Scott: We come in peace...

Chuck: Get your thumb out of my face!

 

Haha

 

I'd like to remind jackass that I made a WHOLE race with no penalty box time!

 

Jackass checkin in here.

Remember, I'm only 66.6% responsible for the 3 hour penalty.

What really sucks to me is that passing under yellow (and I only passed because the corner worker put the flag down for a second while he picked his butt or somethin) carries the same weight as any other penalty.

Seems like 4 wheel landscaping or trading paint are way worse.

 

Its so ******* hot outside!!!!!!

 

Hey man! I've been wondering how ya'll have been holding up.... any news on the next race?

 

^^^ October 1-2

Ill be out of town for that one. Maybe i can catch you guys at the end of the year or early next season.
good luck man!

 

omg it made it to the second page, that is totally unacceptable

 

^^^ What the ****, Chuck?

 

I think this turbo could use a rebuild before the next race.

 

^^^ I don' t see a problem.

SO - I'm going to put this out there:

Anyone in the Houston-ish area have a junk washing machine laying around? This is for a top secret Team Sensory Assault project.

 

Are you going to be racing in the Feb race at TWS in College Station? If so, I might be interested in driving.

 

^^^ You might not want to drive when you see what we are planning to bring.

I hate to let it out of the bag - but its my birthday that weekend and all I want to do is drive our RX2!!!









Car will be a turbocharged bridgeport.

 

Lemme guess - the previous owners were gonna restore it?

 

Awwwwwwweeeeeeeewwwww

You let it out!!!!!!!!!!

Well now that it is out, do u think the 4 speed and rear end will hold up to about 250-300 hp???

 

^^^ Maybe. For a little while.

 

Ok, thats kinda amazing. Believe it or not, my dad's first car (that he bought himself) was a RX-2. I am underterred about driving a RX-2, in fact that kinda makes it even more awesome.

As for the rear end and tranny - its a fairly low-torque motor still, so as long as you don't do drag starts hopefully it would hold up? Is it still the original equipment? If its an option, I have a NA mechanical LSD from a s4 rx-7 that I might let go for cheap for such a worthy cause. The plates are a bit worn, bit it still works well enough. I also have a NA transmission from the same car thats in good shape if the swap is even feasible.

 

Will the NA transmission hold the power??

Here is what happened last time we used the bridgeported motor with an NA transmission:





Seems to me the only logical thing to do is turbocharge the bridgeport (going to run FD twins or a GT4082 I have hanging around) and stuff it into the RX2!

Using an even older drivetrain from a car with less hp than an FC seems like a great idea!

If anyone has any sense, we probably should run a turbo transmission at the least. Anyone have any sense???

Nope!

 

Lol, I just saw the pictures of the car. Wow. That said, I've seen far worse run at Lemons. As for the transmission - yeah, turbo transmission would probably be a sound idea but an NA transmission would probably at least be better than the original, right? Although who knows.

 

Aren't the older transmissions supposed to be tougher? As I recall, the TII tranny is based on the pre-RX-7 transmissions with a 5th gear added.
The old live axle's seem to be pretty tough, too. When I was autocrossing, there was a local guy who ran the stock diff i his 355 V8-powered FB. Don't go drag racing and you might be OK.

 

^^^ I dunno but we do have an old school 4 speed hanging around. Might be easier to fit that since it won't require modding the driveshaft.

 

You know, I started think the same thing about the older transmissions being tougher. I though I had seen that they were more similar in construction to the TII transmission as well. I'll have to look into it some more and see what I can find.
