Everything else on the car is stock and should appear stock to him. He is not very knowledgable when it comes to FDs, so i think i'm in the clear.

Yes, i did own a Viper when i was living in NY. When i was living in NY i had an excellent job and rent was very cheap. I was a single guy as well so i had lots of money to throw around on toys. I also had an assortment of ATVs, Dirtbikes and several snowmobiles. I also owned a turbocharged 800cc 3 cylinder, 2 stroke snowmobile that ran low 8's in the quarter as well (converted for asphalt use). Sick of NY i came down here to pursue another job since the company i was working for up in NY was closing due to the economy(sad, but these are the times). I sold all my toys and paid off all my loans and debts. The RX-7 was already paid for so i kept that.
Anyways, the RX-7 is infact stock. With the downpipe on the car the boost would spike from 10psi to nearly 15psi. The factory ECU does not have parameters for this kind of boost, so i would have had to buy a stand alone engine management (around $1200) so that i could richen up the fuel maps, and since most stand alone's don't control boost, i would have had to shell out another $315+ for a electronic manual boost controller or just risk blowing my engine the next time it made full boost. Thats $1600 in mods right there just to cope with my boost spiking issue. It wasn't cost effective at the time because i just plain didn't have that kind of cash to drop so i had the shop take the downpipe off and put the factory one back on which they were nice enough to do free of charge. All of this info is already there and comes from the same place that Darren is quoting my threads from. He is just using them in his own context for his own favor.
Seriously, the night he and i ran, i looked him square in the eyes and offered to jack the car up for him to look underneath it because he was claiming i wasn't stock. If i were trying to "hide" a downpipe thats the LAST thing i would want to do because you would immediately see that the diameter of the downpipe piping is much larger than the cat and catback piping. I don't know what else to say to help you guys understand that i was infact running a full factory Mazda exhaust on the car. :burnout:
Still doesnt answer the question of you trapping 7-10 more mph than the fastest recorded stock time you could find. It reallly doesnt matter I guess. If you are modded you definitly wouldnt admit it at this point. I guess I never got into the street thing that much. I dont mind telling exactly what I run or what mods I have. Hell Im proud of the fact I can afford them!LOL.
Let us know what happens with the 2000. You dont see many down here and they never race.
Ive always heard the street scene was pretty good in charlotte. Some day Im gonna come up and check it out. Im a member at under ground so I know most of the hangouts. If I ever come Ill look for you.

I am bashing you by posting your mods? I guess you feel so, thats why I got banned from underground too eh? If this is bashing, its all in return favor. You did the same shit to me. :burn:

Hey ForceFed7.........I won't lie to ya, I have an 02 GT with a forged bottom end, most available engine bolt-ons, 4.10's, and 2 - 10 lb. bottles in the trunk that I'll PROUDLY show you that help me run a "conservative" 150 shot..........wanna run? Being you frequent THE ROCK, I'm sure to run into you several times over the summer. I just live a little ways up the road from you in Danville, Virginia. We can run for shit's-n-giggles!! BTW, that is a nice lookin' ride you have there.......take care of her. As for everyone giving you so much hell (hehe) you're just gonna have to deal with the fact that you'll probably never live this down.:whine:

instead of NOS any of u ever though of runnin like 8 cans of 20 gallon octane booster? just dont let ur car idle or it'll overheat but u can get to like 130 octane or greate about same as drag fuel and it'd be safer then running NOS in ur engine cause it kinda steals some life...
:lol: :rollseyes :nonono:

The RX-7 in this vid is definitely not stock, it has at least full exhaust, boost controller, bov, and probably intake. its not forcefed's car
