Re: What does it take to beat an RX-7

the whole reason people buy 240s is cuz they are rear wheel drive and perfect for drifting. if you were to put a h22 in there, it'd ruin the whole point of owning a 240. might as well not even have an engine in there and just put in some pedals and chain, or better yet, do it flintstone style. youd have the same results as having a honda motor in there

and what am I tryin to win I said I would change my point of view if someone would give me the facts... and since the HP is the same,and I said I knew PB is diffrent. then you said its just to be diffrent not better... then you jumped way off the deep end talking about some shit cuz ur wrong, you ran out of facts. and how long does it take to get a sr?a month and then you have to makesure everything is ok, rebuild, buy all the turbo upgrades,ecu upgrade,ect... .and how long would it take to hook a turbo up?? yea the price of a good turbo and the sr are about the same plus labor and other parts you might need for either would make the prices similar. so if you wanted power and didn't care if it was different the a ka-t would be the way to go but I guess there are a few 600hp sr's out there so if you wanted to be diffrent and put a shitload of time and money into your car so you wouldn't want to go anywhere cuz you might wreck it then yea go with the sr. I'm not trying to be a jakcass but read my whole post before you try to say some smart shit, damn.. and you can sleep with my mother all you want, but thats kinda nasty dude..


but hey my new H22a powered 240 is sick, with the 100 spokes damn!!!gettin the paint tomorrow will post pics.... LOL j/k biznitches
huh?

this is my thread, all i asked was what did it take to beat an rx-7. That's it. But i like reading all these posts. Its really funny. so u can keep on going if u wnat to.

Anyways, h22 engines pack 200 hp, that;s cool for a honda prelude for the ff, but defintly not 240 thats an fr, just like zdude said. how dare someone thinkm of such atrocity!!!!!! 240s are the bomb with watever kinda motor!!!! They could take out some cars that are fixed up stock!!!!!!!! The reason i got a s13 is because theyre fr and i was tired of ff. No offense for ff drivers.

Now, I was thinking of getting an sr20 in a year or so, i have no hurry in getting it. Hopefully i could have 2 cars, an economic honda or another 240 for regular use, and my 240 for racing. Its tru taht ka could get more power, but there's no stock turbo for it, so i dont want to rebuild the engine and stuff and make my ka a ka-t. I think i would use (not waste) more money which i dont have. Also i would like to race in tracks because it more fun, so i would go with the sr20. Also, the sr20 is good as it is already. and just the fact of having one is pretty cool (i dont care if its jdm) because the engine was made for that. About legalities... since ka-t and sr20 are both illegal, hell i'll just go with the sr20 and save myself some time and some money. Just my opinion.

About RX-7s. They are really cool. However theyre kinda difficult to maintain if they have a small motor thats prety simple. My cousin's rx-7 kept braking down everytime he went to the race for some little reason. But it pays off when u have an NA car that can take on 350z with TT. I like em because u dont need a lot of hp to beat high hp cars. And now that he has a turbo, its going to be even better, but ill guess ill try to wait til his car starts to break down to race him,

then vengence shall be mine , hahahahahaha, lolololol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Sorry about that got a little carried away. One more thing, not everything is just having a lot of hp.

Someone on Fresh Alloy posted a S2000 powered 240sx.

Plenty of room for a turbo still!
