But yes jimi, its the same principles that are keeping you balanced and handling. only differances are you have a powerplant that can make you pop wheelies, and fun manual shifting...

i think that they should just get rid of the 2nd gen section all it ever has is abunch of people asking how to do a t2 swap and people asking why they fucked up there motor.that section never contributes much of anything to the site noone ever does anything new or exciting to further the hobbie.

now take the 1st gen section theres all kinds of crazy crap that happens in there people building backwoods 4 rotors and all kinds of dohickies that help to further the knowledge of people and advance the hobbie

Well you have to dig deeper into the archives of the 2nd gen section...most ppl who buy a FC dont bother to read or search and want answers like it was yesterday, that and most ppl building 3rotors and crap tend to either put them into the FD for obvious handling reasons or the FB since they dont take much more modification to keep it a drag car.

Last time I tried knee-dragging on my mountain bike, I drifted it. I **** you not, the rear tire slid around the turn. I just thought you guys should know that.

There's a lot of good info on the 2nd gen section, but the problem is that it's really old. You're discouraged from asking any questions on there. If you do, someone will accuse you of not searching enough. And when you do search, you find a bunch of threads where people have asked the same question and were also told to search. So a lot of times your answers aren't really there, just a ton of threads telling you to keep searching, which ultimately leads you back to the first person who ever encountered the problem and never found a solution to it. Not always, but I've had it happen enough times to be annoying. I say, if you're not going to post anything useful, then don't bother posting. No more of this "I have 3k posts and every single one of them says 'Use the search button!'" garbage. All that does is fill up the forum with useless posts that get people nowhere. /rant

Your car already had lots of loud. Now it will have lots more loud. And nah, I don't think the new rotary forum is any better. Really, all internet forums are evil. The internet is evil. I am also evil, does that make me the internet?

I "enjoyed" when I had my exhaust off while working on my car. I had taken it off to replace the transmission. While off I did some under hood work which required starting the car. Since I was alone and it didn't idle, I had to start it and run out real quick and use the throttle manually. Let's just say I went 1/2 deaf having my head under the hood with absolutely no exhaust (no manifold...). Fun times though.

yeah im thinking that at most im looking at 300hp and very shity milage and very shity exhaust.

i can get a rew swap for the same price and actually improve lots of things if i sell my other parts i have like seals and rew housings. and then i have about 3oohp from the rew. decennt milage when talking about a rx7. and my exhaust wont be very loud.

and most enjoyable of all i wont have to build the dame thing i can drop it in and drive

From what I gather, the RE swap is a hell of a lot easier and makes near the power of a REW.
