The car is nice

Yeah it's ok. It has bugs that need to be worked out, but nothing at all serious. The car ran very well this year despite what people have heard.

How was your Festiva?

I heard it was a failure?

Ok, maybe I have been misinformed. If its been tubbed in the rear section, then it can't run in the street car class.As to run in this class, it must run close to stock style suspension, or did I read the rules wrong. It can, however run in the outlaw class. Now, the RX-7's already came with a suspension that is close to being a 4 link set up. As for the turines burning up even when using methanol, then he has a serious lean condition in the engine causing it to run hot. This could also be why you said it would rev higher then 10,000 rpm too.

^ I don't know about the different classes for each different racing series, so I can't answer your question correctly. First generation RX7s had a live axle rear end attached with four links and a pan hard bar. Second generation RX7s used an IRS, an IRS that explodes at anything above 500hp.

Yeah it was a failure. It didn't run 12's the only time I had it at the track this year. I guess I should have focused on getting the car running properly rather then focusing on school. Wow bad decision. Who are you? Do I know you?
