Man I hate rotaries

[falcon]

Howard Coleman is the only person on the internet, who`s opinion I will believe without any facts backing it up. If he says it`s good (or bad)... it is.

The amount of information he has spewed out over the years being on that forum is immense.. from AI injection, turbocharging and suspension tuning just to name a few.

howard coleman is the man!

He's the whole reason I'm running meth injection in my GTR.



rotors > *. my bone stock 4000lb 20b cosmo (luxury car!) would put a whooping on half the skylines on this forum.


Also that quad rotor car sounds amazing.
IMO 13b's don't sound the best but who cares? Hard to beat them for cheap horsepower.

As far as reliability goes they outlast most RB26's on average, and cost less to rebuild than what most of us have into a set of wheels.

[falcon]

I can agree with that. A lot of the aftermarket exhausts for RX7`s sound like ass with a 13b. But 20b`s and 26b`s are wicked. That RX8 in the beginning sounds awesome.

Put it this way, my fully rebuilt shortblock capable of 500whp cost me $2850usd without a core charge. Yes... all the parts.

The halfbridge in my FC that went 11's cost me $1200 with a core. <3 rotars.

Not being a **** but how long will it last falcon? or are you going to run meth/alc injection?

[falcon]

Water injection. And it will last.. the problem my last engine blew was because of my own impatience. I hadn`t had the car tuned as I was waiting for the funds to come together for an IC and rad setup (stock wouldn`t have cut it on the dyno) and drove it on the base map. Big no-no since I was running a big single VS. the small stock twins. More airflow + street ported engine + driving uphill with load + boost = boom.

With a proper tune, WI, not running insane amounts of boost and keeping it under 400whp there is no reason the engine should last the length I own the car.

really?

are you just trying to **** stir to try to get me to reply and into an argument?

1) You don't like them because they sound bad
- This is the worst excuse I've ever heard as to "why you don't like them"
2) You haven't driven on
- So you're comment is invalid, IF you would ever drive one you would realize it's a superior engine in drivabilit/smoothness (when running correctly) to almost anything else out there aside from V10's/V12's.
3) You just don't like them
- Nice... way to support your argument with GOOD HARD FACTS!

haha
no man. I wasnt trying to stir you up.
1_is a legit excuse. refer to brussel sprouts example
2_im sure they are fun to drive, I bet I would love a ride in a high hp rotary
3_i dont have an argument. soo...

I'll meet you at the track when my RX7 is all done and you're eat your words .

That would be sweet man. Nothing better than a rx7 skyline battle.

btw, anyone knowwat rims mad mikes running on his quad rotor? i think theyre lowenhart but im not sure

Wed Kranze...

I wrote an article on the car but can't remember the specs. 20x10 and 20x13 or somthing stupid...negative offset of course.

I liked it in the digi-cam scheme before and it was the most sexy RX7 I've sen in person period. Not to mention an engineering masterpiece.

So whos princess zelda and whos link? :P

[ObsessedGtrKid]

I was waiting for Falcon to come in here and start shutting people down on stupid opinions :P seeing how everytime something about an RX-7 on this forum pops up he's in there lol.

[RHDskyline]

Because he is the most well known one on this site who owns a rotary/rx7

He is very knowledgeable about them

[Terrh]

glad I'm not the only RX-7 defender LOL
