he needs to hide all my wires..he wants to do a clean job, that's why for him, that way is easier, so he can fix anything that he thinks that need to be fixed....he needs to fix my motor mount, and i need to talk to him about making my car
V-mount

Atpturbo.com is good hunt maybe some other forums maybe the subie forums i think they run gt35s on some kits. It was Omars caravan vid.

Steve are you set on a ball bearing turbo? I might have a friend with a GT3271 not sure if he still has it he had it rebuilt a couple months back but wanted to upgrade to the GT35

Interesting quote i found

"Many RX-7 owners don't like the RX-8 for having 4 doors and for weighing a lot more than the 7. Many also don't like the Renesis out of ignorance. They just don't look at the RX-8 as a pure sports car. Nevermind the fact that the RX-8 is faster than all RX-7s but the 3rd gen and can out handle ALL of them!"

QFT!

interesting at how ignorant parts of it are at least, the definition that even topgear uses of a true sports car is a 2 door 2 seater car thats quick and nimble around turns

the rx8 is not faster then all rx7s, i guess the OP forgot about the TII which in its final years was pushing around 220

and the renesis was a bad idea.....no matter how you put it, it was highly flawed for the real record that rotaries had, yes lots of engines blow on rx7's but the main brunt of them are turbo

when you have a similar failure rate as an FD, with far less power...n/a, theres a problem

i know you guys love the car, and its a great car for what it is, but everything needs to be taken into perspective, comparing a car from yesteryears to now is just foolish in itself since standards were completely different

each generation was an amazing handling car for its time, and things keep getting better throughout the years, im positive the next generation is going to handle even better, its progress

the whole comparing thing is stupid

especially when you really think about it...the best rotary car ever was probably like the rx3 or something, its sold the most out of all of us and thats really what matters for how great a car was
