You may have to give it a few minutes to be available or it may be ready by the time you download it, in any case enjoy and take care.

 

i like the progression in his times
car sounds good

 

FD > me

 

nice vids..

 

Thank you guys. I respect Evos, man they are fast for the price. I am working on improving this white car and building a faster silver one. I like simple mods and daily driveability. Peace.

 

Yep, that's got my measly 12.0s beaten. I thought I was gonna be close until that last 11.53. Nice launch on that run. That video was a good lesson on how important 60's are...

 

My 60' was 1.88 on my best run (11.53) I was running 255/50/16 BF Goodrich drag radials inflated to 13 psi. I did a BAAAD 1st gear only (!) burnout that produced no smoke. Then I had very bad wheel hop but I did not let off like in the low 12 sec rus. I plan on switching to ET streets and my burnout + lauch needs work to get into my potential low 11s. This car does not have 10 sec power in it with 410 rwhp @ 15 psi. Glad you were able to download and liked the vid.

 

That was awesome. Props to the RX7... now only if I could find one in so cal...

 

I've always wanted an FD. I almost got one a year ago, but I couldn't justify only have 1 car that I would be worried about breaking down all the time.

 

they're awesome until they break.

 

nice runs, congrats on all the wins

 

Very fast indeed!!

 

Thank you. I am not particularly concerned about the car breaking because all it takes is a little bit of being familiar with the rotary and the right parts and tuning to make it just as reliable as any other high pefrormance car. All the people that have blown their rotaries were missing one or more of those 3 things. It's sad but that's the way myths get started..... Take care

 

it might be true that having all the right parts and the right tuning and the right etc. etc. will make the car just as reliable as any other performance car, but statistically, it sure as hell seems a lot harder to get these "factors" in line for this particular car

 

You are very right, it is harder to get everything right with a rotary. I don't know, maybe the reason could be that they have only been around for 40 years as opposed to over 100 years for pistons, or maybe that in all that time only 1 company offered it and only in one of their models (the rarest). In any case, the end result is lack of general knowledge and as you can see, myths and rumors abound. That's why there are so many problems. In addition to a Mazda rotary being the only import ever to win the 24 hr LeMans, I offer you these 2 videos to make you own judgement of the reliability. Note that on both cars, the engine was already blown, and the coolant cap missing. Enjoy, I know I didn't
