1200 Miles on my Street port 1 hr. of dyno time to make sure it is running rich enough to be safe and no boost control so I am only pulling 0.7 bar or 10 PSI = 320 RWHP right now.
I took the 7 out for a spin it was a great night for driving. I am cruisinh along this 4 lane highway w/ stop lights and an Acura Integra starts doing this fall behind fly up behind me deal. He was kinda pissing me off. Then an S-2000 with an exhaust and lots of stickers on the side of it pulls along side, there is a light changing ahead and the S2000 is about to be lined up w/ me except this dork in an Explorer decides to stop at the yellow.
I swing behind the s-2000 and the Integra is next to the s-2000. Light green I nearly rear end the s-2000 and have to let off. We clear the explorer and I swing out as I shift to second. Now there is nothing in front of us for a good mile easy. I rund her through 2nd just walking away shift to 3rd and hit it hard look up and the S-2000 is a dot in my rearview.
I stoped and talked to them they were all asian and he knew rotaries pretty good. He said 13BT right or do you have a 3 Rotor? I laughed and said no 13b-REW with a single. They were pretty cool.
So I am driving back ther other way since I passed the store I intended to go to when I met the S-2000. I see a WS-6 trying to get a SS Camaro to go. My buddy (who has a 375FWHP Eclipse) was behind me in his pickup truck and saw me. He was begging me on our Nextels to take out the WS-6. I really didn't see a safe opportunity. So I hung back. We passed a cop w/ someone pulled over. MY V-1 was going nuts pointing to the rear after I passed so the cop.
The road opened up but I did not want to go. Cop too close by. Plus he was getting in his car, done with the pull over.
We were heading to a 2 mile long bridge and we were alone traffic was about 1/2 mile ahead. He looked over at me and hit it. I downshifter to second and hit it he had a car on me by the time I took off. I shifted to 3rd and started walking up on him slowly. By 110 MPH I had him by 1 car. It was not devestating kill but I hung w/ him and passed him so I was happy especially since I was not running any boost control boosting a mere 10 PSI and the car is definatly not tuned for optimum performance.
Mazdadrifter and I are taking off of work in about 2 weeks and heading to the dyno for the day. We are getting these cars tuned once and for all.
BTW - As we were hitting over 100 MPH my V-1 was telling me there was radar shooting from behind. I hit my brakes hard and pointed behind me and pointed at my V-1 to the WS-6 as he got along side me. The cop eventually caught up but had nothing on us. I did a u-turn and went back to the store I was intending to go to.......again.

Look foward to being tuned and back at 1 bar. I would have raped that WS-6 if it was 2 weeks from now.
I just got my Motec boost controler its pretty cool I can dial in whatever boost I want to be at at whatever RPM range.
I am reading up on what wires I need to tap into and playing with the boost range map on a mock map.

OMG NICE!!!
I'm so glad you beat Jonny Tran (white turbo Celica) and his *** Asian posse up there. Screw those rich Asian kids and their Kung Fu ****. Everytime I drove the Tiburon, the kid in the white Celica, would rev on me like a stock GTS with a turbo kit is impressive. Then his homeboys in the 2000 and NSX would try to show off too. But when I'm in the RX7 it's nothing but open jaws cuz they didn't know I was the same guy. Bah. Great kills Jim. You make this rotary owner a proud man.
