

If anyone should be ashamed its you for being so closedminded.

 

I personally liked the FD at the start of the Vid more (in front of the pack) and the sound of it at the end when the driver was getting out, personally not my cup of tee, theres a reason RX 7's have a Rotary and i when i get mine i'm keeping it that way, that sound is nice but not on a 7, it belongs with the huge weight, and torque of American Muscle not Japanese Technology. I hope the 1965 Barracuda i'm helping restores sounds like that, but not a 7 imagine a 1st gen sounding like that, everyone would hate on it, cause it just does not fit, same thing here, in my opinion, bu they can do whatever they want to their car. thats not drifting, that is making noise and wasting good tires, thats it.


Prôdigy

 

So, because it doesnt sound like a rotary, and has torque, its bad? And since when was every american car a "muscle car" or posessive of "Extreme weight"? Do you really think that torque is a BAD thing to have?

If someone hated on a FB with a v8 in it for not sounding like a rotary then Id have just one thing to say to them if I was the driver that FB with a v8.. "Wanna race?".

Also, P.S., its "Genius", and Felix Wankel made the rotary engine, not the japanese.

 

man i wish i could do that with my fd.. but real drifting not like what they were doing.. that was junk

 

The tape with video from the corners wasn't digitized yet... unfortunately

 

you type of owners never get the point, your so focused on the gains that your completely blinded by the fact that its a rare car with a rare engine. imo i would never put a v8 into a rx7 just like i would never put a 1.3L into a 69 nova. the way i see it a v8 in a rx7 is kinda like putting a bright yellow interior in a red car... its just weird

 

Wow another Canadian that understands, no i'm not saying tourque is bad but let the V8 boys keep it in their american muscle cars, don't cross breed or else you end up with the honda ridgeline and chevy avavlanche, now tell me cross bredding is fine with you.


Prôdigy

 

I dont' know. Cause I want to abort the V8 project and get a TO4S. What do you think?

 

Is this kind of like saying black people and white people shouldn't get together?

 

I started laughing out loud when nihilanthic mention us being ashamed of the v8's reliablity.

YOU sir should be ashamed that half the vids of that hinsen car consist of it stalling out while prepping and being unable to start again or it simply blowing up while running and blasting into a wall.

RELIABLE MY LEFT NUT!!!!
