Here are some pictures I just took after I got my new rims, and took the car out of the garage. Enjoy.

Yes, they are the 13.8 lbs RX7 rims in the pics, and the whole idea is less unsprung weight. Thanks for looking.

Vrooom (http://www.tylerman.net/car/270hp.mpg) But it sounds different now as I changed a few things. Ill get a vid as soon as I can of the idle and of the revving. No driving just yet.

I think we need a beretta v.s. probe. two of the underappreciated staples of early 90's GM & Ford sales.

Here's the dyno sheet, sorry for the crappy quality, the scanner I used sucks.

288 whp @ 8psi (http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/9/web/561000-561999/561030_19_full.jpg)

If there is to be a race, the only place it will go down is at GLD. End of story.

probes are 164hp (at the flywheel i think) and 160 torque and should be good for a 15.4 in the 1/4 mi. But he might be higher than that na

pretty nice looking dyno sheet. Is the set-up laggy? With as flat as the power comes on, I was wondering how slow the turbo spools.

thanks. Nice power though!

i never dynoed it n/a. and actually, the turbo spools quite quick. he did the dyno pull in 4th gear, and i dunno if that makes a diff. but yeah, its not really that laggy at all. should be out on the road again soon, i could take you for a spin if youd like? but this is all after i get it tuned again. ill let you know.

I really like FD rims on FD's :D

that turbo looks huge for that car. when we gonna get some numbers?

the fd rims are just sexy. but plus they are light, which means less unsprung weight. and about numbers, i already did get them.

288 whp - 264 ftlbs.
12.9 @104.8 mph

i posted them in a different part of the forum. sorry.

you know where to get a set of the rims and how much they cost

the 4th gear pull will spool the turbo up faster than 1st or 2nd and 3rd due to more of a load depending on the gearing.... but 4th is most of the time closest to 1.1 ratio and to get the TQ numbers accurate. TQ number will change depending how your gearing is. 1st gear you would have crazy numbers..but HP would stay the same...thats also why most things break in 1st gear
