pretty cool pix of your 8 there loren .

were you driving in that pic you took of the dash panel? if you hadn't been driving around for a little bit, then the temp was off. Snow doesn't start to show itself until temps are at 32Fº or below. on my trip to vegas w/my gf a couple weeks ago, i was driving through snow and temps were hanging around 30Fº up through the cajon pass.

i'm game for this . and for those of you who may have forgotten, my ride is all stock aside from the wheels.

Sounds like you guys had fun... sorry I couldnt make it. I was moving out of Rancho back to San Diego.
Buuuut! That doesn't mean I'm gonna stop comming up to the meets.

Maybe next meet I'll be up there!

toca

kwescott

come on now, we both figured out you have springs toooo...don't forget that

kwescott

very cool pics Lesper...keep track of those for when the time comes....too bad you couldn't find a field or something to go to when all that snow came down...all those other trucks kill the shot. The one with the bridge and the snowy tree is awsome.

speeddemon32

going old school!

KrazieKave

WOW
what is it? besides a rotary FB FA? FC?

definatly not an rx8 :P

kwescott

first mod for the new Rotorluution Racecar is to pull that "R&R" off the rear window and put a true Rotorlution Racing banner on the back....yah boy.

now that your true old skool, we're gonna have to call you speeddog32.

get that other one sold so you racecar can have a nice dry place to rest.

speeddemon32

R100
RX-2 (what I got... NO SMOG BABY!)
RX-3
RX-4
REPU
SA = RX-7 First gen 79
FB = RX-7 First gen (non 79)
FC = RX-7 second gen, like my race car, and Jesse's car
FD = RX-7 third gen, like scotty305
FE = RX-8


the FC can be broken up into Series 4, and Series 5. quite a bit of differance between the cars if you knwo about them, but if you dont, you really would not know the differance. Series 4 is from 1986-1988 Series 5 is from 1989 - 1991/

there was NO RX-7 produced (at least in the U.S.) in 1992.


Vipers can you add the the list at all?

SnowFl8k

So where does the truck fit in????

iTrader: (3)

i was going to say rx-3 so i was close, are you going to mod it to race or what? is it stock?

vipers

yeah...... most of that was right... but there were 1992 fc's in america though... but they were only convertibles..and there were very few of them made...basically rebadged 91's

and i think the SA was 79-80 and the FB was 81-85

also....there was

eunas cosmo (late 1960's through like mid 90's)

speeddemon32

Vipers, yeah but the cosmo was not a U.S. car. I was trying to stick with U.S. cars. because the FD went till like 99 or 2000, but I left all that out.

Snow, the repu is in the list. (REPU = rotary pickup)

Lesper, it is not stock. it has a 13b 6 port with a baby bridge. when running right it SHOULD run high 12's to low 13's in the 1/4. Just need to figure out why it is doing the EXACT same thing as my race car. the guy told me it was due to a broken peice in the carb. just need to figure it out.

kwescott

Uhhh, oh. Let me know when you need the garage monkey. He's caged up right now and is a little low on beer and Moutain Dew, but still ready to go.

But here's the real question, which Autox class would this fit in

speeddemon32

he he he, I want to go home right now and start working on it! I want to pull the carb apart to find this broken peice they speak of.

only mods to this car for a little while are free or really cheap mods (more like fixes rather then mods)

not sure which auto cross class.... but to honest I am not really interest in auto crossing it. thing drives liek a tank compared to the 8. when I drove it yesterday it reminded me of driving Jesses Dart. had all sorts of slop in the steering, Almost didnt stop, made tons of noise, windows didnt roll down, car shook over 30 MPH, fumes were comming in the car, no blinkers, headlights didnt work...... it was AWSOME!

kwescott

smoke away....cause it's legal that way

congrats on the car!
You're getting rid of your 7?

speeddemon32

yes

Detrich

kabura baby... if mazda releases this as a production rx-7 w/ a rotary, i think i'm going to cry. <lol> well, i'll sell or trade-in my 8 and cry all the way to the dealer to get one that is. :P

speeddemon32

i'm lost.....

FastRX8

Congrats on the new car.

Not sure if you've seen this, but a guy in Puerto Rico put a 20b in his 8.
Here's the thread.

There are pics on the first page, and videos on post #52,54,75,76, 438
Make sure to checkout the videos on post# 438, especially the last one breaking the tires in 3rd gear.


Here's a teaser pic

I think Detrich is trying to say that if Mazda puts a rotary in the new Kabura that he'll be jumping ship and getting rid of his 8.

speeddemon32

speeddemon32
