Actually, I do believe it was in Norwalk. I can't really remember. I just remember catching a ton of shit for wearing an rx7club hoodie to a 3800 supercharged meet, so I spent more time on my laptop than hanging out with the guys. lol

I'm just interested in a bunch of odd things, like rotaries, or flat sixes. lol. I have nothing against piston engines at all. If I were more a gearhead than I am an engineering fan, I'd almost consider dropping a ecotec into an FB or something of the like. Ecotecs are some really amazing engines, but meh, doesn't move me at all. The fact that rotaries took/take so much engineering to get them to function for as long as they do is enough to make me lust after them more than anything else. lol And boxer engines are just straight up cool, haha.

All that was done was a pulley upgrade and fender well intakes on every one of them, with a tune. I'd think about what happens when the engine gets modified before sticking it into a car.

I have a GTP with the L67 supercharged motor. Great car, super fast for a 4 door. I haven't modded it though, thinking about trading it for an RX-8.

I absolutely love my Rx8. Great car, and tons of fun. My only real complaint is the obvious bad gas mileage. I actually had to spend about eleven hours in it yesterday, and the comfort was good the entire time. It isn't the quickest car in the world, either, but it has enough speed to be fun for sure.

i dont know if its been sed yet but i was thanking about puting a vg30dett in one a wille back just a slightly moded motor

djmtsu 07-15-2008 07:14 PM

That is a pretty wide block to put in there. I think it has been done though.

I wish I had money, I would put either an E36 M3, or an E39 M5 BMW engine in one.

Torquey and flat power.
