What´s your opinion on people who engine swap rx7 and other rotary cars?
>>14921166
Stupid as fuck.
The car is literally built around the rotary.
>>14921166
their money, their car.
>>14921166
FD3s should've came from factory with LS !
Homogenizes uncommon and unique cars. This is a bad thing.
>>14921188
This. That being said, I would never do it personally, and judge you a little if you do. Quietly. I understand your reasons completely, but we just have to agree to disagree.
Not their fault the rotary is so shit to begin with.
>Americans can't make own sports car.
>They have to nigger-rig nipponese shit.
I'm dying.
>>14921198
Pretty much this. It's like putting a four stroke engine into an old two stroke saab.
Or an i4 into anything that had a v4.
>>14921184
>implying that means shit.
The engine just outputs power my friend. If someone made all the necessary modifications for the engine to work, there shouldn't be a problem with the car once it's working properly.
completely ruins one of the best parts about the car
Too stupid to do oil change every 3k miles
stupid enough to fork out 20k+ to be a special snowflake
>>14921247
But that's the thing, they aren't special snowflakes swapping out the snowflake engine. They instead become the normalcucks.
I want to call them dumb for taking the rotary engine out of a car made for rotary engines but supposedly the FD is a really good balanced chassis on its own.
>>14921278
It makes them a double special snowflake
>>14921166
>front cylinders inline with the strut tower
Came buckets. Thanks OP.

As expected of a burgertard.
>>14921287
>Take one of the best handling and well balanced chassis in the world
>With some of the smoothest and highest revving engines
>Take all of that and throw it out
that's why it's dumb
Every burger swap in to a non burger car is proof that USA can't build a chassis to save its auto industry.
They're dumb to maintain a rotary so they spend more money on a nigger rigged engine that makes the car slower.
The fastest RX7s aren't V8 powered, or even 3 rotor, the fastest FD to ever lap tsukuba was 13B powered.
>>14921510
>that vacuum cleaner hepa filter
>>14921232
Says someone with no experience with cars.
Power delivery, torque curve, redline, engine noise; these all have a dramatic on the car's performance and more importantly its character.
Part of an FD RX-7's charm is that wailing, low torque high horsepower rotary underhood.
Swapping in an admittedly powerful and reliable, but "lazier" LS V8 just strips away some of the car's charm.
Sure a stock LS7 will put out more horsepower and much more torque than a stock two-rotor, but for the gain you throw away what made this car such a neat little machine to begin with.
And I'm not trying to bash tuning or engine swaps in general because I get them, done right you can either enhance or flush out what's already lurking in a decent car or rebuild a duller machine into something unique and desirable.
But an FD already is unique and desirable just as it left the factory. I especially don't get why these cars get chopped up when at the same damn time Mazda was making another light, balanced sports car that can accept a V8.
The Miata.
It had a normal inline four and modest output to begin with so you're not losing anything by replacing the stock engine, and they've sold more than a million of them so you're not hacking up a rare, hard to find gem like the RX-7.
>>14921205
>>14921434
You stupid eurofucks. Look at the pictures posted. They're all taken in counties with funny shaped license plates and URLs with more than 2 dots. Not America.
Fact is that the chassis and layout on these cars is pretty good, they can be had cheap, and they can benefit from a cheap, light performance engine like an LS.
The Rotary eXperiment is pretty good, but just doesn't have the money poured into it to make it a good all around engine yet. Hopefully soon.
So it's not that we can't make a sport car, it's that other countries can't make an engine. Your own people clearly agree.
But please, keep posting proof of your arrogance and those noses pointed high.
>>14921510

Depends on the car and the engine.
SA22's are kinda suited to V8 swaps. They're solid axle cars, reasonably light, and they don't handle as well as later generation 7's.
An FD is great with an engine swap, but they're great without them too. You can't deny the sexyness of a well-executed single turbo two rotor.
RX-8's being swapped is something I'm perfectly fine with. That cars is a disgrace to the RX lineup, hosts the worst rotary we know of, and it should've just come with a 2.3 DISI turbo from the factory. K-swaps, V-ates, whatever, just go ahead. With the cheap, cheap price of rolling chassis nowadays, there's no reason not to.
>>14921188
I like people's freedom, but I dislike throwing long iron 2JZ's into a car that was designed for lightness. Now, an ATTESSA AWD swap with an alloy block RB26...

