F&F revenge

[carly]

In the first fast & the furious, the DSM gets beat by an RX-7.
I'm sure this isn't always the case. Let's hear some stories.
Any of you guys kill a 3rd gen RX-7?

 

[fireredGST]

are u serious ? :laugh:

 

[bosljeff]

Ignorance speaking here:

IS it even possible? In theory, they have so much power they might not be able to keep a grip and then an AWD is great at launch but once the RX7 gets a grip it's all over, right?

Carly, do you know any RX7 owners? I do, and the one I know is a loser

(This thread is probably going to be moved by mods)

 

[carly]

Ignorance is true in your case Jeff!
:laugh:
And yes, it is possible. There are a lot of stock 7s out there and plenty of fast DSMs that want to race.

Most RX-7 owners are cool guys. You should feel lucky to know one!

fireredGST, yes I am serious

If the mods want to move this, fine, I'm just asking a simple question.

 

[TheTSiGuy]

Not too many REX owners around here.

But if i did, i wouldnt be scurred.

unless it was one of those crazy 600 hp ones. Then i'd be real scurred.

Hmm, I have a (kinda fast) DSM, you know any stock RX7 guys? Cuz I recently put some decals on and man did I feel my horsepower perk up!

You know you are talking abut a 420 with t66 tuuurrrbbbooo cold air intake NAWWWSS fogger system, a stand alone and enough naws to blow himself up period. Rx7 are faster than dsm stock for stock, they also suffer from bad stock turbos...but that doesnt matter that mod for mod theyd still be faster.

Well, maybe sometime carly and I should go out to a "safe location" and have a friendly run. (BTW all-Carl and I are friends, probably the only people from Po-dunk Idaho.)

Coolest DSMers ever too: husband-RX7, Wife-1st gen DSM. If that isn't a match made in heaven, I don't know what is. My gf just noticed her tires were bald, but I still love her.

Back on topic: I think the nicest 1g in Pocatello could give the only RX7 in Pocatello a run for its money...what do ya'll think?

 

[DSMeclipse4G63]

haha pocatello Idaho Ive been there! My aunt and uncle used to live there, we used to go to some hot spring place up there nice little town.

No kidding? Who (if I may ask)? The place you are probably thinking of is Lava Hot Springs. Pretty nice place to take significant other during the winter.

Yeah, that's Lava Hot Springs; very nice place to go soak.

Jeff, you ruined this post by mentioning the RX-7, now no one wants to tell their stories.

BTW, you sound a little optimistic.
You haven't proven that YOU have the nicest 1g in town, so maybe we should settle that first.
Also, I'm not sure, but I've heard there is another 3rd gen. RX-7 here in Poky.

 

[DSMeclipse4G63]

Yeah I went there right after seeing dantes peak so I was a little scared but it was definatly enjoyable.

Do you mean mentioning your rx? Trust me, people on this site won't hold back mentioning kills of cars just cuz someone has that same car. If you are genuinly , I'm sincerely sorry. If not I'll just assume you're giving me a hard time. Email and forums can make it hard to understand people's "tone of voice" so to speak.

Well, I don't mean that as cocky as it sounds, I just haven't seen one that anyone has cared to "tune" at all (not counting you guys). It is in decent shape when it comes to looks (yeah, some decals), but I am making an assumption regarding speed cuz I have yet to see a 1g "worked on" around here (again, not counting you guys-my only advantage might be the manual vs auto). I am opened to being humbled, honestly. So we should have a friendly "match" over by "the factory district"

No kidding? That would be cool. The newest are the 3gen right? The ones with the funky front and "back" doors?
Nice.



Everyone else: Don't post as I post, post as I say cuz I want to hear stories regarding carly's request: "Let's hear some stories.
Any of you guys kill a 3rd gen RX-7?"

Have a good Christmas all!!!

 

[eclipsegsx9797]

i know a few 7's and ive beaten all of them

 

[bosljeff]

Assuming they were as "not stock" as you, were they a challenge at all or were they pretty close?

 

[eclipsegsx9797]

the silver one i race, was on stock turbos, with fmic, fuel stand alone and all the other simple bolt ones and he ran a hight 13 with some problems i guess and i ran a low 12. as for the other two, one was almost stock little bolt ones and i beat him buy about the same on the street, and the other one was only buy about 1 car and he had alot of mod. not sure on all of them

Southeast: Pocatello, about 2.5 hours from you. You're right, though, very few around here. I only know of 4 total on this site (which includes you) that are near us and not in Boise or Northern ID.

We need to get a BBQ or something at the end of the winter and all go to Firebird raceway in Boise or the new 1/4 in Blackfoot if it is done.

 

[Ganja Man]

ya that would be cool to have a bbq or something. do you know when firebird opens up again? i just got this car about a month ago and i really wanna hit the track. give me your email so we can keep in touch.

 

[carly]

Nice kills eclipsegsx9797!

Jeff, the 3rd gen is the last RX-7, like mine. You're thinking of the RX-8.
I'm not mad, just didn't want any personal conflict in the thread.


Hey Ganja Man, we all need to get together this spring. Maybe we can find some more DSMers to come out of the "woodworks" here in ID!
Twin is actually only about an hour and a half from here.

rx7 are fast cars but.......
my friend is on his second motor on his second rx7:thumbdown

 

[sarge]

rx7's have no more potential than dsm's do, and they have more problems
