Nah, that was his stock (weak) block when we went to the track. There is NO way to hang with Kyle since he put in the Pineapple motor. I mean, it's scary fast when the car pops a squat and goes! It is the fastest Rx-7 I have been in.



We were both learning how to drive that day. He was more consistent. I kept missing 3rd gear. If I can figure out how to trim a 115 meg video to the last 16 minutes, you'll see what I mean. Kyle is a better driver...since he underwieghs me by at least 100 lbs!

I love watching fast street RX7's race, they just look so mean when they accelerate. One of my favorite videos that I have seen was a 10.7 sec RX7 vs. a 10.8 sec 240SX. I thought it was going to be a close race the whole way but the 240SX was powered by a Turbo KA motor and absolutely left the FD at least 3-4 cars back right at of the hole and then FD had to play catch up, that was great watching a 10 sec FD reel in that 240 and beat him by .1 sec. I'll host it if I can find it. What about Jason's car? Has he got it running yet? I know last time his motor popped on him, I wasn't sure if he has ever got it back yet.

TOOO much torque on the old Eagle F1 Steels. A set of Nittos will be ordered, then I'll see what real tires can do. I would not be surprised to get 1.9s out of them. Since I did so bad with the ET Streets (did not warm them up enough).
