lol i think someones a retard. but who knows maybe it has an automatic VG swap and is a sick sleeper with stock wheels :keke:

[ripnbst]

It looks to have an FMIC, wonder why there was no mention of the FI.

[PRADOgy]

Nothing new.. i see adds where people are like

RX7 for sale
4 cyl
great gas milage
and reliable


...LOL!

[ms!3]

a lot of people just talk out of their ass. some kid at my school was telling a story about him racing a v6 rx8 in his civic. i wish i would know where some people get there info...

What do you mean? I've raced plenty of V6 RX-8's.:ugh:

[240sxScores]

It must be all stock otherwise they woulda jacked the price up for having a swapped engine lol.

[axiomatik]

What do you mean? I've raced plenty of V6 RX-8's.:ugh:

dur, all rx-8's have v-8 engines, why do you think there is an '8' in the name?

HAHA now that's funny!

[smelly240]

rx7's are so cool bc they have the ultra rare V7 motor ;)

MAZDA THREAD JACK!!! HAHAHA!:fawkd:

[2ilvia]

but someone told me that R = rotary, X = horiz. opposed, and 7 = # of rotors

all this time i thought it was a horizontally opposed 7 rotor motor

dern

[Andrew Bohan]

i used to think LS1's were one cylinder v8's :confused:


oh wait, no i didn't

sweet thread...

Obviously you dont know shit about cars













Its an inline 7:bigok:

turbo rotary with pistons, headers and everything. lmao

[5t341tH]

man that video is hilarious. i wonder where its taken from

[drifting.8]

lol thats great...

[sr20boostn20]

I had some kid trying to get a race for me, he says

" I got an rx-7 for you to run, but watch out, it must me worked cause it has pistons and rods"

HA

[ilovecoupes]

Any real racer knows that when you hit 99,996 miles in a 90' 240sx,
you automatically grow two extra cylinders.


This guy sounds legit.:keke:

Dood is from NJ. That pretty much explains it all.


......SCORE?

[614duece40]

i had some kid tell me my hatch had a v6 in it and a bunch of shit i knew he was making up. some kids are dumbasses

[oscarsx]

rotary engineee hahaha!!

It evolved into a 350Z. Come on guys.

I'm level S14b. One more level and I'll be S15!

RX7 for sale
4 cyl

and reliable


...LOL!

Mazda has always had a problem with their rotary motors apex seals and all and they released a 4 stroke for motor for alimited amount of time. it got very good gas and was also fairly reliable. just not as Torquey as the rotary and had slightly less HP. Naturally a person going out looking for a sports car at the dealership more than likely is going to pick the rotary motor over the piston motor.

[BlackTopBomber]

i once found a rx7 in the local paper with a blown head gasket.

I'm pretty sure that's wrong.

What you may be referring to was the Nissan Silvia S110 which was suppose to come out with a rotary that was designed and built by Nissan, but they had trouble with that and released it with a 4cyl instead. (Imagine if that was successful... we'd all be driving rotaries as well)

Mazda never released a RX anything with pistons.

And yes a Rotary engine with pistons does exist... in airplanes.

[Andrew Bohan]

that's not a rotary engine... it's a radial engine

haha. that damn mudkip thread messed my mind up. but yeah, woot for 4 cyl. rotary's. they're pretty badass. I saw a straight 8. that blew my mind.

[1985zcar]

Mine turned into a Blastoise.

Uhmmmm I like the 5lug hubcaps =) He probably thinks it's 5lug too, haha....

I get that a lot though, most the people that don't know much about 240SXs think they're 6cyl.

they also think they are FWD. LOL

[Andrew Bohan]

ugh i had to argue with the dude at the tire shop once, about only putting two snow tires on. he said fwd's need them on all 4 and i kept tellin him it's rwd so just put em on the rear.

he was like, no man, i'm tellin ya, probes are fwd.

Difference between rotary and radial engines

There has been some confusion when comparing Rotary engines and Radial engines. When looked at from the outside, both Rotary and Radial engines look strikingly similar.

The difference between these two engines is that Radial engines have pistons that move in a reciprocating fashion that cause the crankshaft to rotate. In rotary engines however, the crankshaft does not rotate. Instead, the cylinders that accommodate the reciprocating pistons will rotate around the crankshaft.

In aviation, planes that use Radial engines have their propellers connected in one way or another to the crankshaft while the cylinders and crankcase are mounted on the airframe. Planes that use Rotary engines however, have their propellers connected to the cylinders and crankcase while the "crankshaft" is mounted onto the airframe.

An external difference is that radial engine cylinders are usually finned for cooling, whereas rotary engine cylinders are often not finned, as the cooling is sufficient without the extra expense and complexity of construction.

lol i just got roflstomped

[ms!3]

I'm pretty sure that's wrong.



lol i think he was kidding.

[muddafakka]

I see so many classifieds that list them as being FWD. I don't understand how people could not know something like that.

I love how just about every listing I see mentions something about drifting.

"Own the perfect drift car"

"Perfect car for drifting in"

Etc., etc.

:rolleyes:

[skylindrftr]

yeah thats the prob w/ 240 hatches, at night you sometimes cant tell them apart from probes (silhouette wise).

[ericcastro]

When I got my first 240 hatch in 1996 I thought it was FWD. An older friend told me it was. So I figured he'd know, and it was my first car. Only after my lil brother totaled the car and i was on my 3rd Datsun 510, did I realize all those rain spin outs where because its RWD.
Then After baby sitting my older friend numerous times when he was drunk, I figured out he was an idiot too.

