Sweet, looks like the only major SP mods you're missing are seats and clutch/flywheel. Well, and 285/35R18s. :p Can't wait to see how much faster your beast is man.

More or less at the moment. I guess I need to get those 255/40 tires so I can lower the car a bit more :p
Here's a pic from before I had to raise it up.

If I "launched" (and I use that term lightly) from anything harder than a granny launch from a stop, I would rub in the back badly.

Yep, now I can make even more noise with a minimal hp gain. Long live n/a! :lol:
I bet they add more power than the high flow cat I'm adding. I'm hoping to see a little better spool too though. :)

2007-04-03, 09:55 PM
I've been sort of eyeballing the Rallitek PerfectPower6 ECU. . . it looks like that with a tune and high flow cat might net me a fair gain, from the testimonies I've been reading. . .

Niice. I just saw a friend of mine roll his fenders on his RX-7 by jacking up the car and then letting it down with a baseball bat inbetween the tires and the fender. rolled it around and pulled it out. It looks a bit fugly though.

Bob, Dude, you gotta work on getting a 20v, or I can tell you about a 3sgte that I know about.
You know I think a 20v would be to much power in that car, ideally I'm looking for 140hp. Maybe in the future, but in learning how to drive the car I'll start off with a good old 16v. I really want to do a Rotary swap.

There was once an F1 driver that told his engineer something to the effect of: "When the car will lay black rubber strips all the way from the exit of each corner to the entrance of the next, THEN the car will finally have enough power." Be like the F1 driver. :D
