oh yeah and the weight was written in BY HAND as 1280kg I wonder if the guy who sent it over wrote that but then mine is an early 92 model so maybe they hadnt printed that bit yet

RE Amemiya, if anyone could get option videos. this car is in video volume no. 98 june 2002, the RE fd beat like 20 other cars. 800hp gt-r, evo ..

 

isnt it funny how stupid street said its a big no no to put a white car on the front cover?but yet they had a big whote supra on the cover of last month that was okay to be on there?

 

Well, I'm not FD Okinawa(I'm way bigger in comparison, but I think I'm qualified to answer that. Me and FDOkinawa and Dragon are here as trained killers. Actually, we just work comms for the Army. Dragon's a paper pusher. Igy and Rutt used to be in the Marine Corps, but they got out and now work civilian jobs here. For me, I joined...went to basic and advanced training, then got stationed in Korea. After Korea, spent 3 1/2 years at Ft. Bragg then had the choice to get out or re-enlist....SO I heard of Okinawa as a choice of duty assignment, and told my Re-enlist NCO that if he didn't get me Okinawa, I'd get out...so he got me Okinawa. We LIVE, breath, drive, run, eat, sleep...EVERYTHING in Okinawa. Sometimes, we get to have temporary duty at different assignments, but in the end, we just come back to the rock.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I'm sure the rest of the guys will chime in on their stories.

 

they got that saying from another magazine. i read it some where else before.

 

Yea super street sucks. Someone mentioned they try to be like Option but they'd never manage to pull that off as far as content. Option has section after section testing out different products, settings etc. Super gay wouldnt even think about doing that in fear of pissing off some of their advertisers. Turbo mag. is probably one of the few cool ones left.

Correction**-the RE FD has 500hp.

 

yeah of course cuz it said 450ps.thats in a different measurement.put it into hp calculator and u come out with some bigger numbers.

 

Are you sure that it's 500hp and not 500ps. The reason I ask is that all the dyno sheets I've seen here say 423ps this 320 ps that. The units are very similar(Bar vs. Kilo's is an example), but not the same.

 

oh yea sorry, its 500ps@8krpm

 

so weres those scans?

 

A-spec, RE's FD reached the 57's over a year ago (maybe 2?). AFAIK, it still has the record around Tsukuba for a street car although the HKS Altezza beat this by about 2-3 seconds. Then again, it's a $250K pure racecar that they've loosely translated as a street car. Full CF tub front, cantilever coil over suspension, etc...

RE's car puts out 450ps running a TD06 (25G?). Several cars are RIGHT on their tail, most notably, the Axia Sports two-rotor (2 HKS GT28's) and as always PanSpeed and FEED. Axia's just the newest "real" challenger. I can't remember which Option video it was, but the RE car pulled a 58 which PanSpeed beat. They tweaked it a bit, went back out onto the track and pulled a 57. Many of the tuner cars in the challenge sported 300 more hp (if their numbers were to be believed) but couldn't come within 3 seconds of the RE car. Amazing.

I guess that all depends on what you consider to be street legal. Are we talking the fastest to 60, or top speed, or 1/4 mile. The fastest to 60 I believe is either the 1994 Dauer Porsche 962 Lemans or the Callaway Sledgehammer both hit that speed in about 2.6sec.
Top speed would have to be the Callaway Sledgehammer it topped at 254.7mph. And for 1/4 mile I guess that would all depend, I have seen and worked on cars that are in the 7's that drive on the street.

I love the FD, but that title is a little much. Especially with Juns Skyline over there. Or Veilsides for that matter.

 

The RE FD uses a TD07S-25G turbo. The car puts out 500hp for circuit duty.

 

They change their turbo like people change condom. They probably change the turbo already just to make everyone carzy

 

i wanna see more pics of re amemiya's 3 rotor cars.or even better yet any of japan's 3 rotor fd's.and pleez dont show me axia's again.

Why is this thread still up? I told ya we need a Japan forum...

 

check out a movie on kazaa called rx7 vs r34gtr vs nsx.... its a cool video that has these cars and 3 others race. It shows a good comparisson for them all.

 

Yep...FlyBye mentioned something about that video in a previous post. That FD Ruled the day...all FD owners REJOICE!!!

 

jspecracer7, go rip us some clips.

 

I've got the video downloaded. It's even got english subtitles!...but it's a very big file...

 

For you guys on Kazaa, look for this video:

Mazda RX-7 vs Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II (R34) vs Honda NSX
