I say drag race! How much road is there exactly on the 1/8th mile strip in miami after the 1/8th is up anyway? Hell I say go out there and do a quarter run if theres enough road. Lets just set up a camcorder and tape the 1/4 mile line

im going to the track sunday to see what i can get out of the car. But no kandela that was on january 11th (wrong dade put in). Yeah that was on 17 but we stopped at 6820rpm which means that if we went to 8000rpm it would be making about 10-15 whp more than that.
i ran a honda cbr 750 & lost by 2 car up to 165mph. And thats on 12lbs. Right now im on 12lbs until i get the msd

/\ thanks. i had to buy the datalogit from rx7.com for him to tune it cause that power FC commander just didnt work. I never seen him do part throttle but im sure he doesnt mind. 500-520hp will be enough for me as long as i kill a 750cc bike. I keep loosing by 2-3 cars

edit: i would love to go to your meets kandela but i dont get off of work on the weekdays till 11pm but if you set anything up on the weekend let me know

Alex lopez told people that he built his winning motor cos it was painted yellow but the brains behind the motor who really built it was Carlos Lopez and it left his shop in red which is his color.

enjoy it . it wont be long before you pop it.
i really dont have a problem with you mentioning my name.am happy if you did get that power on pump gas that it is.anybody can tune but the question is how long will it last?the way you drive and racing bikes i dont think very long.i am personaly done with rotaries i love them but there gas sucking dragons,most mechanics like alex that like you say even with paying them to do a job they think they are the ones doing us a favor by working on our car,when they want,how. they want,when ever they want.bull shitt no more when am done with my project7 wich i think he allready knows about it you and who ever wants to race me lets do it. am not saying am the fastest but fast enoghf,realiable,and preatty much bullet proof.so he mite have a car or 2 that will be faster but ill still be running with the same engine.ha,ha,ha.

Ex-*******-actly. I have gotten that treatment before from rotary mechanics. I have money and I can pay anybody to fix my car and I selected you. I hope when you take my money to feed your face and kids, pay part of your rent, or put money into your track car you pull down at the drag, that you remember that I or some other hard working soul gave you that money. Your not even Unique custom or hardcore shop (which even they do the job as per customer and right!) So stop being ********.
That also means you (Ricky of Ricky's Auto Center and other surrounding shops of that area (Which I will not name names.)
That is why I try my best to do all the work on my own.

yeah but you see freddy i know there was stuff happening that i didnt know about from him. Im not saying you or carlos is lying. But from my own experience hes a pretty cool guy and he knows what hes doing. Even though there are shops that will just take your money (PNC) and not even do what there supposed to. The reputable shops. If you have the money then you can get the power you want with the reliability. It goes in the triangle. {Horsepower, Reliability, Price} you can only have 2. If you want price & horsepower, its not going to be reliable
a roger i need to know where you got your bumper from. i need some parts from it!

With all due respect to all you highly re(t)garded rotary compadres, what is the world coming to in 2007 when Alex Lopez is being compared to (or mentioned in the same thread for that matter) with Steve Kan?? This is truly a sign of the end times...

James,
Stop badmouthing and talking crap about peoples shops. Everyone knows Alex lopez was your last resort to build your car. Thats why you had to take it there. So just chill out and have fun with what you got now.

Damn Roland at 10:15 you must be a bit buzzed by now, but you still made a good assessment of this situation.

Darkphantom,
Its true that Alex Lopez was your last resort because you burned your bridges everywhere else trying to shop for price instead of for quality. People who have been around rotaries long enough know the real deal and the truth that Alex lopez owes it to Carlos Lopez for making him famous. After all Carlos lopez built the first Vira motor and then when Alex broke it he had the nerve to take it back to Carlos to rebuild it and to add insult to injury he took it to Carlos painted in Yellow and then took credit again when he won another race. Alex should come clean and admit what he did.
