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

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) !!.
