Hey don't get on my case. I'm not the one who doesn't know which turbo spools up faster all other factors being equal. lol !!! You were the ONLY person in that ENTIRE thread who thought that way. Yep, everyone else must be dumb.

If the "American Way" is being an *** (this is sarcasm people!) consider yourself a patriot! What did I say above that you failed to read. Let's see oh yes, "We aren't talking about a big multimillion dollar Formula 1 race team secret and this isn't a new military jet. We are talking about a 10 year old car that isn't made anymore." Do I really have to state every single thing in the world that this doesn't apply to? It's a personal use street car that is out of production! I think the military jet term covers the government as well don't you? Read a little better before you respond next time.

Ted we all know that you just like arguing with me personally. That's cool. One day when you prove me wrong on something maybe you'll finally shut up. Good luck because I don't take you seriously anyways. To me you are more of a sideshow rather than a bigtop act but wherever you are, it is definitely the circus and quite funny. Read back a few posts. I'm not the only one who feels this way. I find your posts personally amusing so please don't think you are getting under my skin at all. You aren't. I deal with far worse people than this everyday at work and can still smile at them too and get a good night sleep. I guess it's just my good character!

BTW: I hope you love Hawaii. I've been there twice and did some island hopping. It is a very beautiful place but maybe a little expensive. You are certainly a lucky person to get the chance to live in paradise everyday! But somehow I am glad that they are the most remote island chain in the world. Kind of makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside you know! Have a good time! I would! (I'm not even being sarcastic!)

People who say things are "secret" **** me off! There is nothing on an RX-7 worth keeping a secret. We aren't talking about a big multimillion dollar Formula 1 race team secret and this isn't a new military jet. We are talking about a 10 year old car that isn't made anymore. It is obviously not meant for a serious race track as the goal is on pump gas. We do know the wheel is bigger than a T-04R. Yay. If you won't tell us what the wheel is, do us a favor and in the future just don't say anything about your vehicle at all. If you can't tell all you shouldn't tell anything. No one is going to out and copy you anyways.

That being said, I wish you the best of luck and hope you meet your goal. It should be really nice.
hey go **** yourself, if you dont want to read my posts, dont read em. ill post whatever the **** i want. I was asked not to say what the wheel was by the builder. why would i **** someone over that did a favor for me for a ***** like you?

I think it is cool that you have a nice turbo and I hope it works great for you. If your builder told you not to tell anyone about the specs, ask him what he has to hide besides his credibility. What if someone else wanted a turbo like it because yours worked so good? I don't need one but if he is a business wouldn't it be better to show your work so you can benefit yourself by selling more? That's called income. If you are just doing what he requested, my beef isn't with you. Secrets are still crap when it comes to a daily driven car. Like I said earlier, this isn't military work, government work, a matter of national security, or some developmental race team secret. Extrapolate other scenarios off of that list. I'm sorry if I offended you but next time make it far more clear about why you won't post info. I never said you are trying to **** anyone over. Don't know where you got that one from. Thanks for the amusement. I love funny responses!
