My RX7SP build up

RICE RACING · 12-22-2010, 03:13 AM

I have been into rotaries since 1992 (bought my first RX7) and in all that time I can say I have not till now felt content with a car and its set up. After taking the beast out for a drive now I cant do the typed word justice in trying to express how fucking awesome it is to have a quiet nice to drive rotary, that behaves beautifully, drives nice, and is fuel efficient and able to be filled up anywhere and driven over 900km on a single tank of fuel

It's a top long distance touring machine, something you just don't seen anymore with poofter fueled (E85 shitbox's) and rampant excuse machines that never do anything or go anywhere, except on tow trucks or trailers to the pusher (I mean workshop) for a undercover rebuild between BS dyno sheet postings or $10 plastic trophy battles of glory

It's not the most powerful car I have owned, nor by any stretch the fastest I have been tuned or developed for customers, but its by far the best all round package. It's smooth as silk, and one brief step of the pedal away its an animal all in one set up, the video's just don't do it justice as to how the nose lifts when you stand on the throttle in 3rd gear and at such low rpm......... and the sweeeeeeeet rotary noise through the SMB exhaust is sex.

Anyone who does not get to feel the rotary enjoyment all I can tell you is that if you work at it (never give up) and put in half as much work as I have you too can feel the love

No you see why I have very little respect for common "chassis dyno's" FFS the Dyno Homo Dynamics is meant to read much lower than a Dynojet! and it reads a shit load lower than a Dynapack, and I say and can prove that the figures coming of a Dyno Homo Dynamics are totally FICTIONAL! not represent by any form of reality!

My real power measure is on average 15% to 18% lower than the Aussie DD!!! but its REAL POWER!! not made up bullshit with all kinds of hidden factors in the calculations!!!! and it matches REALITY and other cars from real manufacturers and also basics to do with fuel usage, Volutmetric efficiency, thermal efficiency, and vehicle performance. My RX7 only has around 480bhp to 490bhp at my estimate at the current setting, that is what the engineering says......... not a worthless dyno sheet from some doctored estimating guessing machine.

It's no wonder NONE of the cars who sprout of dyno sheet figures can give matching acceleration proof compared to "real supercars" say like a Ferrari F40 that weighs in at 1400kg and only uses a ~480bhp engine power form of propulsion

: smash:

Dyno Sheets!

well done, man.

what you said there is what matters! setting all the commentaries, opinions, bashing and business rhetoric aside, THIS is what it's all about ... enjoyment. it sounds like you've achieved it and to me, that's worth more than any other claim one can make.

Well said

Have had a really great time over the holidays, just today she has had a chance to rest (back to work tomorrow

) covered around 2000km, today was fun slotting her back into 3rd and passing cars revs flaring and wheel spinning

at rocketing to 100mph, its a real beast, enough power on tap and its there any time, no excuses

Last week I went to go see a good friend of mine (150km round trip) *he is a local legend drag racer* we got out there, and he asked "can you take me for a drive?" now worries we went for a run... he was flat out impressed, said it accelerates harder than his drag car and best thing is its quiet and drives like stock. < Valued opinions from old boys like this who I admire mean more to me than most opinions as Its objective and holds value (coming from a person of note, an achiever not an internet dreamer!@), especially coming from a piston turbo man too

As I said to him, "the thing that is important to me is to drive wherever I want and go for a run like we did no excuses", no qualifications or preparation, no trailers, no tow trucks!!, no BDC style blow ups.

A road going rotary should be just that, a thing you can get in and drive it to your hearts content and enjoy all of the power you have any time any place, I love my car
