OMGWTHDRIFTGUY

I still see windshield wipers on your friends "every last thing possible" race car.

razorback

im with this guy, especially since i think i remember you have a cage?

(ive weighed my fc bumper support things, i know its not fd, but i cant imagine them being any lighter, and they are around 15lbs a piece)

razorback

yeah, because we both know a wiper weighs 150lbs a piece.

OMGWTHDRIFTGUY

Well I guess sarcasm hasn't been introduced in arkansas yet. I imagine his road race car has other fun stuff. Like fenderwells, ABS, probably PS, factory IRS etc.

OH BTW. I think scale you went. is way off Did you went to one of those weight station for Truck ?. There are no way no the Street driving FD can weight 22xx pounds. My Fully strip Road RACE FC weight almost 23xx on the Longacre corner weight machine. and Trust me. I done almost every thing to save weigh( beside change to Dry carbon body parts). So the Correct weight of your FD should be like 29xx, well unless your FD is fully strip. and without roll cage, it might be possible, I could be wrong. Peace J"

Man do any of you people read the previous post to see what he has done to his car before you start posting **** up. He did weigh it on a corner scale and also look at what he has removed. All unnessary things under the hood, fenders and hood are fiberglass, everything else inside is stripped out, even has a FAL rear window, and got rid of the factory IRS setup. What's there not to believe because you who doubt it can't do it. Congrats LUPE get that thing out on the track soon.

crispeed

I was wondering the same also. I've seen many FC's and FD's that were around 2300lbs. The Japtrix FC mentioned earlier in the thread actualy weighed around 2300lbs without driver and had all factory glass and power windows intact. I've also seen FD's about the same weight with less removed than on a FC.

or missouri either it seems.

Hey like what has been stated by Crispeed already I've seen FC's and FD's in the the 2300lbs range so it can be done. Lupe's car is at the boderline of what some people would consider a street car hell he doesn't even have a muffler on it. But it's all to the owners idea what he considers a street driven car. My car will weigh under 2000lbs with me in it and will see some street driving. But you'll probably call bull **** on me even if I tell you it's a Datsun 1200. Throw that video up of the weigh in Lupe and run it at the track. That's the only true test and measure.

Reference to my car was only to show difference in what others consider a street car. Personally I don't consider his FD a street car. It's street driven but not a daily driven street car. And I meant for him to run at the track. All numbers can be manipulated but not the numbers ran at the track.

LUPE

Boy, I sure didn't think people would doubt me.

crispeed

[QUOTE= his past reputation on ths board, are you surprised people are calling bullshit?[/QUOTE]

Well the way I see it he's got everything to prove and in time he will when he's ready too. I would think that claiming 600hp at 2295lbs should result in some pretty impressive results at the track.
The next thing everyone is going to want to know is if the scales were corrected for altitude or see a notorised printout from the scales. **** we might as will go all out and get Dyno refrees and judges!

lol this is funny.....jealousy creates doubt.....just because someone you know can't get the weight down to this or just because you can't....doesn't mean someone else somewhere else can't do it.....this car is very light....i saw the scales i just wish i would have had my digi cam out to take a pic of it....i would have already posted it...but i believe LUPE cause i saw the scales with my own two eyes.

LUPE

I've posted all the answers to your questions over and over again. If it bothers you so much, then search.

razorback

street legal and street car are two seperate things. when im done with my fc, it should be streetable, but not street legal. ive seen him post that he has very little intention to running at the track, so i dont know if you will be getting any track numbers from him.

LUPE

When my car was tuned in August, the dynosheet read 455whp.

I have over 25 witnesses that watched my car dyno and get weighed. Do you think there is some sort of conspiracy here?

Damn these V8 RX7 guys sure like to hate on rotary's. Oh well atleast he is putting a Mopar in it instead of some LS1. Personally I like a 440 with a four speed. Sorry to get off track but hell that's where this thread is going anyways. Good luck to you all.

razorback

i like rotaries still, i should be picking up an fb this weekend, im going to try to do a turbo 12a. so want to try again? i did consider the 4 speed but im sticking with the 727, since it will be mostly a track car.

johnrxt2

i saw the scales w my two eyes also. im sure they are accurate considering that every car in that shop is a fully caged road race track car. They probably never wiegh cars like that.hmm? The ownwer of tuxedp park racing even posted on this forum saying that all #s were legit.

LUPE

Something tells me that even if I do post the video up, the excuses and doubting will never stop.

The hate around this joint never cease's to amaze me.

johnrxt2

next time we need to bring an official rx7 tuning judge to make sure that every number and spec is correct. i say we call in R- ted

Jealous of Eric... HAH! Eric has a nice car because he can't get women... he has SPS - Yes... Small ***** Syndrome....he spends every cent he has on his FD, and then never drives it...and then we he does drive it, it makes nice big numbers, and people say oooh ahhhhh and then it just sits again, until he gets more boost and a tuner... and then people say ooooh ahhhh and then he gets another turbo... what a loser... did I say eric? I mean't me... sorry Eric.

HAHA J/K

ANyway... I've talked to the guys at Davinci, Eric's car is what it says it is.... he's got a nice *** ride.. and there is no reason for him to lie about his setup... it would be one thing if the weight wasn't possible. Had eric said his car weighed 1900 lbs, I'd begin the questioning =)

I have a 93 base model, with a single turbo setup. I pulled the AC, PS, spare tire, jack, and thats it...the car weighed in at 2680lbs last year.

Ohh yeah, I also pulled the little plastic divider behind the driver/passanger seats, and the little carpet peice that connects to the rear hatch! I'm shure that you could get a street driven FD down to sub 2600lbs without being to creative. I don't doubt one second a more track designed FD could tip the scales at sub 2300lbs. CJ
