    Rx7's

    Tried to find performance stats and any different models that were made of these but not had much luck, anyone know what they go like!?

    How would you expect to do against one on duals with some round about thrown in to the equation?? Im talking shortish duals where you could hit 80-90 max before slown for the next roundabout.

    Me and my pal had an intresting find in one of these last night after bein out and finding nout to play with for a fair old while, the car did have a "badboy f+f style bodykit on it thoug but still surely that wouldnt weigh it down all that much for what these should be putting out even in standard form!?

    With a proper driver and an engine thats not ****ed (most of the ones with bodykits are cheap shit which need an engine rebuild) they will absolutely pan the arse of a Williams.

    In the wet they're a bit scary but they're awesome in the dry.

    Tips will be for the pistons. They are triangular in shape in the wankel engine and the tips wear. Rotory engines need rebuilding every 80-100k

    One of my mates in the States has a Mk1 RX7 drag car with a twin turbo 13b in. With 30psi boost and a 500hp nitrous kit he's run well into the 7s.
