So I was on my way to my friend's apt for a party supposedly, just cruising, savin' gas. I hit a red light. Car pulls next to me. I thought it was a Trans-Am.



Guy whistles at me. I look...it's an FD! haha...I was like "YEEAAHHH!!!! I'M NOT ALOOOOOONE!!!!"



haha..



I haven't perfected launching yet, with my quite unstreetable OS Giken twin-plate w/ flywheel, so I didn't launch.



He semi-launched, and had about 2 cars by the time I went WOT and hit full-boost in 1st. 2nd gear, he hit rev limiter, and was spinning in 2nd(stock rims on his) he says.



So then I was next to him in 2nd, but I hit fuel-cut about about 6,700RPM...lost about half a car thx to it.



By 3rd gear, he ended having 1 car on me, 'tis all.



Then we pulled over to talk.



It was awesome lookin' under that hood. LS1 or whatever. Nice aftermarket radiator with well-done ducting. Totally sweet. Very quiet too, haha, can you believe that? Oh, he shot flames too. So when I saw the LS1, I couldn't help but think about that...usually you affiliate ROTARY with shooting flames out of the exhaust. haha



Cool guy too. Avid forum-er, but aparently he's been somewhat "disowned" for going V8, at least on RX7club he said.



I thought it was cool. He gave me some good rotary-related tips/advice too. :P



My mods? Bah

Thats still pretty cool you didnt get stomped by him. He pry has close to 100hp and 150lbsq advantage on you.

lol thanks v8

I can't see why it's hitting fuel cut at 10psi with just intakes, dp, exhaust, and "poor man's non-seq."



Explain THAT to me, and then I can 'tune' it....with...you tell me.



I have it turned down to 8 1/2-9psi now.



Learn how to drive, you say?



Didn't you read the part where I said I was uncomfortable with the clutch, thus I didn't launch?



Why do you have to be so rude? Not cool. :/

boxrs4sale

wow. encouraging.

Sounds like you had some fun. I would think with your mods he would have ate you alive but good runs non the less

Lionheart240

Eh..I met up with him later and he kept pointing out his loss of traction and lack of manual-transmission skills.



I don't doubt him, but I think he's still exaggerating.



I had met someone who's quite rotary-knowledgable, has quite the collection, and almost bought mine before I did, and he gave me props saying I have a really clean car that's pretty quick. His FD is non-seq, but he has it set up right at a solid 10psi. He couldn't figure out why I fuel-cut at or anything over 10psi either in late 2nd gear, or mid 3rd gear, etc.



Bleh. All I want is 10psi solid. Until I upgrade to Power FC, fuel-pump, FMIC, radiator, etc.

Eff the V8. Good run, get the car going better.

Don't mind rfreeman27, he is usually grumpy.



At least the V8 was a clean swap like you said.
