If you are too ------- dumb to maintain your sports car don't trash it because the ------- thing died on you. The sky is the limit for rotories and at least RX-7 owners can use the motor it came with to push high horsepower. Most of these ------- civics need a spoon engine to even be considered fast. And if you can't get ladies in a RX-7 look in the mirror before you blame the car. So the moral of this story is the majority of you are ------- idiots who figures they are mario andretti because their 1600cc honda has a ------- light up exhaust tip. Who think they are ------- experts because they saw the fast and the furious 20 times and their pile of ---- rice rocket makes a pingy sound when it revs. So before you trash the rotary just remember this. Next time you get smoked by a RX-7 if it will make feel better it probably has half as much hp as you did.

Rotarys are superior because they are smaller and lighter and put out a ---- load of horsepower. Not to mention you can't touch a rotaries rpms. But if you have the I.Q of a wal mart cashier and no originality then rice rockets are the way to go. Step off the RX-7 its original, its cheap, and will out run any car for its price range.

A stock turbo FC will run 15 seconds witha ok driver. To do any mods, I mean any mods at all to a RX-7 FC, first you need a rebuild (cause the motors tend to be shitty after 30 000 on the odometer) the after the rebuild, you NEED a standalone(haltech is a good unit) then you can start working on it, you also need a new rad cause you car will overheat with any mods(or even stock) if you do exhaust or almost anything to the NA, you gotta wire the secondaries open, and if you do anything to a Turbo II, then you gotta weld on a new wastegate flap and port the wastegate.
not to mention the stock injectors suck ***, absolute ***, they leak, they cause the rx-7 to flood, and with exhaust/intake/port you need bigger injectors.

all FC have a 3800 rpm stumble, they all flood, one ping and you blow your apex seals, the elctrical systems in them are ------- retarded, they get HORRIBLE HORRIBLE gas milage, are expensive to mod, they overheat like crazy, you need a full standalone to do anything, top mount intercoolers suck ***, and the oil squirters in them are even more gay so if you want them to last in a high HP situation, you have to run premixed like in a 2 stroke. they handle like ----, are not easy to drift, and they are basicly heavy POS.

they basicly suck ***, I have never owned one but from what I've read on rx-7 club, and from what my geeky ricer friends have had happen to them, I am absolutely sure they suck ***.

also, The FCs are ugly as ----, the turbo 2 hood scoop ain't even in the middle of the hood, it just looks fucked up, also, you will not pick up chicks in one either, trust me.


Now people who put v8s in them, thats pretty pathetic if you ask me, they FC will handle like even more ---- with a V8, they will get better gas milage, be more reliable and pretty much be a better car then a stock FC, but you could have a way better/reliable car if you just stuck the motor in an old mustang/camaro/muscle car.

Well here's some news. I'm 16 and I own a 2nd gen, and I just finished rebuilding my own engine. Now how many of you can say that you've rebuilt your own engine at the age of 16? Or even have ever rebuilt one? Thanks. Secondly, you all act like a bunch of immature freshmen, talking with sexual slurs against anyone you have a conflict with. You wanna know why you talk like this? Because you don't have any solid foundation to stand on in your argument, so you end up bringing someone down with your elementary slander and making yourself feel good because you have succeeded in being a fool.

This is what it comes down to.
1) The rotary engine has a high displacement per liter
2) The rotary engine is cake to rebuild.
3) A honda piston engine usually outlives a rotary engine.
4) If you don't want to work on your own car and maintain it, and grow up by being slaughtered with bills from mechanics, then don't get a sports car. Get a bike.

I talked to my grandfather last night, who has never even drove a rotary engine powered vehicle, and he told me, "Just by the theory of the engine, it seems much more logical than a piston is. And the engine isn't just a theory anymore, it's real." This is coming from a man who owns over 50 patents, including industrial machinery patents, a sewer system patent, patents in carpentry, etc.

And in handling, the Rx-7 handles better than any civic out there(and I'm not talking about someone who's dumped 30k in their honda). You think you have a better handling civic? Let's see, most civics have about a 60/40 weight distribution. Rx-7: 50/50. And I know, the heavier front end for FWD. All the more reasons why an rx-7 is better in handling and drifting.

LoL go try to do so MaDD DrIfTiNG Yo in ya civic thug! Holla!

Secondly Turbo 2's run 14's all day long with an average driver.Not all FC's have the 3800 RPM stumble, out of the 2 i had they didnt, and its not caused buy shitty injectors or the 5th and 6th ports not actuating, its Cause buy shitty grounding for when the secondary injectors come on. It can easily be fixed. Also the flooding is not cause buy shitty injectors it is caused buy a glitch in the ecu and is only a problem is you turn your car off before it is done with its warm up cycle. An FC is no heavier then a integra and they dont handle like ---- they have a near perfect 50/50 balance. As for a v8 in a Rx-7,i love the idea. If a 5.0 mustang is dropped into a FC it will not greatly affect the handling, in fact it will weigh a lil less then a stock turbo 2. My N/A would run mid 14's all day on street tires and would dip into the 13's on the bottle. I have videos of some street races where i would beat the ---- out of pretty much everything out here
