Fast fd !

[RICE RACING]

Thanks very much boys, and steve I got all the files just now, I'll process and post them inc your power request tonight my time.

Keep up the great work with testing, and this will grow very quick

I love the list, but we need to get a few modded supercars on there to see what the insane power looks like. There are plenty of TT lambo's and Ferrari's around (underground racing, and about 4 other companies specialize in them).

[RICE RACING]

I can throw in one or two I guess, just have to keep it in perspective, I want to keep the list to FD RX7 road cars (for obvious reasons of comparison ability and validity) so pretty much the only variables are how much power you have in reality and the spread of your power curve (in the 90kmh to 140kmh test in 3rd gear).

We also need to remember the majority of cars are little 2.6lt *equiv* 2 rotor rotary engines, compared ti many more cubes and multiple turbo's off cars that cost 10 times more in price. I have a few reference "super cars" up there, but dont want to spam it too much with all kinds of stuff that makes it hard for people to follow etc.

I could easily link 6 speed's forum to show those other cars though if people want to look them up *idea*

Open to all opinions though, that is just my thoughts on it.

Is this referring to me? lol


Well, hopefully I'll have my car back in a week or two and once I sell my 600cc sport bike I'll have a bit of spare cash to buy a Driftbox or Performance box... Once I get everything fitted and working I'll kick you whatever files I log

Nah it was that blue 800rwhp RX7 where Ray Wilson was shitting on about it after I told him I don't give a fuck about his dyno sheets, and he sprouted on and on about how good he is and his motor is refined etc etc.

I put the challenge up, ball is in his court to test the car and prove if its a fast fd or just another dyno queen.

ok I get it. making an rx7 comparison is a nice idea. The other cars would muddy it up, as displacement is king (if all mods are the same and sized correctly). But a few wouldn't hurt just to see if you have access to them.

Let me know if you end up picking one of those up. I'd like to run my slow rotary too

Ah, I gotcha. Yeah, I know the car you're talking about. How long ago is this that you had that conversation?

The reason I ask is that it's now left his shop, so there would really be no way floor him to test it. Truth be told that one was very well put together with little to no expense spared.

Mine should be coming put of the same shop making about 500whp shortly. I'd be happy to do the testing and you can use those files as a baseline for comparison.

Honestly if Ray is just some rotary hack a la HC/BDC than you're not likely to find anybody (shop wise) in the states who really knows their shit.

Oh, most def bud! I have no problem sharing toys

Peter,

I emailed you a performance box data file.

Thanks John, file and detail received. I'll do the analysis tonight (my time) and post it up and send you back the file with the power channel added.

List updated, added a few more "normal" FD's that people can aspire too making themselves

Still very fast cars when you compare them to the list of real cars (used as a guide to measure yourself against). With a bit of fine tuning these are nice all round packages.

Keep up the great work, keep testing and sending me those files and details

[RobbieRX-7]

I've been looking for a list like this for ages.

We (all who get off there ass to test!) are glad to provide what you want, its a bit of hard work for me to collate the info, but I enjoy it and it's showing what these cars can do in reality.

I'm sure with time, many more FD RX7's will be tested, so you can see how you compare with the various set up's and levels of tune up out there.

Bump this great thread
