Hey, i am new here, so here is a myth i heard from a friend, he say you can make any rx7 pass smog if you pour some rubbing alcohol (isopropanol)in the tank before your test and it will pass.

is there any truth to this? Thanks.

How can I be? You wear such skimpy pants. I know because I have seen them in Hillcrest. That is the gay part of SD for you who don't know.

And I have several homosexual relatives and is currently dating a bi sexual female.

Shut up you male post ******

I heard that when an apex seal blows it can make it through a turbine spinning in excess of 15K rpm and make it out without hitting a single turbine blade !

Yes. I've had a dumbass RX-8 owner park next to me when I was at Willow Springs and look directly at my LS1 FC's engine bay and say "Us rotary guys gotta stick together!"

There's a higher risk of you losing both feet if you spin the engine past 10k+ RPM's That's why you get a scatter shield.
