I am confused, but I think you're referring to a part of my post where I got a bit insulting and out of hand.Originally Posted by boostleak
you just proved to me im not a fan boy, but i am all in the same sentence. Why would i bash my after market support and sound biased?lol
No one told my 230,000 mile engine it was supposed to blow up before I got my 13B swap, only FDs do that and thats because twin turbos develop a lot of pressure and heatI guess the 70-80k Apex seal fault line has nothing to do with reliability?
Depending on your gearing, and the track you run, it very well may be, at least for us 7 guys, the powerband is all above 5K, so we shift to keep it up there(I'll admit I don't know where the powerband is on a stock cam 240, or the shift points, so this figure might not matter.Holding high RPM's doesnt mean the car is reliable.
If the Ka wasn't made to see high RPM, it shouldn't redline at 7,200 like it does, and yes, chain > belt, but the Rx-7 relies on only one belt, and it's to keep the alternator and water pump going, our timing is fixed for the life of the engine, so it doesn't creep with wear.I'm pretty sure... no wait you dont, The KA is a LONG stroke motor, she dont like high RPM. lol chain wear? lol belt<chain. i guess 240's with over 200k with the STOCK timing chain .
still trying to keep the same respect we had going earlier, these are just, based on my knowelege how I feel. And I am sorry if I started getting a little fanboy, or immature, or bashing towards the 240s, but the other guy kind of pissed me off.

. and your right it was the FD that had that problem i was referring too that was my bad. I try to pick everyone out individually not as a whole. though it does get hard and i tend to do that, its a fault of mine. I understand your bashing to 240's. I think they are very good potential cars, it just the "people" that are getting a hold of them and giving the bad vibe making us good rare forty owners bad names. EX: DORIFTO FAN BOY.
