yeah it was me in the grey FC....this Rx7 was sitting in a back yard for 10 years and was given to me for free.....this has been my training wheels for the last 4 months and its the OG GXL engine,but the engine is tired,lots of smoke coming out of the tail pipe when engine cools down......
so is most of the electical shorting out in the engine.The only smoke i saw was coming out of my dash......lol.thought for a second i had electrical fire.....

thanks shoneeko.....i saw your blue T2 and it look pretty good too......saw that you had some engine trouble for a bit...did you foul up your plugs or something.....

here is a few pics of the engine's been saving them for one day and now its time....

I dunno man, Mike essa [Techtrix] has a ls7 motor with t56 tranny combo, and it weighs about 70 pounds more? It seems like his car does overly awesome with 400flb of torq and 400 hp..... A 20b, wouldnt weigh that much more than a 13b would it? its only a extra rotor and housing and alonger eshaft... more power the better as long as you have wideer tires, at least 255s wide..

It was great meeting new drivers and seeing some familiar ones. Lots of rotary power going around and it was awesome. Great little track, tough transition in that small keyhole, kinda dark after that, haha. We should be seeing some great drivers come out of this venue very soon. Hope to see some of you guys out at Willow!

I was in the white FC, 10AE.

yeah i know the throttle is going to be snappy.....but i will have to get used to it.....i have had powerful 13B's and 20B for drag racing and on street cars before ,i know the feeling but need to get use to it with the extra weight and power....

These are a few cars with my work....and they all run.....big fan of 3 Rotors...

1st:68 Datsun 510 with full race street port 20B 800HP EFI turbo Y2K88mm turbo
2nd:71 Mazda (616)or Rx2 20B 650hp turbo with super T-80 mm turbo EFI
3rd:77 Mazda RX3 SP also Full race street port 700+hp 20B EFI with Y2k88MM TURBO

WHAT DOES THIS POWER GET YOU......NO WHERE.......NEED WIDE TIRES LOL

Can't wait to go back to track soon with the updated FC3S and try it out....brappp brapppp.

nah man, injector clips are all cracked, so they get loose sometimes when drifting. It just sucks that it had to happen during competition time

Or instead of the peripheral port, go with a full bridge port or half bridge, with those high compression RX-8 rotors! No turbo = funnnn.

I wish this were closer I would love to go.
Also those 20b's are awsome. An FC with a 20'b would be just fine, if you were even worried about it weight wise. Toss some bricks in the trunk or Put some subs in the trunk that should suffice to get the weight even lol.
