Quote from: Dr-Rotor;527114:evillaugh Im realy looking forward to doing it. Heres a few details on the supra. Its a 94 auto. It dose not have any internal work done to it. The build consists of a Single turbo, manifold, Link ECU, Larger injectors & fuel pump plus reg, cam gears, FMIC, some gauges and probly a few more bits here and there.
 
I dont know much about supras but my bro says the auto ones cant take more than 350kw @ the wheels before the auto box lets go. So his goal is 350kw or 470whp. It should be tuned on the same dyno as my FD was.
 
My low boost according to that dyno is 470whp. So I will be racing him on the low setting. My car weighed in at 1165kg with a 1/4 tank. So around 1300kg with me and a full tank. Supras are around 1450-1500kg. So he will need all the torque he can get.
 
Im very exited and cant wait to see what happens.
 
I love RX7\'s

Cool sounds like a good match :D Have you seen this video of a 600 hp 3-rotor FD racing a 750hp Supra?

I love the way boy racers dont even bother. If you were in a lowered ford iron, they would all be after you.

Main things i like about it apart from the looks, handling and performance, is the exclusivity of it. Fair play to other drivers choosing the evo\'s, skylines supra\'s and scoobies, but it\'s nice to be apart from the crowd. To be daring enough to chose a car where the engine needs a rebuild during it\'s lifespan. But the dividend\'s sure do pay off later on!

We will probly do it during the day. Night vids suck.

Quote from: FDAsh;527116Not sure, my mate took the pic and sent it to me.

It has what I\'m guessing are Spirit R badges, did they come with carbon splitters?

That was the one :D
Nope, plastic splitter - the thing that made me feel even more proud is that on the exterior, save for the spoiler, it was near identical to mine.
Bias aside, I can\'t honestly think of another car from the same era that\'s aged so well. Although to be fair, I suppose that generation of the design is from 1999.
