Underpowered FD RX-7

Found this little pic of a seriously underpowered 92 Rx-7.

I'm guessing his 0-100km/h times are hopless compared to a standard version. Not sure on his 100km/h - 200km/h times though

Maybe his 200km/h - 300km'h times would be better still................

Excellent, some ignorants to play with.........

Pick the photoshop lines in these pics then..................





.

The jet powered 92-model RX-7 did a 7.80 pass & was all over the track as "Heathcote" raceway is a poor quality track by drag racing standards.

Tech piece said its a 92-model but after some viewing. It's a bit of everything. 96 rear spoiler, 99 nose on a 92 body......... ALL good

"the line" is the lower edge of the heat shield - look at the other pics and you'll see it.

Wow, how can he do something like this? WHERE ARE THE MODS!!! THIS NEEDS TO BE MOVED TO THE 'OTHER ENGINE CONVERSIONS' SECTION!!!

He ruined the 50/50 weight distribution... ripped the soul out... no it's not a rotary rocket as there's no rotary in it. If he wanted a turbine engine, he should buy a ****** 747. Damn, how long before the knuckle draggers in the states start putting those in RX7s here. Should've put in a 20b, FTMFW!!!

Of course, I'm kidding. I'll save that lingo for the 'other engine conversions' section.

I wonder if he could convince the authorities that it is street legal...

If he did he wouldn't have to be worried about being rear-ended, he would just barbeque anything that came close!
