Confession of a Ricer...RX7 versus fox 5.0
- Thread starter RoadZOmbie
- Start date
Very well. I'm drying my eyes as we speak
that rx7 guy is a local here in charlotte....I have heard soo much shit over that race..LOL
who cares if the 5.0 did or didnt spray... he couldnt find it so it must have not been there.
Re: in case...
Uh, thanks? :lol:
I'd like to get some vids and recent timeslips of the car since the boost issue has been resolved, but thats not possible anytime soon. The car has a pretty bad oil leak that needs to be repaired first and i just don't feel safe taking it to the track the way it sits now. Besides, if the car were to leak any oil onto the track it might be dangerous for other drag racers as well and i don't want that on my conscience. When i get my oil leak fixed i'll be sure to get video and timeslips for you guys. I honestly can't say what the car will run, but from my experiences and seat-of-the-pants i'd wager somewhere very south of 13.5, ET-wise.
p.s. -- Yes you and several others did mention it. I've got to go to the store now and get more Kleenex. :lol1:

Haven't we all? It was so bad that there were posts on Underground from members asking that the topic not be brought up when going out to Sat. night meets. :-D
hahahahahahahah, i'm surprised he didn't do a fly by to make himself feel like a winner.
Quite the contrary. I had to slam on the brakes because i was coming up on traffic rather quickly.
I don't do flybys. I don't rev at people. I don't turn on my hazzards. Riceboys do that. I am not a riceboy. I respect all things fast whoever makes it. I've owned a 00 Viper RT/10 a couple years back and loved the car. I had a few gripes with it but nothing major. Here's a pic:
In the pic i had just taken the cars out of storage from the winter months. Thats why there is about an inch of dust on the cars
Bad enough that someones crying over the subject got my thread on the Underground deleted, when I posted your mods......and got me banned so I couldnt defend myself. We all know what the truth about all of that is, well besides the fact that you lost and the whole nation has now seen it thanks to my buddy Mike (FoxStangGT- editor of the video), and thanks to Roger and Rico for hosting it on a few different servers. I guess I won twice.

Replacement downpipes for the RX-7 are polished stainless steel. They look like this:
Like i said, you would have seen something that shiny from the top of the engine bay. And why anyone would want to "coat" a stainless downpipe is beyond my comprehension.
The one thing i learned from this race is that you can't trust the Mustang crowd
So you, the allmighty know it all about FD's, are now basically calling yourself a liar? Come on Darril, use your head little buddy.
That was posted here..

And here is a freezeframe of that thread in case Darril gets edit happy....

Un fuqing believable!
Let me guess it looks just like the one you have now right?LOL.
The guy you mentioned. Kevin...something. He ran a best of 13.3 @ 103 stock. You on the other hand pull on cars that turn 107-108 and you're stock. So I guess that puts you trapping around 110-112? You sure you dont wanna rethink this whole thing?
No matter. Good luck with the S2000. I guess after the race when he thinks you lied about mods he will learn to not trust RX-7 drivers.LOL. Funny how this street thing works.
Oh and no flame intented. Just busting your nuts. Ive always liked that model 7. Very good looking IMHO.

*sigh*
LXative you just can't let this go, can you? Like i said, the factory downpipe is on there. It's not powdercoated grey, it's the worn out factory exhaust complete with factory precat and everything. But hey, tell yourself what you have to. I already told you the reason why the downpipe is NOT on there. The boost was spiking and i didn't have the money at the time to properly address that. I guess for people like you it is hard to grasp that.
Anyways, i've since moved on. Now it seems like YOU are the one who is holding onto this thing. Let it go dude, the race happened forever ago. You won. If you are going to continually bash me in this thread too then i won't respond to it anymore, like all the other threads you have dirtied up. I guess you truly are the "filth". :lol:
