*cough* Normally aspirated... *cough*

- Love the front lip though, very nice.

*cough* naturally you mean *cough*

 

[AltF8]

Uh...yeah, that too.

*thought they were interchangeable*

 

[Boost Lee]

"un-naturally aspirated".

 

[AltF8]

Wow...that's...odd. I think that's the largest wastegate I've ever seen.

The car put down over 500whp.

Pimp? Indeed.

It made 20whp (40whp in the mid-range) more than the "*best manifold on the market". (*JG Turbo manifold) The air intake temps were also 20 degrees lower than JG's.

16psi = Low boost. Who said an import can't make power?

 

[AltF8]

I'd like you to meet my friend, torque steer.

 

[mr_pushrod]

Enough to break your wrists I would imagine, lol.

 

[Boost Lee]

Bah! Not me, my wrist's are plenty strong!

 

[SupraFly]

Best. Reply. Ever.

Sorry Monster7, but you have to admit that was funny.

 

[Boost Lee]

Thats why I said "my" wrist's.

I guess the sarcasm doesn't get picked up over the internet.

Mike Mirandas SW20. The dopest MK2 I've seen in a long time..
(Old pictures) The car now rolls on 18 inch Volk SE-37A's.

For those that say this car is "rice" keep in mind that it is/was sponsered by Apex'i, and it was a shop car to show what SPi is capable of doing. (Hence all the graphics.)

I eat rice, I don't post pictures of it.

3. I'd rather have a nice stock Vette that would probably cost les than some of these ****mobiles.

Can you're vette do an 8 minute lap of the old Nurburgring? Quater Miles arent everything handling is much more important.

Yeah, I'd love to see the turbo lag on that hunk of junk. I'm sure it would be great in the turns as well. That Nitrous Oxide wouldn't destroy the engine either. Plus the vetter looks better, and would last a hell of a lot longer.

Besides, I could get a mid-80s Vette for about 15 grand and pump 7 grand into as well.

Sorry for all the disruption, I wont' make another post in this thread.

EDIT: I'll move to Germany, so I can IMPORT the vette so it will be relevant to this thread.

----------------

I await your witty response.

Great work there turbo lag? thats teh best you can come up with? You could have atleast said the seals on the rotary engine would die... Its just you dont get that much turbo lag when your doin 6 grand starts... Oh and as for handling last time I checked the RX-7 had ****ing incredible handling considering its weight... You... are a ********...

Considering it's weight? All 3 generations of the RX-7 are obscenely light...

What can I say? I jerk off with both hands.

And the silver box on the MR-2 is an Apex'i Super AFC. It allows you to tune the air-fuel ratio.

Apex makes whats called a RSM (Rev Speed Meter) that looks almost the same, and shows your vehicles speed and rpm's.

I think it's a different shade of blue then the SCC hatch. According to AJ's page, it's an NSX only available in Japan. But it's pretty damn close to Captiva Blue Pearl for me.

nice pics all people, this thread and the knowledgeable people who contribute with it (specialy punk rock, wheter he knows it (and wants it ) or not) have turned this hot rodder into an "import rodder" too. I now apreciate these little pieces of cars as much as a blown 32 Ford. thanks.
