Would you want this as your first car.
My friend has just purchased a 1st generation RX-7, then he went off and purchased a series 4 bridge port 13b turbo. He is gonna have it dropped in in a few weeks time. Its his first car, all he has driven so far is his mums corolla. Will the car be controllable at all? Should i advise him against it?

Re: Would you want this as your first car.
I would definately think that is too much power for a first car. If you want your friend to live to see his second then advise him to get something safer and less powerful.

Re: Would you want this as your first car.
tell him to have fun getting to to idle even half way decent with a bridgeport... he'll probably blow it up and be with no car... I hope he does, or else he might wrap it around a pole

first car
my first car was an 88 rx-7 gxl, and I love that car. I never wrecked it although i went the fastest i have ever gone in that car....so....it does have a lot of power, and it is quite small....i guess it depends on how good of a driver he is, if he is alert/aware.....??? I would at least say to stay away from nos for a while!!!

the car might idle 500rpm faster, BUT IT WILL IDLE OK Gibbsy_au : your friend will get horrible gaz millage, HORRIBLE the car will be very driveable under 5k rpm depending on the seals used in the engine, he might have to rebuilt it in 40k miles after the engine was built. he will make tons of power past 8-9k (depending on port shape) but this power wont be useable cuz the more he rev the shit out of the engine, sooner he will have to rebuilt it. you dont want a bridgeport daly driven only because of the VERY poor mpg btw i realy think he will blow the engine before killing himself

hmm... yeah, i tried to convince him of the above...but he still thinks he is going to do it. He is gonna take it to a rotary workshop to get the engine dropped in, i think those guys will convince him that it is a bad idea.
As for the betting poool, well ill keep you posted.

Re: Would you want this as your first car.
tell him to get a large street port, that'll give him like 20 more hp.. or a half bridge port like devoutwankelist is doing, not sure how much that adds, I'd guess 35? anyone know for sure?

Re: Would you want this as your first car.
Well that's not the greatest idea your friend has. The engine life will suck, the mpg will suck, and it will suck when your friend puts the car in the ditch or into a tree. It's his money. I just hope he's careful.

Re: Would you want this as your first car.
yea I said "like 20hp" because thats average on a large street port, and the 35 was a total guess, I even said that. why do people get pissed like I think I know for a fact when I put that I don't know for a fact? crap man chill

Re: Would you want this as your first car.
and honestly I still don't believe you can make a full size bridgeport idle flat.. its gonna be jumpy and irregular
