whats the point of that? and where the heck is the best gen of all in teh pic? THE FIRST GEN!!!

that came out of nowhere... ill try and think of a good time for the next meet then since this whole weekend is graduaton.. maybe the first week in July...

what is the point of what?

Hmmm, I just put some ROH Snypers on an old pic of my car....should I get some of these babies

NanaimoRX-7,
what is ROH?

what the hell are you talking about?

about your thread.

NanaimoRx-7, those look really good. Personally I kind of dig the old school look of the stock wheels though, and would look at cleaning up those small rust spots first. They look great though, so if you pick up a set, I wanna see!

I think a set of Panasports would be sweet on you car...they're old school looking and pretty light weight...but you shouldn't get the gold centered ones because they only look right on certain cars.

Which years/models of 1st gens had 13b's? is your's a 13b, NaanaimoRx-7?

84-85 gsl-se

no its not.. but his carb rules!! :)

i beleive there is also a few rare jap model first gens (from japan of course) that came stock wiht turbo's

umm i think all the first gens from japan were turbo just like how all the secodn gens from japan are only made turbo..The reason our cars are called Turbo II is becuase the 1st gens had a Turbo model and they didnt want the same name for the 2nd gen.

What? 1st gen had turbo model in Canada:confused:

no first gens came with a turbo stock

There was a 12A Turbo first gen model sold in Japan, and the was also another....the Elford

Elfords were a Mazda dealer in Southern England who decided to add a turbo to the RX at the same time many US firms were going down the same track. They persuaded Mazda UK to support the project as RX sales were poor due to the numerous local sports cars. As a result several dealers sold and serviced them with Mazda's blessing. About 450 were sold. The important point from memory it did not destroy the Mazda warranty.

The engine retained normal compression but added a Garrett TO4 Turbo providing a very low pressure of 6lbi, running through a modified exhaust system.

Series 1 used SU carbs putting out 160bhp@6000 rpm, equivalent to the first series of the Jspec 12at. Turbo charging was still in its infancy and the set up beacame very unreliable and lumpy. Some were changed to run Webber 45s.

Series II was a great improvement with EFI, a redesigned manifold and exhaust system- series I exhausts were hopeless they burned out quickly. Power was up marginally, but it was more trouble free without some of the flat spots with the carb. Starting was no problem like the S.I

Both series had a squared off air dam with built in fog lamps, if you used them as driving lights the Police picked you up. There were bigger wheels and tires but not too dramatic as they were few low profiles.

To put them in perspective they were equivalent to a mildly ported gsl-se,
in some ways the turbo was a bit of a sales gimmick. Latter on a few were modified by their owners with 180-200 hp.

Are you getting turbo for your RX-7:) :confused:

Timpo you ARE a post whore.
