Wow...the car ain't bad. But they pushed it waaaaaaaaaaay far. I am no mechanic, but something got simply torn apart in the engine bay. Could happen (and unfortunately does) to anyone.

Rotaries: No rods to throw, valves to bend, heads to crack.

Rotaries have a better reliability record at racing than most other engines. Although I suppose even a rotary would grenade using too much NOS, but the repair/rebuild would be much less expensive.

I was referring to the first guy's post....although i do think the rx8 could handle more NOS since it has less moving parts...and i wouldnt be talking about getting defensive fast on this board....

Real mature...i would never say the rx8 is..."ghey" whatever that means...i assume since it sounds like GAY thats what you meant...but i still think your toon conversions are really good

Correct me if I am wrong, the VQ35 used on the Z is already hyper-tuned, right? its kindda like the same thing that applies to the S2K engine...or no?

I share the same feeling man. I don't wish that to anyone. So warning for everyone: DON'T DO STUPID SHITZ TO YOUR CAR (unless you are a little multi-millionaire)

Would you simply zip it. No need to stir the pot again. Been there, done that...its of no use and you wouldn't like anyone telling you that about your car.

ZIP IT!

That would be me....I guess?!
I don't know squat about mechanics, so I don't know a thing about the 13B sucking up NOS willingly. But it hurts me to see ANY car being trashed like that...and to top it off: the guys seemed to be having a good time laughing at it: IDIOTS (or rich A-OLES)

I havent had a chance to watch the whole thing yet but from what I've seen (lots of broken parts) it is such a shame. I guess you have to bust some eggs to know the limits of all these cars, but man.... What they were doing looked like pure abuse. I would have taken that car and loved it like my own.

Why wouldn't I? You never whined about anything, didn't bother anyone (as far as I know) why does someone else have to bring your car down?

DISCLAIMER: I don't like it when someone else brings MY car down.

BTW..Dallas area.

Hey whatever, you ever had a Mac before? Well, i guess the people who know the 8 have probably never driven a rotary either. Ignorance may be bliss, but enjoying something kicks the hell out of it. have fun playing on your beige box!:p

"Oh well..."

The guy in the video says "Oh well..." to the parts of his engine scattered around the front end of his new car.

Wish I could afford an attitude like that.
