well i know i don;t need to, but for one it doesn;t have the growl a good v8 should have. so if for no other reason i am gonna get an exhaust. went and got it priced today while picking up the headers and exhaust for my parent's new mercury marauder (had it bout a month now i suppose).

and as for losing money i KNOW for a fact taht i went in the hole. but i made enough money with that truck in teh last 8 months to make up for any loss. i know for a fact that in races i made close to $20k with my truck over all. so i don;t think i came out too bad. and plus i could have never afforded to keep it.

 

Yalready have it

 

Wheels and Tires


the guy gave me the details on teh wheels and tires that are on the lightning....it is the package above. he got it about 2 mos. ago he said.


and everythign checks out. everything is the same

 

and on a last note, which avatar?

my old one with spongebob or the one i have now? and remember that i am still int eh process of getting all te white parts cleaned off of it.

 

SPONGEBOB

 

It just seems to be more you...

BTW, the link you gave us didn't work.

Ren

 

Yeah

 

ok fine. spoingebod it is then...but the rotor humper may still find its way into my sig some day. LOL if i can make room


and i realized the link didn;t work about 3 minutes after i couldn;t edit it. and iw as too lazy too post again. i will see if i can find it again.

 

damn, i am too lazy. the wheels are nitto RT6 and the tires are nitto.

look it up. LOL

 

o, and coem on guys, this thread used to be so much fun. but now dan is gone, tom is gone, tony is gone, dub caps is gone..........don;t let the spirit die

 

LOL, so am i

 

the wheels are ENKEI not nitto.

 

I was about to ask if they were becuz I found Enkei rt6, but the picture wouldnt come up.

 

Found em

 

It wont let put it on, every time I put it in, it deletes it!!! I tried adding on a file, and it put it and it doesnt work

 

Next weekend I take my rx7 up to Rotorsports for the fuel upgrades, then the following week is the dyno. Todd will be dynoing his car with my old turbo setup on it as well.

 

Chris isnt sellin his car, so if we put tha header on by then maybe we can come, but he still needs an engine and transmission. PM Chris and talk too him through that , he hasnt posted because everytime he goes to post, it comes up as the white screen and it says refresh, but it wont work. so maybe if ya PM him he cant type back.

 

whoops, he CAN type back, I dought we'll put the header on until he gets a rebuild or a new engine anyways.

 

Isn't he having Brian do the rebuild?

 

George I am not gone. I just troll around and see what you guys have been doing, I rarely have time to post anymore due to 2 jobs and being in paramedic class. I have no time for my RX-7 either so I am considering selling it.

 

Not sure, I'll ask him later and tell ya tomorrow. BTW, you guys know that Chris got his RB header right, well it's true dual and he needs the rest of the exhaust to be tru dual, do any of ya know of any site that has true dual for an NA FC?!?

 

oh yeah, does anyone know where the 6 port adapters hook up.

 

George, are yur rims on tha lightning 6 lug?

 

awesome. what kind of fuel upgrades exactly? and what kind of power are you expecting/hoping to make?

 

Bigger primary injectors and a fuel pressure gauge to see if I need a bigger fuel pump and FPR. I will now be running 850/1200cc's. I am guessing i'll be making around 425rwhp plus or minus, if i'm lucky 450rwhp. From a fuel chart showing horsepower vs fuel and duty cycle, it shows my previous dyno numbers right on the money. That being 85% duty cycle and making 380rwhp roughly. With the same injector sizes and the duty cycle at 100% it is suppose to put me around 450rwhp, which I am at 100% duty cycle now with my new turbo at lower boost. One thing is for sure, the car spins the wheels like crazy from 0-60mph or untill you let off in 2nd gear cause you start to slide off the road. I'm sure it would keep on spinning if i shifted hard into 3rd, but I haven't got the ***** to try it yet, at least without the peace of mind my fuel system is 100% good. Then I get to turn the boost back up to 18psi and really have some fun!!
