beer sold me, i'm coming over tomorrow.

If no one minds teaching someone, I'd like to learn more about rotary engines and RX-7's in general.

I didn't mean to necessarily compare on a 'Z06 is better' type of arguement. I was more trying to point out how impressive the 179 c.i. built engine is compared to what we consider is 'badass' today. EDIT : And I also want a F50, have for a long time...

I was thinking a Bar was more than 7 psi, but that's what I remember hearing somewhere. But I didn't think it was 16 p.s.i. So I did some research and found 1 bar = 14.5037738 pounds per square inch. The Bar measurement is generally used in european cars to represent atmospheric pressure. (14.7) Though there is a lot of differences depending on altitude. But for the sake of arguement let's say that 1 Bar = 14.7 P.s.i. Most cars that run one bar of boost are running at 29.4 p.s.i.a.(pounds per square inch absolute) which is the normal 14.7 psi the engine would be pulling normally AND it's being force fed another 14.7 p.s.i. I guess a lot of european cars that have a boost gauge generally have 3 bars on it? And I've read that some of the older Audi's actually sit at 1 bar with the engine off and at sea level. But a guage that is only measureing boost may read 0 bars until you get into boost. In which case the 1 Bar isn't necessarily equal to any specific conversion to p.s.i. it's all based on your current atmospheric pressure. Which is turn makes 1 bar, 200% of what the engine would normally be running. I guess this is where the old saying of 15 p.s.i. is double your engine power. Pretty neat stuff, Thought I'd just relay it. And thanks for making me look it up.

how about like Wednesday because it's supposed ot be back up in the 50's then?

That amazes me, 7.8:1 compression, about 7-8 p.s.i., and 478 hp @7,000 and 425 ft.-lbs.@4,000 on a 179 c.i. engine. 0-60 in like 4 seconds. And the Corvette, the new top dawg is 11:1 Compression 505 hp@ 6,300 and 470 ft.-lbs.@4,800 on a 427 c.i. engine, with a 0-60 of 3.7 seconds. F40 $400,000+ car Corvette Z06 $79,000 (I think that's the highest one, loaded with every option?) EDIT : BTW I'm amazed at the amount of power pulled from the Ferrari 179 c.i. engine. AND the price difference. Figured I'd go ahead and through both thoughts into the same post.

Yay for bench racing. EDIT : You don't know me, I'm an Original O.G. Gangsta. G UNIT!

hahaha

sooo how does she ride?

"I understand the Jeep thing, That's why I bought a Toyota."

lol awesome

"Got the clap." ... I mean ... "make it clap..."

Call Kastle, He's a VW Tech. I'll give ya his number if ya want.

oh yeah! I forgot .... 3. Savy misleading mechanics that prey on easy women (Thank you God for easy women.)

Mechanics generally aren't in it for the money, they do it because 1. it's all they know how to do to make a living. or 2. because they really enjoy it (no matter how much they bitch about it.)

Look, it's an optical illusion, if you stare really hard you can see a Neon in the background.

Sorry does that say $100,000 as a starting bid? ... dear God.

Hey jackass, nothing wrong with carbs! (When they work right.) But yeah they're all right there should a knob to pull and it's generally down around where the hood release or OBDII hook up would be on the newer cars. I'm going to go check out some new careers today but afterwards I got nothing to do if ya want me to swing by. Downside today is the carb might be out of adjustment after sitting so long. Is it an original or an aftermarket like Edelbrock or Holley?

not hard to get CR guys over with promises of food and beer.

Don't Go To Wyotech In P.a. EDIT : My 2 cents

... bet your tranny gives first ...

So hey, need to know someone who can bend 2 1/2 inch pipe for a intercooler application on a 2.3L Tbird. Really all I need is some names, numbers, and maybe some personal experiences with the people? Thanks.

wow...

Recently have decided to start working out again and eating right. and When I do go play pool I end up spending many hours at the tables... And yeah, obviously, like Anthony said ... lots of car stuff.

You give them your money, and then eat at the buffet ... besides "Welcome to Cici's" and "Have a good day." What interaction do you have with these people?
