That is debateable to roll around or go down the block maybe anything more and I'd say probably not, 30+ year old stuff? Hell mine don't even have all 4 shock working or working correctly (my next major project). And it will not like the weight addition on stock. To get her back and low in the bay alot of measuring and pre-planing check out our V8 section to may help inspire you a bit.
|
I was reading grannysspeedshop and this is what they say on distribution.
Even if you choose not to balance the car, your distribution will still be better than stock Mustangs and Camaros. |
Is that with their install kit? If so then awsome, what I am mostly getting at is that extra weight will not along with the tired stock parts and they won't last to long. When you get the suspension ready to go I'd do the brakes too.
|
I dont think the stock springs in the front would be up for the task. They have pretty low spring rates, as they were designed to support a relatively light front end, and offer reasonable ride comfort in factory trim. By adding a couple hundred pounds up front ( and will also likely be offset even further to the front due to size) I think the springs would be overloaded and the vehicles balance would be iffy
|
^This right here is what I was trying to say, and again if it's factory it's old and tired any way no to replace it than while it's already down.

Hey guys pretty new to the seen.
Spell check, like fire, is a fine servant but a terrible master. Physician, heal thyself. Else be pronounced nubcake of the month. Further help for your condition:

Any one with a little more mechincal skills that can teach me something about these cars.
First, it's "Anyone." Second, this is what grammarians call a "Sentence Fragment." You can research that on the internet. Probably. Third, is is spelled "mechanical."

Excuse me, but wouldn't that be true of you with regard to Mr. Farrel? So aren't you vacating your own argument when you try to point out his ignorance of you as a failing when you have proved your are at least as ignorant of him? Yes, you are; that was a rhetorical question. You can look that up too.

Maybe you should head over to that forum since civic owners have bad grammar too right?
But more to the point, YOU are the one who decided to bring grammar (actually spelling, but I suspect you're not too clear on the difference) into this... so isn't it sort of counter-productive for you to try to insult someone by making a crack about him being a possible grammar nazi? (That was also rhetorical.) <-- those are parentheses; caution, advanced language users only! In closing: :lol: |

You guys are acting like I am the first person who's ever done this. Just because your car is sitting on stilts, and has the stock little lawnmower motor in it doesn't mean people dont have different taste. And obviously I dont care about performance, or I wouldn't be buying a 1st gen RX7 and putting a 5.0 in it.... If I did at the very least I'd go with an FC and put an LS1 in it. Everyone is just so quick to bash rather than find out the details of someones ideas, mostly how it works in the real world too.

... Doosh bag. I shoulda hit "submit reply" and never canceled my 2 cents earlier today. You just want an image. Clearly your still 16 and just looking for even younger kids to ride your nuts at the local hip-hop-hippity burger joint on Friday nights. Who cares how much you know about a particular motor. This car is not a mustang and its not going to act like one for you. Your plans for the car make no sense. |
Yes. Yes, and Yes. Anything else?
|
Look I understand where you guys are coming from, it's not your thang. Make fun of my grammar when I mess up, and I'll make fun of his when he messes up. I saw his post count, what does that mean? I understand, if someone came onto a Mustang forum I visit talking about putting their car on bags and dropping a twin turbo 2JZ in it I'd be laughing and flaming too. Maybe you guys are just too old, but the fact is I didnt ask for your opinions, I am just a little older than 16, maybe not as old as all you guys who bought these cars when they were coming off the showroom floor but I can turn a couple wrenches. Sorry if you sweatin' my style bros.

I'm 25 and no I am not an RX-V8 fan but, hey if done right they ain't to bad. I don't flame unless it's deserved and myself and others have tried to give you good info and in all serriousness you my want to go the the V8 section and ask aswell. The old timers will give you hell till can either take a joke or leave. Remember the inerwedz ain't that seirous. We will try to help you though.

Good man and remember to read a few build threads, they have more info than you'd think.
You should make one to, show us what you are doing and we will stear you in the right direction, don't be offended if it looks unsafe you we be told bluntly however. Your prior experience is going to be useful for doing the drive-train and suspension the rest is on your fab skills. It will be one off many simmilar but none the same. If you listen you will learn. And you are welcome I try to give back where I can as I have learned alot here. |

So you start off by pissing on the shoes of exactly the kind of person who has the info you need. Brilliant. Considered politics for your career choice?

Think you got off on a very wrong foot? Yeah... You might want to see to that. |
Ok cool, I will be sure next time I join a forum to kneel down before all the people with old join dates and high post counts so that I will be accepted and able to ask questions. Yea right, if you dont want to help then dont answer, its that simple, I was never rude, and treated people with as much respect as I received from my first response. Im not some bitch and not gonna take shit from old RX7 owners like you who think they're tight because they run a website. Get out of my thread, I got the info I need from people who were willing to help.
Go ahead, ban me, just remember my name cause when I finish dropping the motor in, I'll send you a pm just to show you how riced out my car is broooo. |

Lol oh yea? What bolt on's do you see? A trickflow intake? That's it. I keep it simple, you cant tell me what shortblock I got in there, what heads I've got, what cam, what kind of headers, you cant even tell me what type of damn valve covers are on that car. I keep my shit clean, looks stock, but you could wipe your ass with how long the mod list is, and I'm not talking about no MSD spark plug wires, and APC stickers.

any internet badass can brag about what people can't see :rolleyes: post some receipts, and a dyno sheet while you're at it ;) |
ay yai yai....
Go with Re-Speed coilovers if you still can...ive heard of customer service issues as of late.... or it sounds like maybe the FC subframe/suspension swap would perhaps be more in line with your needs, so research that as well.. What a mess this internet becomes... . |
RxTex, I feel you on the mess, this went south fast.

Please make note of MPH and 60' time? I know you rx7 guys probably dont make it out to the track much...
No land speed records but for an N/A 5.0 I really have nothing else to prove to you guys. Attachment 685558 |
Thumbs up for the proof, I stand corrected. Impressive times.
|
Not bad on the slip or fox body clean old-school not a fan of white though looks like an
undercover to me. Stick or auto w/line lock. If you re good with v8 why not try a rotary, just sayin, these little cars are great when rotary powered quick and nimble. |
Ha ha ha. I was going to join in, not because you sound like a ricey kid, but rather because you come right out the gates talking about ripping the heart out of a rotary. Sickens me. Yeah, whatever, do it if you like, but how about picking up a roller or something that someone has parted out and actually SAVING a 7 instead of ruining (my opinion, shared by many) and dropping a pistoned heart into it.
Most noobs hang out awhile, take some time and do a few searches to find the info, THEN start asking questions. It's too early to start running for NOTY 2013, but you started out strong. Keep it mellow and realize you're not on Nopistons, we're here because we love rotaries. I can't wait till 2017 to see how many fanboys surge back to this forum when the new 7 comes out. |
