Nope .... Muskegon sucks for haveing any amount of fast cars. I would love to race another almost stock c5 But everyone that owns a C5 is 65 or older and they never push it past the post 70mph limit :nonono:
hell yeah it does! well maybe someday we can run into each other again and have some fun.

Take it easy on the ricer thing; remeber Ford owns Mazda and it has 0 affiliation with any Japanese company. I agree with the other guy. A ricer in my opinion has a gaint carbon fiber whale tale and 5" exhaust with a stock single liter motor, however, you have to give some kudos to these guys who can run with a v-8 using a small inline 4 setup or the rotary you ran on this video. Personally I would never buy a japanese car but live and let live man. Also, that single turbo wankel motor you ran on that RX7; you could pick it up with your own arms, they weigh less than 150 pounds.
Thank you. They are fun to drive thats for sure.
Granted it would take a shit ton to get it to the HP range that your in with bolt-ons. Thanks for the compliment.
Nice kill
Yeah it sucks that 90% if not more of the import drivers out there stick a muffler on there car and think it should run 12's. It deffinitly gives import drivers a bad rap. I have been stereotyped many times and just talking to the people who stereotype me makes them think differently.
Granted I have seen some riced out domestics but it is NOWHERE near the amount of imports.
Hey not a problem. I used to be a rotary mechanic at an RX-7 shop for two years, and nice ones didn't come by frequently. I had mine with a ton of goodies, 4.375 rear end, cartech water/air ic, Greddy turbo kit, racing beat full exhaust, HKS filter, MSD, ported 3mm motor, shocks and sway bars, HKS PFC-F-CON, Greddy boost controller, etc. And yes, it did put the hurting on pleny of vettes and stangs, actually my first kill with the Greddy turbo was a new C5 the first year they came out. At times I miss it, miss the stratospheric redline, the turbo spool, the handling, and the flames out the exhaust! I don't miss the lack of low end grunt (life didn't really start until 5500 rpm till 9000rpms) and the tricky launch (spin or bog). It was a VERY light car, it had the stock interior and it weighed in at 2565 lbs at a truck scale. But I think my Cobra 10th more than makes up for the void.... ;-) . Anyways, if I ever own one, I will definately drop a 20b in it no questions asked.
Damn that sounds like a NICE ride. I was thinking of doing the 20b swap and it still might happen but I just got the block rebuilt like 6 months ago at Rotary Ressurrection(Kevin Landers) so it now has a large streetport with 2mm, T04b hybrid and many other goodies. So I was thinking of just getting a To4E, Greddy FMIC, 1600 secondaries, Walbro, Haltech or Microtech
Then if the new motor goes........20B. But if I find one for a decent price thats blown up it would be very hard to pass up.
Cool, that is the same exact turbo before the Greddy. I would go ahead and get the Walbro and do the relay fuel pump mod to provide constant power to the fuel pump if you haven't done so. This will prevent the voltage from going down and lower then chances of running lean.
Yeah I have the stock FD pump rewired right now. So the walbro install wont take long at all Are you near Gotham racing at all? I was looking into the Greddy 20g turbo kit. Is that the one that you had? If so what kind of power was it making because I cant find much info on it at all. I would guess around 375 with supporting mods

I talked to him about a month ago. He's working on a 20B for his FD. I had the Greddy TD06SH kit which I think was rated at up to 400-450hp.

I think you should just buy this car and be done with it :beer: :-D http://www.zo6vette.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49022&highlight=rx7
That's a nice one. That's where I used to work, Alamo Rotary. No way I would pay more than 10K for an FD (3rd gen RX-7). You could get one for around or less than 10K with a blown motor and build it up for way less than a total of what this guy is asking. And the dumbass wants to sell the car but keeps modding and upping the price... DUH
Well I should drive down there so I can have him tune my car
