A guy told me about his dad's 3 rotor 3 turbo FD one time. And how when the 3rd rotor kicks in its really fast.

If there is a four rotor here, it's been locked in a closet for 10 years. I would know of it otherwise.

The third rotor is activiated by the custom hybrid iVTEC solenoid.

How do you address such an issue? I have a few friends that drive Hon-duhs and try to tell me about my car but when they talk about it is so obvious they dont even know how the internals of a rotary work. Do you just shut up and smile inside at the stupidity or whip out a knife and cut their dicks off to keep them from polluting the gene pool anymore?

The latter response, while messy, would leave future generations a lot happier and better off.

There is a guy on a local forum that claims that his twin tornado made his fox body go from a 15 sec 1/4 mile to a 11 sec 1/4 mile. It is hilarious. He won't race any of the guys that can do a 11 second or faster 1/4 mile. Damn ricers.

I haven't told you about what's really in my Neon cause I don't want you all to cry. My RX-7 is just a toy to play with the Neon is where it's at.



I have a blown Viper engine installed in there and we added the neon engine to it with my friends propane welder so it's got 14 pistons pumping out power.



Yeah.

[quote name='bencb44' date='May 26 2005, 10:44 AM']I've come to suspect one of my old high school football friends of being a ricer. He's still really cool, and I like hanging out with him, but now I can't talk cars with him. I went home for the weekend a few weeks ago, and met up with him at our old high school during a track meet. He told me he got a new car, so I was like "Cool, let me see" so we walk over to the parking lot and he shows me a nice looking eclipse. I like them so I was still excited, but then he tells me it was dynoed at 500 hp and it's all stock and he raced it and ran a 9 sec 1/4 mile. Now, I don't know much about any car other than my fd, but I was pretty sure that that was impossible. Also the drag strip he told me he ran at is a 1/8 mile strip. After telling him that, he said something like "Oh, I also have a huge *** trubo and race headers and a v6" So now I just want to see under the hood to see for myself. He pops the hood and there sits a 4 banger with headers and an intake. That's it. I tell him "uh. that's a 4 cylinder head" so he goes " Yeah we kept the stock head so it will look like it's mostly stock" ok, now I know that's not right. so I ask where the turbo is, He says it's under the engine so you can't see it. So I say I don't belive that its making 500 hp and ask for a ride. We get in, get out of the school zone and he floors it. It takes about 3 blocks to get up to 60 mph.

Such a sad day. But I'll get to race him when I get my car runnign again and listen to him make funny excusses why he lost
