I don't know if you're a member of this board but if you are just saying whats up? You have a stout little car there. I just got back from chick filet with a car full of people when I saw your car in front of me at the light and noticed that your tires looked a little wider than normal. My friends were like ohhh shit but I had to remind them that my 3rd and 4th synchronizers in the tranny are shot so I usually go from 1st,2nd,5th,6th and leave out 3rd and 4th to save my gears from being grinded to pieces. I figured you might want to play so I told the guy in my passenger seat to leave the "high boost/methanol" off for this one to make it a little more fair for you since you were the under dog. Even though I had a car full of people and was running low boost I still did not think you could hang as welll as you did but just so you know I had to start out in 3rd gear and could not shift into 4th do to the tranny problem but I did get to wind out 3rd gear and then let off real quick and in that short period of time you were not too far behind. Just want to give you props on a nice looking ride that runs pretty good too.

If it is an indian kid he goes to USF, he always used to blow off at me when i had my celica, now that ive got the Z ive been trying to find him to get a piece of him!

Yea, a quick 3rd gear pull with 400lbs of extra weight and low boost and then starting from a low rpm isn't enough to really guage anything. I did pull him but he wasn't that far behind and like I said it was only 3rd gear and I shut down but I do give him props.

Man, I've seen your posts before but never noticed you have a rear mounted turbocharger....very cool. What kind of kit is it? Sorry, off-topic.

It's made by STS in which all of their turbos are rear mount setups. This particular turbo is too small for my car but I'm not ready to upgrade just yet. My car made 535rwhp with the only mod being a 382 stroker with lower compression pistons at 12psi (everything else was bone stock except fuel pump/injectors of course). I recently added a custom grind turbo cam and cometic head gaskets and I will be installing an LS6 intake next week while my car is down for the tranny repair. I will be happy if I can see 600rwhp at 13psi since that turbo is about maxed out.

Whats up guys im the indian kid in the white RX7. That camaro is pretty mean i have to admit considering there were multiple people in the car and you werent even on high boost. haha i guess that makes me real slow. My mods are intake, exhaust, intercooler, street port, and im running stock boost (altho i have some boost creep problems so im hitting about 11-12 psi on average w/ the stock twins). Right now my car is having some pretty bad hesistation problems at high RPM that i have to fix so i was a little slower than usual but i couldnt resist the run. I was surprised to see you pull the way you did because ive beaten stock ss's before but then i heard the turbo as u passed and was like oh man this kid is outta control. Nice run and nice car!

RXtion, 1st off I love that body style out of all the RX-7's and then I saw your larger tires on back which made it look even better. Thanks for the props and it was fun giving you a quick little 3rd gear only run. I'm always down with racing anyone for the fun and excitement. I was like, "please don't let us start from any faster than we're already going because then I would have had to of bitched out and not raced to save the life of my tranny since I would of had to put her in 4th gear which I would probably grind to pieces and then never heard the end of it from my friends in the car because I would not have raced, lol." In other words, thanks for turning around when you did hahaha!

If you're ever out at any of "the spots" stop by and say what's up.

I think I'm going to print out this thread and post copies all around the house the next time I go pay Vadin (RXtion) a visit. :D
Then again his car is faster and 10x hotter than my broke POS, so he could kinda shoot me down because of that. :(

Good kill, I hope to own something LS1 powered for my next project car. Just not in a GM body...

Good kill Pwned, and death to RXtion. Nice screen name, lol.

I think I ran your brother in the white Supra that someone mentioned a while back.

The kid with the white supra TT is actually my cousin ( i realize indians look the same to many people). The supra is actually his dads, but he has a 240sx w/ an sr20 swap and his car is faster than mine. I bet he would have given pwn3d a better run than i did but his car is still down at the moment. He is skurred to race on the street tho ever since he got a street racing ticket in his old car for racing my friend in an mr2 turbo on fowler a while back. They just havent been the same since that dredded night... i hope we can all learn a valuable lesson from their mistakes =)

Ah I wasn't saying you guys all look the same. :) It was a very good race with the Supra.

Heh, it's all good. People do confuse us sometimes. I'm the noob who sometimes drives the supra. It must have been a while ago because I don't really remember any of my races in the supra.

This race sounded really cool. Pwn3d, your car sounds really hot. I've only read about rear mount turbo setups, but I've never seen one in person before.

I should be out with it this saturday hanging out with havoc from need2speed and hopefully his car too if it gets done this week. You guys, feel free to say whats up if you ever see me and my car somewhere.

This was over a year ago near USF, silver GT. I think you had a passenger.

you ever worry about water/road dabris damage with your turbo mounted where it is?
