direct freak, how much power do you plan to pu down. your setup looks pretty hardcore.

im shooting for around 300 on the street with 93 and around 375-400 with 100

 

On pump gas, 350-400. I don't anticipate needing more than 15lbs of boost. My Turbo is pretty decent sized, and good for over 600hp if I ever decide to go for real power.

 

nah its all looks. thats a fake plastic ic and hes going to have one of the fake bov's that makes a woosh at the push of a button.
df's car is hardcore you are correct. can you say widebody boys and girls?

 

No, that's too much work. I am just going to connect a loud speaker to a microphone, and then make pssshhhhh!!! sounds with my mouth.

 

im going with the bnr stage 3. I beilive it is capable of 400-425.

 

haha and then you can make the sounds of it spooling up, only to be interupted when you whistle at hot chicks

 

**** man, no offence but the shop I work at has a name for that, it's cald Hack Job. If you dont have the resources, i understand. but to make a nice bracket set all ya need is a little metal flat bar and a drill, plus a hammer to bend it all.... I guess if thats the way your car is though.... do you use garden hose as coolent line and a sock as a gas cap? Just kidding props to your inginuity!

 

A hack job completed is a penny saved. Thats what Ben Franklin really meant to say

 

I'd rather spend two pennies and not have my car look like I built it in my backyard - - Even if thats where I built it.

 

Hey "Watch_This" take it easy man. Who cares what it looks like under the header panel.

Here is what my setup looks like

 

hack jobs is what modifying your own car is all about.

hey, my fog lights are duck taped on.

 

Maybe I am slow today. First you insult me, then you give me gredit.

To this day, I haven't welded one thing to the car or the frame at any point. Techincally, my project is still a "bolt-on".

So,are you saying it looks like I built it in my backyard?
Your opinion is your opinion, and you're entitled to it.

 

Wow, someone is being a little jealous of the setup? Dont mind it Alex, I think it looks good, of course I used the flat metal bar, a drill and a BFH... I think yours looks better

Everyone laughed at my IC piping but the ******* work pretty good, good enough to waste some cars with v8's

Its fun letting them leave the line a little early, and then I punch it in 2nd and go to 3rd and get sideways LOL

1st gear in my car is useless anyways Its like gas, bam 35 mph and its way into the redline

 

so what kinda mods you have? and wheres the pics? timeslip maybe?

 

there are a lot of newbies talking a lot of **** lately.

 

It is my opinion that a level of quality should be upheld, no matter where you mod at or with what. I know guys who fab everything in their garages at home and have nicer looking cars/engine compartments than guys who spend big $$ for Shops to do their work. And as far as time slips, etc, I have a bone stock RX. Also- newbies have a right to talk **** just like the old timers do -I wasn't trying to offend anyone.

donot bother with this shumc. he does not understand, nor know the respect that you guys deserve.

 

who really cares what it looks like if its fast, course you can rice your car if you'd like. but its nicer to have a fast car that didnt put you completely in debt..

i have never done anything to my RX, that is true, however I have done far too many custom jobs on high doller cars to list - Vipers, BMW M5's, Porsches, Lotus, and even the occasional ferrari are just a few. Here is one car I did most of the work on -

no, I don't have a modded RX-7, but I do have enough background knowdge about what it takes to judge a car owners craftsmanship.

Well not to call this or anything, but I used to work as a car stereo installer, I was one for over 12 years. I have done more exotic cars than I want to remember... I actually worked on a f-40, which thats one of those cars that the 1st person with a million doesnt get Personally I dont find working on exotic cars any thrill at all..

*Edited by Acuspeed*

 

Oh and I dont consider a bolt on kit hardly a mod

Let alone it be a s2000 that is FAR from an exotic car...

 

The s-2000 Just one of many cars I have worked on, I posted it to show what quality work looks like - what do you consider a mod then? Hows about a viper motor in a dakota pickup? Of building 600 hp street rods from the chasis up? Or a 10 second drag civic? Cause I have done them all.

Watch_This

Just so you know, i'm currently collaborating with Directfreak, Mike-p28, RICE racing, and Rob Golden of pineapple racing, preparing for a turbo setup on my car.

I have been casually researching rotary performance for about a year now, just by gathering info and knowledge from both internet and rotary shops.

One thing i have learned is, if someone has a very powerful car, and made it themselves, they know where its at. These guys all have very VERY powerful cars. Dream cars, super cars!!! I trust every word they say.

You wanna know how much hack jobs i have in my car?

So long as it gets the job done, and gets it done reliably, then who cares?

For instance, my hack jobs: putting 6x9 speakers in the rear stock location, 5.25" speakers up front, silver guage faces (mounted the control switch into the dash w/ a hack job), hack jobbed center console, hack jobbed tail lights, and my future hack jobs include:

Turbo exhaust mani,
IC pipng, front mount IC
Haltech ECU

You know what, my main source of info is Directfreak. He's helping me out. I trust his word 100%. He knows his ****.