This is really a huge part of it. I know two guys with LS FDs. The first switched to a LS after the first rebuild on the engine , the second did it after his third rebuild. Wenkel's are really cool, but apex seals can be sketchy even if you know how to maintain them.
I think a lot of euros and Asians don't fully comprehend American car culture. Much of America was built with automobiles in mind. Lots of freeways and long straight Boulevards. Classic American car culture is about cruising at low rpms down the Boulevard on a Saturday night in big hulking machines with honking V8's guzzling cheap gasoline, and flying down long stretches of straight highway going from town to town. The high revving corner killers, while still popular in Burgerland USA still have their place in the culture, but it's not as set in as the monster Chevy and Ford boats that many of our parents grew up on, or the muscle cars of the 60s and 70s. Swapping in inefficient v8 engines is the American way. Cheap gas and straight roads have shaped our car culture and sometimes it's hard to understand unless you have grew up here, and remember a time before le fast and furious cucked car culture here.
>>14924302
LS is much more efficient than a rotary tho
>>14921674
>RX-8's being swapped is something I'm perfectly fine with

In America a car represents the idea of freedom that one can pack up and drive along the great expanse of highway and start a new life. America is quite large and has long stretches of highway connecting city to city, town to town. Sorry if you can't comprehend the enjoyment of cruising down this expanse in a monster machine with nothing but the view of possibilities through your windshield and the past in your rearview mirror, punching it and feeling the torque pin you back into your seat as you enjoy your cheese burger and freedom fries. And stop trying to be so edgy pretending you initial d to work everyday in your 1.2 litre econobox.

You cannot expect something to be good at something it was not intended for. Just because you can use a hunting rifle for killing something does not mean it will be a good weapon for concealed carry.

I didn't think so.
>>14926769
>You cannot expect something to be good at something it was not intended for.
So corvettes can't turn because they're not intended to turn? That's your argument?
And just because a boxster or S2000 can turn, that makes them bad cars for the open road?
Fuck off retard.

The S2000 is designed to never have a roof. All of its stiffness is engineered into the lower chassis. A corvette loses 40% of its rigidity when you go from the standard base coupe to the base convertible. 40%. The base convertible is NOT a performance track vehicle. It is a pleasure cruiser. Reviewing one to represent corvettes in general as track vehicles is extremely disingenuous.

One and the same, and the only reason you "know I'm a drug dealer" is because I don't submit to either, just out maneuver them.
Hit me up when you hold a duffle bag with a couple hundred k of your own money, bitchboy.
>>14926794
No, corvettes can't take super tiny narrow turns as well as tiny narrow cars, because they are wide for stability in high speed turns since they are a GT car. A souped up S2000 with the same horsepower would be FAR less drivable in those same conditions because its wheel base is too narrow for the job, and the Corvette isn't ideal for conefagging because its wheel base is too wide and its engine is too powerful.
Must you always hide behind strawmen to defend your poverty gokarts?
>>14926954
this is the same reason C4 corvettes are actually better than C5 and C6 for autocross all other things equal
>>14926963
not really because of width but more the wheelbase length
c4 is the same as an S2000 but C5/C6 are 10 inches longer

>>14927121
>I heard they are relatively fuel efficient compared to pistons
lol no, not even.
They are more efficient at power delivery (less moving parts to eat away at torque), and power to weight.
To compare fuel efficiency you need to look at it next to something 3 times it's displacement.
>>14927101
>What are Apex Seals going after a few miles
Go ask people running 12A or 13B motors from the 80's how they're still running beyond 170k with no rebuilds.

If you literally cant top off the oil every 3000 miles then you should kill yourself. There are fucking BMW's that burn more oil than rotaries for fuck sake.

You mean people who don't exist?

Rotaries are actually great engines for racing and have been pretty damn successful in all sorts of motor sports.

>It burns more oil and therefore cannot pass smog tests
People get RX-7's to pass smog all the time, It's not that big of an issue. They are equipped with proper smog equipment stock.
>this is also horrible for lubrication
Isn't that what oil is for? A good amount of owners use two-stroke premix along side oil injection anyways.
>You mean people who don't exist?
You should go check out a rotary enthusiast board sometime, older N/A rotaries will last forever on good maintenance alone.

Oh right it's the '5k corvette with a big wing' package from the factory.
>>14927210
That's why people swap them to honda and corvette bodies like all the time
>>14927260
>Isn't that what oil is for?
Not the amount that was getting into the engine, it was pretty much a two stroke even by your own statement.
The FC a buddy of mine had would spit blue smoke every few hundred miles.
It isn't just topping off at 3000 miles, it's a complete oil change, draining the whole engine. Not to mention the metering pump was complete garbage.
Metal Shavings from the Apex seals eating themselves would also be something to worry about from time to time.
He sold it after 150k and a few rebuilds (and got an Evo 7 instead that he also sold later on).
His was the S5 Turbocharged version however.

and vice versa my fellow eurocuck/3rd worlder/irrelevant plot of land
>>14921504
so why do europeans do it?

