Spinz_Tech 02-19-2002 06:42 PM

Is that car at a workshop.



So is it like fast and the furious over there?, all that NOS and all

Rotaryman88 02-19-2002 06:42 PM

I'll have to drag him in my *cough* SE...

I know he'd win, but hey...at least I'd be seen with it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Rotaryman88 02-19-2002 06:46 PM

Yea...my car is up at Rotary Performance in Manassas Va, its the only good rotary shop in Va..besides Peter Farrel(which I'm sure many of you have heard of) but he only deals w/ 3rd gens and is kind of a prick to other 7s...I have to work on my car up there because I have no garage space at my house anymore...we just got a new car. I also like having many tools and of course Brett(the owner of the shop) help me with things. He's a good guy and knows more then I ever will about these cars, lol...well, at least until I get my shop open https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

agrillo 02-19-2002 06:47 PM

Man your in heaven there!!! The only way I see cars like that are on the web.......

Spinz_Tech 02-19-2002 06:49 PM

My Rx3 is running real rich in fuel, because i havent got the EFi tuned yet. I strted it up at the show and gave it a rev for a pretty big crowd and it popped out a pretty big fireball out the exhaust. Its recorded on my vid camera im hoping to somehow take the image of my vid, but not sure how.

I got family in Manassas drove my 1st gen there two years ago and I will probably take a trip in my 2nd gen this year, if you open a shop I can stop by for an oil change..... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

Rotaryman88 02-19-2002 06:55 PM

Yea...I love going to the shop, just about everytime I go in there is something new and cool.

The owner has many race cars that he uses in SCCA..no 3rd gens though...he uses 1st & 2nd gens(his specialty) and miatas. Behind the shop is a exracecar graveyard...its kinda sad..there are about 4 or 5 SCCA prepped cars that are all banged up or blown up, etc...he's been racing for a long LONG time, lol...

Rotaryman88 02-19-2002 06:59 PM

My shop won't be in Manassas most likely..it'll probably be farther south...around Mechanicsville or Petersburg/Richmond.



I found a pic of the $18K SCCA NA that Brett used last season...BTW its for sale if your interested and $18K is the asking price...he has a red one just like w/ no motor that I think he's asking like $12K for....

agrillo 02-19-2002 07:00 PM

What is bad is that my job gets in the way of havin fun....I cant spend enough time around cars....... :frown:

Spinz_Tech 02-19-2002 07:01 PM

My Friend Started up a Rotart Performance shop over here in Adelaide Australia.



He does some work for good cars like mine, building motors and anything else that needs doing, but mainly seels parts for rotaries.



He has a RX4 Coupe Race Car 13B Periphial Port Fuel Injected.

agrillo 02-19-2002 07:04 PM

I had a stock 74 RX4 in 81 and at 115mph the front end would lift, kinda scarry but that machine would fly..., thats what got me to buy an 83 7 back then and I have been driving them ever since..... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

Spinz_Tech 02-19-2002 07:10 PM

You guys should check out some the crazy stuff which is happening with rotaries over here in oz. They are just getting quicker and quicker.

Spinz_Tech 02-19-2002 07:12 PM

Spinz_Tech 02-19-2002 07:21 PM

That RX4 Flys, it is extremely quick for a non turbo. Periphial Ports are excellent

bigtime 02-19-2002 07:25 PM

thats a nice fd

agrillo 02-19-2002 07:26 PM

That is an understatment...The RX4 I had was an automatic and I must say it really impressed me........ https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

Rotaryman88 02-19-2002 07:30 PM

Yea, when you come up we should meet up...I'd like to see the tranny I'm sending you used again, lol. It holds up great and never gave me trouble...its has 111,300 miles to the dot on it...and only 15K of them were w/ me driving it, lol.



What else do you need to have done to your vert to get it running?

ThirdGenRX7 02-19-2002 10:33 PM

that green FD was at KDR a while ago. i saw it on somebody's website. he went to MADS and wrecked it. it was previously a red R1 i believe. should have apexi single turbo, ported engine etc. its mainly a track car.....
