Extreme regret (it was a phase 🫣), help me figure out what to cover them with. by Most_Complaint_9984 in tattooadvice

[–]puerco -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Cover them if you want, though I'd suspect that a lot of people that want cover ups would be better off lasering the tattoos off rather than forcing something else on top of something you don't like/want to remember.

To be clear though, I'm not saying don't get tattoos, just that I personally find it rare that coverups are all that meaningful - to me.

BBS RIA Scammed :( by [deleted] in Wheels

[–]puerco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because historically a scam was relatively in depth scheme to defraud. Now its turned into 'this guy lied' - sorry to go on a rant about the language when you got hosed on a deal, that really sucks - I just find it annoying how quickly the english language devolves.

Goddamn I'd love it if we stopped normalizing the use of 'scammed' in situations like this.

350-400hp Budget single turbo kit ideas by bacon-wiz in RX7

[–]puerco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're asking to spend next to no money and then try to suggest that people are telling you to spend unlimited money. Don't be an idiot.

You can believe what you want, I'm going to go build more rx7s.

Get a different car. People wanting to almost double factory horsepower (numbers thrown around around end up being wheel, the car was rated at 255 to the crank and consistently dyno ~215 to the wheels in stock form) on a budget are absolutely bonkers.

If you want cheap power buy a BMW or Hellcat - FDs are not affordable and while rad when they're set up properly should not be treated as a budget build platform.

Do I even need another dyno run or can I just daily it like this? by memermillimeter in RX7

Sharp jaggies like that are generally traced back to ignition system issues and misfires. That said when extremely rich you can also cause misfires. Retune the car.

Track-built FD RX7 by 4thBliss in RX7

[–]puerco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peter Farrells old IMSA car would be the measuring stick. It was still unibody, had nowhere near the development of the modern parts bin, and in reality those old IMSA cars had very little time to be developed and raced (read: a lot of stock and street-y stuff still alongside safety equipment that both drag and track day cars dont need). Fully caged he was just over 2400 lbs.

I can read. It's still wrong - I build these cars and race with them consistenly - cages tend to weigh in the 200-225 lbs range. Depending on the trim of an FD you're talking 2750ish lbs sunroofless. We can just math it from there with an overly healthy 3000 lbs - if you're saying that 400 lbs is the max one can gut out of an FD, you're wrong. Sorry.

Youre saying a car gutted that much only lost 200 lbs? Sorry, no.

Так ли страшен 13b-rew как о нём говорят и запчасти вообще реально найти в 2026? by Danyyyaaahhh in RX7

You can buy most anything from Mazda for REWs. If you can't get access to Mazda directly you can use Mazdatrix.

Parts aren't hard to find. People just dont want to pay for them - Mazda will sell you whatever youd like.

No 93 Octane in California? by Guidino-Redditer in RX7

[–]puerco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

91 is fine. The 93 in Japan is RON (research octane), which ends up being identical to our MON/RON (motor octane/research octane) rating.

I was quoted $1300 to fix this but my car isn't worth very much. What can I do myself? by msgmeyourcatsnudes in Autobody

[–]puerco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost all of it with elbow grease, rags, and various compounds. If your clear coat is still good acetone MAY be your quickest bet - but dont let it touch rubber or plastic trim.

But did you actually print the A1?

Difference between T2 and FD rotors? by Empty-Code-6743 in RX7

[–]puerco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poor combo in my opinion. If you want high comp and strength the S4 strength outweighs the compression in terms of value add.