So I slept with his GF :)
LOL

[kuppler8]

i still dont know how neone could think a longitudally mounted motor, is fwd, or a v6 is a 4, I mean there is clearly only 4 cylinders there lol, what have those people never looked uynder the hood

[frosti108]

Probably cause your referencing his sig! LMAO

haha



this thread turned out pretty funny.

oh and i gotta say pokemon are sweet. they have such rich and wholesome names. :wackit:


and yea gotta love how 95% of 240sx ads mention drifting lol

[SW20Racer]

some acuras have longitudely mounted fwd v6's. but its not that big a deal. but i know what you mean about mistaking 4's and 6's but i take into account that a) people dont pay attention when they type or 2)alot people are inherently retards when it comes to cars

[Andrew Bohan]

we had some guys come to SDP once with an MX-6 they got for drifting.

were told them it's fwd.

they said it's rwd because they can drift it.

we told them again it's fwd.

they went back outside to do a burnout to see which wheels spun, but they couldn't do it.

finally we went out there, popped the hood, and explained how the motor was mounted, and pointed out the transaxle, and told them to get under it and see that there's no driveshaft or diff in the back.

they still didn't believe us. they said when they drift they can hear the rear tires screeching.

no shit.

then they asked how much a rwd conversion would cost.

we told them $50k just to get rid of em.

and they left.

[SW20Racer]

^^loving it

kind of like when i worked at southern performance, when we had a guy in a sentra pull up and told us he wanted to make it an "import car, for grifting" then proceeded to order a blow off valve simulator and universal intake. fuck it, i took his money.

yep and the last gen cressida's are FWD I6's.

[Full-Lock]

lol i cant believe this thread is still open

[qwarnon]

haha i saw a sale on local craigslist a while back.
it was a mid 90's civic.
had the JDM B18C swap
overbored to a F22C... ( i guess boring changes letters too)
it also had a long list of other useless rice mods.
lol

[SW20Racer]

yep and the last gen cressida's are FWD I6's.

i cant tell if youre being sarcastic or dumb...i mean, you even had me wondering if you knew something i didnt. so i checked and ill be damned if there wasnt ONE mention of the cressida or its successors being fwd
im off to do more research in the event hell has frozen and im wrong on this one
if i am, +rep for you

edit: no reps. no nothing. nothing close to a fwd cressida.

[morbid]

Wow, that's weird. I was just looking at this ad like 2 hours ago.

The Cressida's successor in the US is the Avalon. Nothing in the chassis was the same, it was a completely different car but it filled the same gap the old Cressida left. It was Toyota's new luxury vehicle (not Lexus).

As for the Longitudinal Engine in an Acura
It was a 1991-1995 Acura Legend
http://www.acura-legend.com/gallery/file.php?n=139&w=l

[SW20Racer]

yeah i knew of the avalon, but being completely unrelated other than the same company made it, i didnt bother mentioning it since it only covered the u.s., overseas however the successors to the cressida became bigger, more powerful and retained their rwd status

[ESmorz]

they also think they are FWD. LOL

How do you Tokyo Drift fwd? hahaha

[axiomatik]

some dodge/chrysler cars are FWD with longitudinal engines too. My parent's old Chysler Concorde was like that. I believe some Audis are as well.

[ericcastro]

i cant blame people for not knowing a FWD from a RWD and a straight 4 from a V6. If you have just taken your car to the dealer and to jiffylube your whole life, you wouldn't know.
It would be like a 1 1/2 year old looking into a bowl of alphabet soup. its just a bunch of letters. like an engine would look like a bunch of parts. Not till you learn the alphabet and spelling, does you soup become words and letters.

make sense?

Or I could have said engines to the average person are like Steven Segal movies to the world.

the engine turns on, and water goes in here, gas there, and air in the tire. Steven has an old buddy get into some trouble, something is high jacked, he moves his hands fast and almost always breaks an elbow while kicking but.
But the rest of the parts/movies are indistinguishable from the rest.

[Gnnr]

Pick up any Autotrader and you'll see listings claiming a V4 motor. WTF a V4!? haha. :keke: Just plain ignorance...

[ericcastro]

The thing that is redonkulouis, is the fact that they post these adds on "the internet", yet didn't google the specks real fast, its not hard.

oh well. What was this thread about??


steven segal i hope!!

[fromxtor]

Sounds like the Rx-8 I saw in auto trader w/ a V6 in it, I called them up and tried to play it off.

maybe im fooled too, but a guy i used to work with had an 89 cressida and i checked it out when he first got it to see if it was RWD and saw no rear diff case and it was still rocking the 7M...maybe it was there and i didnt see it, but it seemed to me that it was FWD.

edit: ok i now retract my statement. goes to show how smart looking at a car in the dark in a parking lot does for you. check a few places online and they said RWD....im gonna have to go and take a better look. and i know this seems like such a noobish thing, but damn i really didnt see the diff case and it did boggle my mind at first when i thought "is this car FWD?"

[wonkuuzenki]

Wow retarded.
how is this thread not locked yet? haha.

i wish one would be made. v4 would be pretty nice. sit far back into the bay. lots of space. prob be about the size of a rotary.

im a former toyota tech. ALL CRESSIDAS WERE RWD. done.

[ericcastro]

It would be like a porche/vw flat four :) just taller.

[ATLspeed]

there is a such thing as a V4 engine...they came in the german ford taurus or Saab's lol

haha noice. where have i been? i always thought they were never made.

[silvia_droptop]

omg rofl . so i saw a purple ek9 civic with a accord badge and a v6 badge.

asked the vato to pop the hood and it was a stock singlecam with the v6 badge glued to the valvecover

Talk about wasting zilvia bandwidth.

[RedStage]

but someone told me that R = rotary, X = horiz. opposed, and 7 = # of rotors

all this time i thought it was a horizontally opposed 7 rotor motor
