Here is the low down. The car ran 10psi or so the frst 3 races, and we turned it up to 12.7 the last one. They didn't believe us so after the race ended and were in our pit, they came over and asked to see the peak hold. I let them see, and their comment was something like...damn that **** is fast for 12lbs.

The hp numbers were made up, because I never gave them that stat for the show. I know at 14lbs it makes 426rwhp on a mustang dyno. We did a pull to 26psi, but the motor chipped a seal, and the computer didn't log the run so I don't know what it makes at 26psi. I rebuilt half the motor (yeah it's ghetto, but with like 5 days before the race, I didn't want to use new stuff and re-break in the motor so I used old parts. plus it was cheap) and we just ran it lower to see what it would do. Matt had never driven the car down the 1/4 so his first run showed that. By the 4th race, I would say he was getting it down pretty good.

So in reality, yeah we were sandbagging...we had alot more in the car. We just didn't need it

The motor has my race port in it. Internals are stock, and all cryo treated. After the last run, the coolant temp was 295F, and the car wouldn't start because the fuel was so thin. After it cooled down, she fired right up and still starts just fine

The full race guys said during the show that if they won, they would drift it until it blew up, then shove an LS1 into her...she didn't like that. They lost before we begun...

 

BTW, I am going to sell the car, probably on ebay...look for it if you are interested

 

I love it when he goes" I don't care if we blow the engine, we just made it out of spare parts" haha...

Yeeeaaaaa Rotary... zoomm zooooom

 

Ahhhh i see what you mean now by your spare parts comment haha.. You posted just before me. Well thanks for not letting us rotor heads down dude...

Do you remeber the time slip on that 4th run? We are all very curious..

 

They don't give times, but we timed it during the unedited dvd that we have, and it looks like it is a low 12 second pass...about 12.2-12.4 is what we all kinda agree to. that's at 12.7lbs too

 

i love reading the replies on honda-tech lol its mildly amusing. good job representing the rotary guys :tup:

 

good job dave.

 

so dave whats with yall sellin all your rx7's? you gettin out the game?
makin somthing new?

 

The Rx-7 or that POS Honduh?

 

good race, funny how he asked for cars in the beginning..

 

I am going to sell my drag car. Matt is selling his FC on ebay because he is going to build his FD. I plan to get an old school rotary, deuce or r100 and get crazy with it. Matts FD is going to be retardly fast

Funnt thing is that if they didn't fake the NOS, then I wouldn't have required so many lengths...they kinda screwed themselves. They could have gotten more room without the bottle, but then I would have just run more boost

 

Great Show. Great race. Excellent job representing the rotary community Dave.

 

didnt they say one of there lines were cut for boost thats y they werent getting there full boost, if im wrong please correct me, and may i say that fc is tight, i have all motor 90 gtu full drag and i couldnt wait to get home from work and wait till 630 am that morning to watch the rerun of the kick *** performance. and ould u havea 3rd gen manifold for sale by chance im in Canyon lake over by lake elsinore keep up the great work

 

I finally got to see it and you guys did a great job.

It looks like you really nailed that last launch and it was the perfect finishing blow.

 

Yeah, I agree, the last launch was crazy. The civic had four cars on him, and that was made up before he got out of first.

 

Honduh!

 

The 7 can't lose!

 

man i only seen the last race where u kick his *** bad..when is the next rerun? nice white fc..wish my white fc was that nice lookin haha.

 

wow awesome runs guys good luck with the new projects

 

its all bout the end when the rx7 stalls

 

Yeah the Honda-Tech guys are amazing. They think the FC is a 14 second car. They had an actual drag car driver. Matt is no such thing, and neither am I. He had practice in his car, we didn't. I think Matt did pretty good getting used to the car and track in 4 passes haha. The **** they say is amazing. The reruns start Tuesday, and will replay alot over the next few months.

After the 2nd race, and we saw them run supposedly with and without nitrous, the car did the same thing. Whatever...the end result still remains...we won and they didn't... We are getting a new bender and notcher for the shop with some of the cash off their car to replace our old stuff