>>14927330
The best modification you can do is delete the oil metering pump and just stick to throwing two-stroke premix in the tank when refueling.
Exploding apex seals only happens with piss poor maintenance or lean spikes shattering them.
>>14927351
Some Euro manufacturers (such as Ultima, Koenigsegg and Zenvo) even chose burger engines either as a basis for their own or the whole thing untouched (its not like they are owned by them and are free to choose any engine they please)
>>14926248
yeah right the only people who think its cool to engine swap FDs are amerilard normies who have no appreciation for different types of cars.
>>14926922
The boxster lacks a roof compared to the cayman, and yet that doesn't make it dangerous to drive.
>extremely disingenuous
in what way? If GM produces it, then it should be allowed to be reviewed.
>>14926954
The R35 GTR has a much longer wheelbase than the C6 and it runs fine on the same course n numerous BM tests. Having a long wheelbase is not an excuse for being dangerous to drive on winding roads.
>>14927656
The C6 vert isn't "dangerous", just slow compared to any other C6. Only a fucking moron is in "danger" with any modern sports car, which also invalidates your "point" about the GTR.
>boxster lacks a roof compared to cayman
And is designed around being a roadster and its chassis reinforced as such. The C6 vert is an after thought for retirees and rich wives. The C6 chassis is not meant to compete without its roof rigidity in ANY meaningful sense. The C6 vert is not intended to be a competition/serious sports car. Its a highway cruiser. The C6 vert isn't a boxster; its like a cayman someone sawed the top off of as an after thought to sell to faggots.
>amerilards getting absolutely ANNIHILATED again
Lol, just stop trying you fat pieces of subhuman garbage.
Keep jerking off to m-muh c-chebby posters in your trailer park while the rest of us enjoy being able to turn and not overheat after 5 minutes.
>>14927938
>The C6 vert isn't "dangerous"
Yes it is. Did you even watch the video in >>14926590
>The C6 chassis is not meant to compete
You're right. GM can't compete.
>le oil burning meme
They don't burn enough oil for It to need topping off between oil changes. And modern cars burn significantly more oil than a rotary ever would, metering pump broken or working correctly.
> BMW spokesman Hector Arellano-Belloc said “BMW engines may consume up to one quart of engine oil per 750 miles under certain driving conditions” andthat performance models are known forconsuming even more oil than that.

Except an LS can be made to rev just as hard as a brap

They also barely add any extra weight, you add maybe 2% more to the front end.
Beefier diff and the batter in the boot and you've pretty much even'd it out
All while adding much more power, reliability and for most people, a better sound.
You also reduce emissions, use less fuel and spend less on maintenance.
>>14921510
That's because 13B/20Bs are probably the only FDs to go around tsubuka, asshole.
A properly setup LS7 FD would dominate WTAC on the bigger tracks.
>>14928086
> 8000rpm
Oh wow its not even the rev limit of a bone stock 13b
> wtac
Funny you say that. Around eastern Creek, both in the pro class, 13b rx7 wrecked shit out of a more powerful ls7 rx7
>>14928106
Hence 'properly setup'
And you don't need more than 8,000rpm when you're already making 600hp.
A 600hp 13B would last all of 10,000kms before needing new apex seals from the 500psi
>>14928112
> properly setup
Oh yes Mr know it all, a car running in the pro class of wtac with multiple big name sponsors isn't properly setup! Retard, stop posting any time.
>>14928128
Clearly it's not properly setup when compared to the 13B, because another 20-30kg over the front end will not offset a power difference on fucking eastern creek.
>>14928131
Yep, a pro class wtac class with multiple big name sponsors isn't properly setup according to anonymous. Just kill yourself.

funny because there is an LS swapped rx7 in WTAC and its shit
Sorry if this just b8, and I know they're not the only ones by any means but you have to love the beautiful hypocrisy of some Vetteophiles.
"Corvette's best sports car ever, better than (insert literally any car made ever)! STIINGRAY! MURICA!!!!!"
"You can't compare the corvette to (any other car made ever) because reasons!"
LS swappers are people who are into traps.
They think if the guy has tits and a dress it's not gay.
Just come out the wankel-closet and own a rotary.
