A little insight please

Hey guys/gals,
I'm not a big neon connaiseur, but I'd like to know what would you need to do to a 1995 neon sport to make it get into the 13's. Because I have this guy at work that keeps telling me he has the fastest neon . Because I might be getting a 1987 Mazda RX-7 TurboII with 10 grand in mods...and would like to what times I can expect out of it. I know, I know I don't have a complete list of mods but the dealer said HKS turbo, big fat intercooler, intake, exhaust with 3" tip, racing clutch and about all I can think of.


P.S. As you can tell I'm not a big rotary connaiseur either. And on a side note, I heard that some people can get away with cheaper insurance for rotary's if they say they have a 2 cylinder engine ....Is this true?

a hell of alot thats all i have to say if i were you i wouldnt worry about him unless hes twin turboed and nos'd, but im not sure you should probably try to get a response from 209 neon and 1320, they will know.

Make a '95 neon sport run a 13...a whole lot of money! What kind of coin has this guy sunk into it?

You need to find out about his mods before one of us can tell you for sure. From the way you've set up your post, i think your Mazda will eat him for breakfast, but before i guarantee that i want to know more about his ride.

Bring some info and will re-post an answer.

He works where I work, so he's got a pretty descent sized wallet, considering he lives at home and all. Other than that he's got the intake, ECU chip or something, headers, giant ugly flaming exhaust, pulleys and I think that's it. I highly doubt he see's 14's but like I said, I don't know neons and their capabilities.

[3KSL95]

yea if thats all hes got you could eat him for breakfast. my advice take your rx-7 bet 1,000 bucks on the race and by somethin nice for your girl.. lol

[landyacht]

So the question is does his motor back up his mouth...

You say he has the thing chipped, headers, exhaust, pulleys?...do you mean a s/c or a t/c kit?

Riddle me the last one and i'll have your answer!

On second thought, don't bother.

If that's what he has and your Mazda has what you say it has:

1987 Mazda RX-7 TurboII....HKS turbo, big fat intercooler, intake, exhaust with 3" tip, racing clutch

You're gonna win. The supercharger of turbocharger doesn't make a difference. You're running a larger displacement engine with essentially the same kind of boost if he does have a blower (or whatever) or not.

His car:


Your car:

Yeah, i just read my last post. Bottom line is the race is yours.

[3KSL95]

lol couldnt have put it better myself landyacht.

[Raz_Kaz]

Thanks for all the info guys, I knew his car wouldnt be near 13's...even though im still contemplating about where he gets hs times because there are no tracks in my area . The rx-7 is not mine as of yet...it was a car I was looking to buy, but due to insurance increases, I do not feel like paying 400$/month for liability. Maybe I can work something out with the rents to lower costs. Ah well, it's a nice car, I'll posts some ipcs when I get home

[landyacht]

Rax Kaz, his times are probably via human error. He's allowing about 30 seconds in his favor for the extra time it took him to make the stop watch work.

The rx7 motor is only 1300cc actually so its a "smaller" displacement engine. But I put my money on the 7 anyway

[landyacht]

Ummm....you got me Beefcake, but i'm still right!!

[Raz_Kaz]

Heres the car I'm looking at...

Nice shot

Check the rims and TurboII

Ass shot

And for those who can read blurry, those are the mods done to it

[tha_new_guy]

That's a good sized mod list...the neon's toast. BTW, 3KSL95, no one twin-turbo's four-cylinder engines... that's just not practical.
