It’s understandable. And I think it would quite a fantastic combo. Closest thing mere mortals could ever come to actually driving a 787b.
Well I wouldn’t say “Replica” because it does look a bit different then a 787b. However I think calling it a 787b “tribute” would be much more appropriate and accurate.
It would appear that there are definitely different beliefs on this. I was just going by what I have always seen/read/heard.
Just watched the video. Pretty sure you are NEVER supposed to cross your arms when turning during any sort of high performance driving because of precisely what happened: Car goes fubar and you cant react properly because your arms are tied up.
Oh I am not saying that you couldn’t make it work, especially given a rotarys small packaging. I was just saying that because they are designed to be plug and play with SBCs (maybe even LSx’s at this point)
I’ve wanted one of these for so long. I know they are setup for SBC’s but I’d love to stick a Mazda 20b Rotary in it. Maybe paint it checkered lime green and neon orange to while I am at it.
Love the wheels but that interior color and wood grain combo look horrendous
Anybody know just how heavy this piece of ballast was/is?
And I bet they will all be rusty as hell in 5-10 years time.
Gotcha. Shit happens.
I know. I refered to it as such in my original post.
You do realize it was only badged as and acura in the US right?
I had the same issue with progressive, despite only being a customer for 3 years. Switched to allstate even after their “please don’t leave” price.
I think this has more to do with the Undersquare / long stroke of 92.8MM. You see the affects of this with the peak power in the low 5000’s. This is only 2.5 MM less then a Chevrolet 400 Small block.
I’d really love to see the gulf R400 put on a dyno so we could see what the powerband looks like.
