Diary of a Madman; TitaniumTT's see you @ DGRRXI RE-REbuild - Page 72

I would get it running and driving but Dave is very reasonable and highly recommended

vex · 05-13-2011, 07:51 PM

I understand that. The issue is, I literally have only enough cash to get me to northern va and to my internship for the first two weeks. My car is no where near where I want it to be nor do I think any sane person would strap it to a dyno yet. Dave is just out of the question and I need the thing drivable yesterday.

***TitaniumTT*** · 05-13-2011, 09:14 PM

It's not that Dave is reasonable, it's that HE CHARGES NO WHERE NEAR WHAT HE IS WORTH!!!!!!!

The man should be charging 4-8X what he does, for the amount of time he spends on each car.... it's ridiculous, it really is. Seriously T, get it running, make it driveable.... get it to where it's safe, then go to Dave. He'll take care of ya... shit, if you're lucky I'll even drive out for the event

RX7's make pisspoor dailies unless they're n/a and pretty bone stock... I've been saying this for years. People who want to drive modded 7's need some form of daily driving reliability.... I have my faithful Mighty XJ

Monkman33 · 05-13-2011, 09:20 PM

I have two daily drivers. That way the likelihood of being stuck driving the 7 as a daily becomes negligible.

WE3RX7 · 05-14-2011, 09:07 AM

Vex - you tuning in Culpeper this weekend? I'm around if you need some help getting it squared away.. I do agree w/ B and MC though, I would get it to Dave as soon as you can.. the man knows his shit and is well worth it.

vex · 05-14-2011, 10:49 AM

Unfortunately I'm not WE3. I'm in Blacksburg attempting to tune it. I'll be posting in my build thread in a bit about that.

Yeah, post that shit in yer own damn thread. We don't wanna hear your haltech horror/woe stories here.... this is the big boy toy thread where if it ain't MoTeC..... its low tech

Would you be able to get it to CT?

vex · 05-14-2011, 08:10 PM

Not anytime soon. Car is not tuned yet. The rain has delayed me yet again.

***TitaniumTT*** · 05-14-2011, 08:51 PM

Make it driveable and get to CT, I'll help ya street tune her.

Its a trap Vex - he's a hater

With all the simplicity, he won't know what to do! Honestly though, he's a baller...

Yup, so much a hater that I'm think about hitting up C. Ludwig for a SRE for the 'vert if I can't find a complete pull-out...

This is true.... you'll have to walk me through the helltechs DOS based software

oh wait.....

***TitaniumTT*** · 05-15-2011, 08:39 PM

Like what? An FB? The car that has the same suspension as a 60's rustang.... I'll tell you what.... I'll give you ONE of my used pads... You can open the door and drag it on the grnd to stop or you can go Flinstone style with it, dealers choice.

That's too much braking power for an FB, not only will the windshield pop out, but the car will nosedive then flip on it's top.

Renesisking · 05-16-2011, 12:15 AM

I didn't read this thread in its entirety but if you are going with a 6speed tranny, are you doing the RX-8 manual like you were talking about a long time ago? Last I talked to dave, it should bolt up fairly easily (to the FD anyway) I am assuming that the tranny bolt points for the engines don't change too drastically. Should be interesting to see and also I am assuming you are going to rebuild the tranny with your own custom ratios and make it able to take that much load.

***TitaniumTT*** · 05-16-2011, 11:01 AM

Yup, its based off the FE tranny, with a different extension housing.
It will "bolt" up to any 13b rotary, problems with fitmewnt are the slave cylinder and the overall length of the thing. As far as custom ratios, not a chance for 2 reasons... the cost would make a dogbox seem cheap, and the ratios of the stock FE box are damn near perfect. My only complaint is OD should be in the low .7's, not the .84 that it is.
As far as strength is concerned..... without giving away any secrets, think about what's going on when all these trannies "blow-up." It has nothing to do with the strength of the tranny, mine included. Although that did stop us from cryo treating it JIC... afterall, I'm putting more than 2x the tourque of the silly little renni through it. For for few auto-x's that it did survive, the tranny was AWESOME! It failed on me pussy footing home... go figure.
