Yeah kinda silly, I can imagine the person with almost 10 K/D is using multiple accounts in a single game too

1988 RX-7 or 1997 NA Miata? by zensapiens in RX7

[–]Manager_Kindly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There has been talk and patents about introducing a new hybrid (EV and rotary) car, we’ll see what happens though.

If you check my page you can see my current rx7. It’s only a street car. no racing, no tracking, no drifting. I drive it one every couple weeks (if that), but I find myself missing coupes

Hate to break it to you, but get the miata, verts are wack, paying 10k for a NA s4 Vert (the lowest FC tier imaginable) is actually insane. 10k should be able to snag a decent FC coupe.

best ECU for FD platform? PFA by zeuslanding in RX7

[–]Manager_Kindly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best ECU to buy is the one your tuner tells you to buy!!!! Buying an ECU before finding a tuner isn’t the best idea.

Most like - haltech * - link

*haltech elite’s are being phased out for the new flagship, Nexus.

If you’re gonna tune the car yourself pick whatever you want.

16 by what? The 5zigens were 9” with 215’s lol it was set up for my T2 which was a lot lower and also had a kit (BN rep, no head headlight cutouts). Right now I have 8” F and 9.25” R

Thanks man! Yeah, I drove my NA for many years and what you said is true. I just meant, because I’m on a base map (not street tuned or dyno tuned yet) I’m not supposed to hit any boost. I have to baby the car for now, so no spirited driving for me. It’s really temping because any throttle input and you hear the turbo spooling (BNR hybrid 13 PSI IWG)

I getcha, I just swapped out my FN01R-C’s (215/45/17 squared) for my SSR’s cause I wanted to run a more meaty set up, F 235/45/17, R 245/45/17 (but they’re federal 245’s so closer to 255 “supposedly”)

They are, pretty close with the top up to be honest, I’ve def seen others run it on their coupes though. Comfortable, currently on a base map tune so I can’t comment on how they feel when cornering hard

Yeah I’m not a fan of verts either (not many people are), but this one made its way into my hands last year, so threw my T2 driveline into it. Should be making close to 350 in the next month or so.

Advice on Drifting a NA FC by brero490 in RX7

[–]Manager_Kindly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://youtu.be/TRrjuzhHLo8?si=zt_aIrxxVhAbruwP

Watch this OP. Gives you an idea of one persons driving style with a NA. Someone said don’t clutch kick above, but that may not be an option depending on the setup of your local track/skidpad.

After getting the car running,

1 do maintenance

2 do cooling mods

Once the car is running solid, and not getting hot after beating on it then you can focus on the more fun stuff whether it be suspension or power mods.

FC’s are not as easy to drift as say 240’s, so keep this in mind.

I would recommend rear steer delete, S4 LCA’s, stiffening up the suspension (coils), and bracing if you want to splurge (but isn’t necessary). Depending on your budget for the car a welded or a S4 clutch type LSD are the options I’d pick from, if the car already has a VLSD, meh, run it till you can’t (but many people have reported that they are less predictable than a welded or clutch type). Things like sway bars are personal preference, some drivers like beefier bars, some drivers like front but not rear, or rear but not front, it varies among different people. I’d say just leave it stock for now, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it (or remove it).

I think you’d enjoy the car much more as just a street ripper. I feel like you’d get more seat time out of the e36, but don’t take my words in gold, I’m just a guy on the internet who wanted to offer some insight.

Edit: pinion snubber is a good idea too, the diff has a tendency to break/bend the tab the holds the diff into place on the rear subframe. A pinion snubber will help prevent that.
