well yes they are streetable...any car is....its all a matter of do you really want to drive that car on the street everyday making huge noise smoke and getting 2mpg?

Nobuteru 08-15-2003 04:08 PM

damn, 2mpg?? lol thats a little harsh on the wallet. Like i said, just some ideas. As of now, 99% sure im going with street port and T04 and some specialty items which shall remain nameless until it is completed.

2 Mpg ?, thats a gross exaguration , smoke ? , what smoke ? , leaves me to wonder if you even know what you are speaking about , have you even seen or ridden in a "big ported" turbo rotary. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

FrestyleFC3S 08-16-2003 09:02 PM

you dont smoke at startup like every other rotary with no cats?



yes 2mpg is a gross exaggeration....but its pretty close too it...



i know what "i am speaking about"....it leaves me to wonder if ur not letting yourself realize that a pp big turbo car is streetable but really isnt smart...punch the gas in rain, spin

"punch the gas in the rain and spin" most turbo 7's can do this stock

Actually , yes my car lets out a very light puff of blue smoke on initial start up which clears up almost immediately after it starts to heat up , this is because I use premix in my fuel.

"Punch the gas in the rain " , this is not only DUMB but irresponsible, I did that once when my car was stock and ended up at the side of the road , luckily there weren't any other cars in sight and I didn't hit anything.Weather you ar driving a stocker , a mild or wildly modified RX , a CICIV or a mimivan a lot of responsibility comes with driving.

When I punch the gas on the dry asphalt with 325 /35 /17 Pirellis in the back I get scared because the car begins to " dance " , I don't even want to think about what could happen in the rain.

If you are giving someone advice , please try your best to be truthful and accurate with what you say , If you don't know then say so, as I said I drive a Half Bridged 13B , with a massive TA51 on it every day , I even go to the market with it , my biggest problem is the ACT Extreme clutch which is a bit fierce in traffic , but hey its a modified car , you got to give a little here and there, one of these areas is your gas mileage , it gets worse ,but its alot better than 2mpg's .You have to decide what you want , there is no Free lunch in the world of modified cars , period.I bit the bullet and went in head first and am happy to say that I love my car a whole lot more now and no mild ported street port can even think about coming close to what my baby spits out at only 10psi (for now , I hope to got to 28psi soon) !!. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png

DuMaurier 7 let's see some pictures!

You are only running 10psi on a half BP, why so low?

DuMaurier 7 08-17-2003 10:38 PM

Only 10 psi because I am breaking in after replacing those SHITTY HURLEY seals with the good ol MAZDA 3pc ones , as for the pics , I can never get those posted , but I am also a member of the EVIL forum and I go them posted there , i'll get the address and put it up here. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
