^^ more to come!!

that’s a lot of weight loss…should be super extra fast now. lol

Staying rotary, or going V8?

lol almost every picture i see of FD’s is motorless. Wonder if that has anything to do with reliability of rotaRies?

just playin :stuck_out_tongue:

staying rotary, and mucho upgrades.

they are not reliable if they are not tuned properly, a flawless tune and 3mm apex seals will take that motor over 100k miles under reasonable boost.

:word:
I’ve always heard that RX-7s run on hopes and dreams! :stuck_out_tongue:

and the blood of virgins and infants

haha so they are not tuned properly from the factory???

prolly the best mod you can make to an FD

kidding, kidding :wink:

to a point, if you leave them stock, except for the downpipe and air separator tank, they are pretty reliable. There are a bunch of guys on rx7club who run stock except for safety and reliability mods (downpipe, AST, silicone vac hoses, alum rad) and they have had the car w/ the original engine since 1993.

Nice, going fred flintstone style huh? :P. Hope all goes well with the buildup and the car runs better than ever when its all said and done! :tup:

they might be more reliable than a dsm…

Bout to put a v8 in it. I can smell it.

blah blah blah, we’ll see after you blow it up again. I remember another local FD guy telling me this exact thing, right before his 2nd motor blew.

I have no idea who or what you are talking about…lol

A very farmilar picture LOL

When is the LS1 going in? hahahahahahahahah. Who’s doing the new motor/rebuild ?

Jeller

hurry up :slight_smile: we gotta have 2 running at the same time :stuck_out_tongue:

:lol: ^ impossibility

god there are so many hoses haha

3 ROtar and huge turbo or nothing at all.

I did a research paper on the downfall of the rotary and got an A. hollR
