will you let me ***** the boards in peace please


but yeah the motor is being saved up for just having a few snags on the way as far as buying it and getting it set up



damn brakes had to go on me

 

Ummm one of the reasons they stoped making them for awhile is because they arnt as efficient as they should be, but they make alot of power out of a small package, I was looking into getting a 96 RX7 once but I just don't fit well in that car. (6'5") Also i was told for more power you could always hook up too rotary engines, the 91 RX7's have some really small rotary engines. you guys should take a look at one some time.

 

Hey, Rx7speed how many miles you have on that car?

 

So Bob and Rob are riding along in their horse driven carriage. Bob gets to thinkin'...

"Rob?" Bob says.
"Yah, Bob."
"One horse carries us in this here horse driven carriage pretty dern well, right?" Asks Bob.
"Yah, Bob." Rob Replies
"Well... why not put two horses in front of this here horse driven carriage?" Bob suggests. "We could have twice as good as this dern lonely horse up there."

And *** said, let there be speed.

EDIT: lol...g0d is censored? meh...
I dont know if I like the fact that I can't say
Thank ***. But I can say praise Ala ... lol
(No offense!...please don't take offense!)

 

dam im N/a FWD .... owell i got a $500 1G GSX that i got ...to bad it doesnt run

 

EWWWWWWWW N/A FWD DSM!! The near bottom of the food chain. Just above Civics and Sentras...lol

(Just kiddin' man)


Anyone seen the riced out Sentras...man 'o man do I laugh my *** off at them...

 

RX7Speed i got a 89TII for sale pretty cheap but it has a blown rotor and other small stuff (thats why i went ahead and bought the GSX) its red like yours looks the same cept for hood(sure u know that) let me know if your interested the only prob is the shipping and crap. I read your post about wanting one and thought i should give it a try

 

never had a 96
last year was 95

least stateside

the reason they are not being made anymore isn't because of how efficient they where

but the thirdgen 93-95 rx7 did have some issues that mazda never fix.... can be fixed by the owner though fairly easily.
price 35,000 brand new in 93
and the two seat sport car market took a dump at that time....
a lot of two seat sport cars died off at that time....


also as far as hooking up two engines together


too much work
you would need some sort of weird coupler just to make it work right

best thing if you want a larger motor is go buy a 20b from japan
easy easy easy 500hp and quite a bit of torque even
problem is cost... and if you want to set the car up too keep the good handling and weight distro... you would want to cut the firewall, move the motor about 6-7 inches back... move the tranny back.... get a shorter driveshaft... and all the other stuff that goes with that... not worth it....... YET!!!!!

 

last time I checked about 184k

soon to be 185

 

:-p


I remember my time driving a 91 eclipse N/A


sorry but way too slow for my taste


way way way too slow........
but then again the turbo one... wel that is another story


oh yeah I have someone who wants to race me in that same 91 eclipse
it was my sisters but she sold it to a friend.... she really thinks she can beat me but yet she can hardly shift

 

sure I would buy it, if you want to float me a loan

kinda broke right now

 

actually the only dsm i have is the gsx(turbo awd) i bought. My other Eclipse is a 3g so it isnt a dsm, its n/a but atleast a v6.

Rx7speed dont know how much i can help you with that

 

RX-7 Speed,


I see a blue Mazda RX-7 GTU on my way home from classes everyday. What kind of performance do those models have and how would it fare?

 

OK........ enough about the damn RX7!!!!! It's not the only Maz-duh in existence ya know!!!!!!!

You can call me a rycer!!!!!! My wife and I also have a '93 MX6. I think it's a POS, but that just because replacement parts cost SO DAMN MUCH!!!!

Front calipers for my Camaro...... $13
Front calipers for the Maz-duh.....$50

It's got a 2.5L V6 with a 5 spd. It's about 160HP and 160 lb.ft/TQ. Not bad considering the car only weighs ~2700 lbs.

Weight/HP ratio for my Camaro...... 3600lbs. @ 170HP is 21.2lbs/hp.
Weight/HP ratio for the Maz-duh.....2700lbs. @ 160HP is 16.9lbs/hp.

And it is fun winding a motor to 7K, and still having a descent amount of torque compared to a 4 banger. And that thing handles on rails. My car would if the *** end would quit drifting on me.

Here's a pic...... We just put the wheels on yesterday. $932 for 17"x7" wheels/Nitto tires/mounted/balanced/and shipped. I wish wheels for my car were that cheap.

Sorry...... no big wings or fart cans on this car. It's gonna be mostly GO with a LITTLE bit of show.

Most of us non import guys are mainly concerned with Mazdas Rx-7 and disregard the other models. There are 3 MX6s in Carbondale. They don't seem like anything special like the Rx-7s are.

 

That was a joke aimed at rx7speed.

That's good! At least I know it's closer to the sleeper look then.

I get tired of people always talking about Nissans Skylines and no one mentions the Nissan Silvias, which a lot of them when properly tuned can put out as much as 500bhp from a single turbocarged 4 cylinder and they are RWD too. Too bad they can't be imported to the U.S. because the U.S. equivelent the 240SX just plain sucks performance wise.

 

thats why so many 240sx owners put a sr20(silvia engine i think) in there cars then they have a fast car that handles awesome!

 

GTU is for the most part the same as any other Rx7

just has a LSD, almost no options, stiffer turbo susp, 4 piston brakes up front vs 1 piston for base, vented rear rotors, and an aero package.

all in all
about the same as my car

maybe low 16's high 15's stock

me want a silvia also


but would still rather have a skyline

 

Besides having the engines shipped over from Japan, the Silvia engine swap is not as straight forward as you would think. There are a lot of modifications involved. It's worth it though if you can get it to work properly.


I think of the Siliva as Nissan's Camaro and the Skyline as Nissan's Corvette.

Here's a pic of an S15 Silvia modified by Abflung.

 

DEVIANB!

Please come to our website at www.kytnar.org and register. You are from Carbondale, and we have quite a lot of members from this area. You can visit the boards and chat with local car geeks, plus you can come along with us to the track when everything thaws out this spring.

devianb ive seen alot of them (sr20) on ebay, in us, going for like 1200, saw two in miami so they are available in the us. Now about it not being straight foward well that i didnt know since every 240 owner ive seen on forums have it and plenty of sentra owner also.

 

Ok, ok. I never had someone wanting me to join a group so badly. I join later after breakfast.

 

Well, now that the swap is popular, it is fairly common to get your hands on one of those engines. Back in the day it wasn't so easy. I'm just saying when you swap engines, you have to modify parts of the body to make the engine fit properly and do some splicing of the engine harness. The swaps are easier and easier now that more people have done them.

 

OUCHH! He should have been in low 9's DEAD stock or even high 8's with traction in a light weight coupe. I take it he was not the best driver or the car was a little weak. All depends on the track to though. I just got an ex- Florida Highway Patrol car myself. The SSP cars are highly popular cars to restore or modify. I have a 3 friends with DSM's. All are 2nd gens though. They are all cheap to make fast but when they break....get out the $$$! Main reason I will stick with my Mustangs!
