Title: Power
Post by: head-worx on May 16, 2005, 08:47:24 AM
Hi Guys, am new on the scene.

Finally.......my woman has said yes.......after all my pleading.........to let me get the RX7 i\'ve been hanking after for a few years.

Question time though: Did the RX7 come with different BHP ammounts from the factory?

I\'ve seen several adverts saying that the car is standard. They are saying 255, 260 and 280 bhp? Enlighten me - knowledgable ones - how much power have they got in standard form?

Cheers

:confused:

uk cars(not many arround) were slightly lower power..most avail are jap imports at approx 280bhp most can with the addition of a power fc ecu and exhaust air filter be approx 320bhp more than enough for a start after that ur wallet is the only governing factor mines at 418 but with water and remap soon shd be about 480

So jap import it is then. I should be able to wipe out my friend who has a S14a at 270bhp then - thats good. (at the moment i am driving a V6 Omega!!!!!!).

Thing is i dont want to do very many mods as i am only 25 and when they are all declared - my insurance will be rude.
