Who all on this forum is from North Carolina? I feel like a loner with all this regional talk going on, and no one from NC is even on the forum, except 94touring.

I am...whoops you already knew that https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif Where in NC are you located anyways?

Yea, I saw that you were from NC a while back. I live in chatham county, you probably have never heard of it.. it's like in the middle of the state. About 30 minutes from greensboro and an hour from raleigh.

Yep never heard of it. Do you do work to your car yourself or do you take it somewhere in the state?

My car's stock right now.. just trying to buy the right stuff as of now. I haven't worked on them before.. so idk yet.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png I've thought about going up to Clean and Fast (cleanandfast.com) in Raleigh.. but not real sure yet.. and you?

My car is at Rotorsportsracing right now. Just doing some fuel upgrades for the new turbo I put in there. Then i'll be hitting the dyno with my buddy who bought my old apexi turbo kit. When I first got into the FD I had a buddy down here who did most my work, then slowly I started doing things myself like installing my custum turbo kit. But I leave the trickier things to Brian at rotorsports.

Yea, I may start to tinker around a little bit but I don't feel like ******* anything up.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png I think I've heard of Rotorsportsracing before, but where are they located?

Rotorsports is in Kannopolis, which is near.....beats me. It takes me like 4 hours to get there from here and a couple hours from Raliegh. Brian is a good guy, very good engine builder.

That's cool. Yea, I remember hearing Kannopolis before.. Looks like you have alot of mods already man. Have you dynoed or taking it to the track before?

I haven't dynoed this setup yet, my previous apexi turbo made 365rwhp and 352rwtq. Just guessing by the butt dyno i'm over 400rwhp now. I've never taken it to the track, just drive it to work everyday.

Sounds good man. I plan on keeping the twins until I'm forced to get new ones, then I'll probably go with the J spec twins, or another upgraded twin application. I don't wanna go single cause there's usually more lag, which I don't want.. maybe a small single wouldn't be too bad though..

Honestly I wouldn't worry about lag too much, its really over exagerated. And with some new turbo's like the gt35/40 with the use of dual ball bearings there is really no lag issues, but huge amounts of power to gain. There are certain turbo's like the greddy t-88 for example that are just plain too big for a normal street car.

I want my car to be a street car with good quick burst. I want the power to be there every time I hit the gas. That's why I was considering sticking with the twins or even a twin upgrade. Yea, those huge turbos produce alot of power but I imagine the lag of a t-88 would be noticeable..

hey im in charlotte nc hit me up nc people whos going to the show this next saterday hit me up im going i want to start a little tour to go

I'm located in Martinsville, Va. which is 45 min. away from Greensboro and 2 hours away from Kannapolis. I've got a '94 RX7 moded by PFS. What show are you guy's talking about and is it nearby?

Hey guys!! Nice to see your faces over here, well screen names that is.



My car is sitting and waiting for me in Kannopolis right now, just too lazy to drive up there. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png

Have I ever met you at rotorsports? Did you have a red fd with a bunch of peter farrel stuff in it?

I haven't been in here in a while.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png Two more people from NC, and one from VA. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

You're in VA and only 45 minutes from Greensboro.. I'm like 35 min. from Greensboro.

94touring- I'm thinking about taking my car to Rotorsports for stuff like intercooler, radiator, etc. I checked out how far it was at mapquest.com, Total Estimated Time: Total Distance: 116.10 miles 2 hours, 23 minutes It isn't too bad. I tried checking out their catalog, but it was under construcion.. Do they program PFC's?

North Carolina?? I thought it was North Kakalaka.. Thats how the country folks up here call north carolina. They tell me they came from down south some where in the kakalakas https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Any where in the country a person could buy legal fireworks is alright with me.

Yeah he has a datalog kit for the PFC's for tuning. In fact one of his personal cars has a pfc in it with a bunch of other mods.

lol at the North Kakalak thing.. yea, I haven't heard it been called that in a while.. South of our border you can buy some pretty good fireworks.

Good to hear he can work on the PFC's. I might have to check them out whenever I get all my stuff.

Haha, i've lived here 13 years and can't remember hearing any redneck calling it kakalaka https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png The fireworks can be bought in SC, not too far away from here, bought a ton of explosives last time I was at myrtle beach.

Yea, actually the only time I've heard NC called Kakalak, was from that rap song thing..

94touring-Have you ever heard of Cumberland Rotary in Fayetteville? I was just browsing around on ebay and found an FD that said they had a new engine installed by them: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...7&category=6327 Just curious to know if you've ever dealt with them.

No never heard of them before. But 10k for an fd is a steal!!

First time replying on Nopistons..but I'm from Hickory,NC. I have a 93 R1....Just wanted to say hi..and hopefully get to see and met some of Y'all and your cars...Did a few mods but still saving money to put more..

Cool, welcome to the site! What all have you done so far? How long have you had your car?

I'm located in Martinsville about 45min. away from Greensboro '94 rx7 by Peter Ferrell Supercars. Anybody nearby?

Well i'm in Wilmington, I usually go up to Raliegh and party every once in a while.

That's exactly what I was thinking..

I swear, ever time I come back to this thread someone else from NC pops up. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png I live in Bear Creek. I know, no one's heard of it.. but it's like 35-45 min. from Greensboro and about an hour from Raliegh. All depeding on how fast you drive.. Welcome all.

so is anyone going to the show in sebring

Sebring? When is it?

I've had the car for a year and a half...mods include..mazdatrix downpipe, high flow cat, racing beat catback, B&M short shifter, aluminum dash kit, autometer a/f & boost guage, 5zigen 17x8 front,17x9 rear rims, HKS front mount intercooler, K&N air filters, and manual boost controller.....still saving $ for more mods...

Sounds like a good start. I plan on doing some mods once I figure out everything I want.

Hey y'all. I'm from Wilmington too. I'm 94touring's neighbor. His car is sweet, mine's slow, he makes me jealous. lol. Whats up Dan? How ya been? How's the car doing? any news from Kannapolis (I havent seen it in your driveway lately)?



Stephen, nice to see a familar screen-name.
