I never said the car was rubbish just wondering why he went for that over other options.... And they are both road legal track day cars so I think you need to check your facts....
I don't see the point in an xbow personally. Its relatively heavy for a track car, expensive and slower than more focused rivals? Surely a Radical or BAC Mono would be a better choice?
I had the Porsche 962 scaletrix car and my bro had the Jag le mans entry for that year in the set when I was a kid. Always loved the way it looked in its Rothmans colours with the white wheel covers...

Just what I was going to say. Surely the gearing would all need to be changed as the Westfield Megabusa tops out at 138mph, in which case the turbo would be hitting it after about 5 secs of throttle..
I also think a couple of full bore launches would twist the chassis all over the place...
Daniel its ok I know he owns one so will be defensive about it. But to claim a std rotary is as reliable as a std ls1/ls2 V8 in my view is madness.
Anyway every1 is entitled to their opinions... :)
Yeah but you don't need to worry about det with the Ls's and that's my point... You just get in and drive them and that's it.
I don't think we will agree on this point so i'll stop taking up this poor guys thread.
I love the looks of the Rx7, always have and would buy one, but I would be...
Mate that isn't true and you know it. People have looked after their rotaries religiously and they still end up in a pile of bits. If the engine was so reliable so many of them wouldnt be getting converted. I can see that you are defensive over the car you own and rightly so, but you need to...
I can see where you are coming from with wanting to keep the original engine in the rx7 but you are not honestly saying that the rotary is more reliable than the LS are u?! And if you want to get it done by a company the rebuild will cost more than the car. Not everyone wants to take their...
No mate I think you are the one on smack... Have a read of the V8 rx7 forums and they all say they get better mpg on the ls motors and don't have to check the oil every time they fill the car up with fuel. The V8 has far more flexibility than the std rx7, and although the rotary has a nice noise...
Whys that? More reliable, more power out the box, more torque, no real difference in handling, better mpg?
I think after the first engine went after 20k miles and it cost more than the car was worth to rebuild then I'd do the clever thing and put a V8 in it.
Not getting the power down FTL... He would prob be faster with 400bhp then he would at least get some traction and not have huge lag...
If i was going to get an rx7 I'd buy a shell and put a v8 engine in it... Then you get all the looks with none of the fragility...
Hey guys im looking to get the original htc desire on an 18 month contract and the best i cant find is £30 a month 100 mins/500 txts and 500 mb a month on Vodaphone. Is this ok?
I dont think i'd spend my £50k on one though after having a think about it. An amazing car but I think id want something a bit more bonkers so I'd buy a nearly new gtr :)
