MmSadda Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hey, I'm new here. I'm wondering if there's an intro forum somewhere. I'm an rx7 guy, but looking at trading my FC3S for a Starion ESi-R. Hopefully you all are less evil to new members than the guys of rx7club.com; we're horrible. haha Also, is there a stock vehicle specifications thread anywhere?

Thanks buddy.. And yes, that blue kevlar/kevlar carbon pattern stuff is long gone.. The car is doing pretty good at the moment, 360rwhp/350rwtq@11psi with a very safe tune.. Should be good for 430hp/415tq or so on the 440 injectors. Eash pound of boost gains roughly 17-20hp at the wheels.. I've got plans for a standalone and a DBB PT67 turbo to the tune of 650rwhp though.. That's a tranny swap away though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know what the weight distribution is? and am I reading right that the cars come stock with staggered wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanta Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Thanks, JustPaus! Anyone know what the weight distribution is? and am I reading right that the cars come stock with staggered wheels? staggered is correct. Widebodies that is - they have 7" in the front and 8" in the rears. There is a package on the 88/89s called SHP that has the fronts as 8s and the rears as 9s, of course you could find a non-SHP widebody with those put on already.

Anyone know what the weight distribution is? and am I reading right that the cars come stock with staggered wheels? Dude, I use to drive lighter weight cars too, when I got into a conquest, I swear I don't even notice the weight, on dry land (i mean DRY land) you have really good traction, I have an SHP so I have the wider wheels. As far as the power goes we have a little thing called Torque. Once you get in one the weight isn't going to be as much of an issue as you think. Pick one up soon as you can, they're really fun.

Lusion972 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Dude, I'm all for drifting and I believe most people on here like shooting their cars in a straight line. I personally like sliding my car around a corner, powering over and hauling a** to the next turn. Everyone has different preferences, these cars are so universal. You can do just about anything with them if you have the patience. Mine will be built strictly for street use and will stay below 300hp. I like the RX-7's but they are more tempermental then most other cars. Blow your wankle and your having a bad for a while. I suggest keeping your RX-7 and just buying the Starion if you have the means to do so. That way when one breaks down you have another to get you around. Just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
