3 rotor in an FB is madness. Those cars like snap oversteer without a 20b.

You gotta have some bank to play with RX-7’s. If you’re \<25 in the GTA with aN RX-7 (FD moreso) insurance companies hate you more than the KKK hates Obama. They’re hot cars, look like an exotic with proper aero, and with good suspension and tuning they can murder a lot of exotics around the track. Phenomenal cars, absolutely love the FD, but stand no fucking chance of affording insurance, thus, the $300 or so per month S14 over the don’t-even-ask RX7.

god don’t need 2 stroke oil lmfao that only if you’re real serious about making power lmao

I like the way 240s look a few of my friends have em but i prefer the FC FD one day, or an s15 lol

the scoot fd is based of the 12a motor all the other vids here are based off the 13b adn there would be more if the E shaft didnt cost 10k

Since this is a rotary thread, i’ll chime in with some local rotary love.

  

This is my uncle Dave’s 3 rotor he had out testing last season, this season is a new motor and ready to race!

Last season, this FD was a carb’d 3 rotor/peri that put down 387whp@8,000rpm.

This season it will have the same ports but with fuel inj. 🙂 I cant wait for the first test day!

finally some rotary love as far as the premix goes all i know is that it’s a whole lot better than oem omp, cause the oil from the sump is not desiged to lubricate the way the engine needs it to. but premix oil is designed to. i know some budds who use a modifiyed opm to run 2 stoke oil just that reason. and when they pull the engine apart they find no wear; plus it smells better than colone.

Dave is your uncle? Nice. If Dave was MY uncle, I’d definitely still be driving a rotary…then I’d be able to afford it. 🙂

He’s done some good work on my cars in the past.
