\'PORT IT! PORT IT NOW!!! MORE POWER, BWAH HA HA HAHA!!\'
glad to see everyone is seeing both sides of the issue, considering all angles and options.
It was probably a stupid question to ask on an enthusiast website, I mean how many people on here have standard Rex\'s?

lol, good point, although perhaps subconciously you knew this and knew posting a question like this would convince you to get it done...

Go on get it done , you\'ll regret it if you don\'t

Besides it wont be long before you want more power anyway , I thought I\'d be happy with the power mine had for quite a while but I must have had it for about a month before I started looking at things to do to squeeze a few more horses


Finally tuned - 317.3rwhp :burnout (thats 374.4fwhp for those who like bigger numbers)

To port or not to pot.  That is NOT the question.  Are you man enough - that is the question ;)

Shame it\'s bad news dan, these things happen.  Any recourse on the original owner?

If you don;t get it ported now you\'ll be limiting the potential power, depending on where you want to go in future...

Unlucky Dan ,

I popped a rotor about a month ago , however i had my rx for 2 years and its finnaly given in , however im well over the 60K area more like 70/75 so its had a good run.

Its a very sad moment when it happens but you know that once its rebuilt you have a warranty and piece of mind i guess.

Im going down the Street port and FMIC route as i allready have the PFC and stuff so it should be a bit better when i finnaly get it back on the road  :)

Am I man enough Iain? How can i say no to the porting now?! just hope the wallet can hold out.
As far as the previous owner goes, it seems he didn\'t get the ECU changed after running in as he would have been advised to do by pip at WGT, so that was his choice, and its my stupid fault for not comp testing it i guess. the recent rebuild reciept convinced me i had found a good one, when in fact i had not.
There is a lesson to be learned here, it doesnt matter what reciepts a car has, get some readings done yourself or you never know when it is going to bite you in the balls.

and even if you do you could still end up in trouble. You could have it comp tested with good results and the water seals give up on you in a month.

Buying a Rex is a risk. You can manage that risk but never eliminate it.

Wise man say:
"you want RX7 that not break? you no drive it"

I think i\'ll just put mine on a trailer and use my dad\'s mondeo to pull it between shows, it\'ll be the most reliable Rex in the world!

ITS COMING BACK EARLY NEXT WEEK!!!!
How excited am i? Answers on a postcard.

I\'ve been promised the car will be back in my clutches early next week, this has been the longest few weeks of my life! Can\'t wait to get a car back that is going to be about as reliable as a rex can be, with tens of thousands of miles of potential rotor exploding-free driving ahead! Woo Hoo!

Can we kick-off a poll mid-thread? We could list the types of port available for people to chose... street port, bridge port... any more?

Personally I wouldn\'t port it, but I just like to be different   :cool

Cheers
