Sweet, should be good for a laugh or two.
At least it's a car movie, I don't think there's been a new one for a while has there?

When this movie comes out I am going to make sure I don't see it, instead I will put in the DVD player a PROPER car movie (with a proper story with it too)

Bullit!

Mustang Nismo was a good novelty but is an insult to how many good V8 drift cars are out there. I think a 67 Mustang with 4.6L Modular would have been appropriate.

Thats rubbish, in a drift car, 99% of the time you are first gear, full throttle, bouncing off the limiter. The RB26 has stronger headcaps which means it's more reliable on the limiter. If you use an RB25 with stock valve covers it wont last 2 hours mate. Watch the video of the rotrory electric RX7 sitting on the limiter, dead in 5 minutes cause it blew the pistons.

Thats a new one, a rotary with pistons.

Yeah. I got Bulitt on Bluray just to see that mustang. it doesnt get used enough though. still good movie.

When i referred to Vin's SS in my first post, i meant his charger. isnt it called an SS charger? or am i deluded?! Not frking commodores.

Oh and apparentl they got in trouble for using the word NOS i nthe first, because they didnt ask the company. which is why (apparently) they call it Nitrous in the other 2.

Yes, what are you implying? A rotary has 4 rotating pistons with a central bearing acting as the main rotational geometry device. The 4 pistons swing around 360 degrees therefore the engine never has to stop, hence why rotarys are reliable and rev higher, theres no strain from moving up and down. Heres a basic diagram.

This might be a bit more helpful with how a rotary works:

No pistons present btw

Mate that sites a load of bull, let me tell you now. I've rebuilt 3 rotors and each time used pistons from a Ford Meteor as they fit perfectly.

Umm ok you've lost me, didn't know Meteors (Laser in Australia) were rotarys?

Those are the specs... I also used a touchpad, unsure of model name, but it's on a HP pavillion laptop... I'm just wondering why you want to know this.. Seems like a retarded thing to ask for.

If you want more angles or something just ask.. whatever weirdo.

DoreSlamR · 28-08-2008, 12:57 AM

Yeah can we get a close up of the build up of crap on the rubber bits underneath?

Just to validate the pics

Cheers

Sure mate.

28-08-2008, 01:11 AM

This buildup could be dust or dirt, not 100% sure, however, it's very interesting regardless. Hope you enjoy.

Edit: can't believe it , You can actually see the genuine Microsoft product logo, guys don't cream your jocks here.

DoreSlamR · 28-08-2008, 01:16 AM

LOL obviously you're a bit bored tonight mate.

Nice work

I should get my cat to draw a normal internal combustion engine. We could compare designs.

PAUSE AT 23 seconds!!! YEP, See a slight glimpse of piston, possibly out of an RX8 or RX3.

Unless I've been very wrong in all my years of car loving. This is what I (and google images) thought a piston was.

28-08-2008, 01:43 AM

Just pause at the right time, you musta missed it.

28-08-2008, 01:53 AM

That's amazing. You no longer deserve your user name.

I see the light brother.

god this thread has turned to pure gold!!!

And theres nothing wrong with the RB26DETT for drifitng. you keep the standard turbo's or something of equivalent size but stronger instead of using a big single turbo(which is what most people do to RB25DETs) which carries no down low power at all..

DBourne · 28-08-2008, 09:00 AM

RB26 doesnt v-tech enough for the ladies to start sweating (ultimate goal of doritochips masters)

RB26 is gutless down low. Only idiots sit on the limiter and within a few laps they are blowing smoke and running on three cylinders. Even funnier when intercooler pipes fall off and they get a nice engine full of dust

Monga, you have a bright future on Ford Forums and the automotive industry, I thought you were serious at first re: rotary engines, but Mondeo pistons??? Its hard to get a laugh outta me, but i jsut p*ssed myself. What a tripper. Awesome diagram and picture showing the pistons.
