Education and relevant use of education are two entirely different things. There are plenty of felons who have PHDs and Masters degrees. If you are so educated, then why do you argue with factual information? You really cant even call it arguing, because its more of you throwing a temper tantrum and calling people stupid. Any man who uses his intelligence and education to the fullest would know how to put together a valid arguement. Just because you go to college doesnt mean you are smart. But if that proves it to you, I got my first college degree when I was only 18 years old. Intelligence Operations. Working on a masters and maybe a PHD one day (preferebly in some field of physics. I particularly love Quantum Physics but work is hard to find in said field.). And I devote 2 hours of my day EVERYDAY to learning something new. Be it about engines or ancient druidic cultures (that was todays subject). It seems as though you take the stereotype of Mississippians and apply it to others when you dont want it to be applied to yourself. Just because I cut off mufflers and dream up crazy ideas doesn't make me ignorant. I like the sound of straight pipes. Is that directly tied to my intelligence? I like to have things that are unique and maybe even impractical. Does that tie directly to my intelligence. Einstein, Columbus, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Newton, Darwin. These are just a few names of people that dared to think differently than the rest of the pack in their day. Most of them were laughed at, mocked, ridiculed, attacked, and deemed strange or stupid for their ideas. Not saying I'm on par with any of them, but just a thought for you to let rattle in your head for a minute. Don't deem any idea dumb just because its against the flow or the norm.

These other guys have relevant arguments as to why they think something I've said or an idea I've relayed is not a good idea. Even if its an opinion, its still better than an insulting comment. Those hold no viable place in an argument or debate.

 

Oh I totally understand. Not everyone likes them. But you cant deny their handling and elegance. They arent that impressive in stock form. Kinda impressive, yeah. Buildable? Very. But I tend to like things that are outside the normal so a rotary is right up my lane. They are pretty reliable from my understanding, but having never owned one I couldn't vouch for that. But since Mazda is the only company that puts them in cars, idk if we will ever see a truly badass rotary motor in stock form.

 

I suppose the next obvious question is...why haven't you made a set of headers out of uranium yet?

 

With your attitude, you should of bought an S2000

 

haha tell me about it immagine if me or you could toss our power plants in that car..........can you say bye bye joe o and hello new LT1 NA record?? lol

....

hmmm..........so heres my though process........

spend 3500 on titanium/uranium/kryptonite headers and save 15lbs...........or spend my 3500 in my cylinder heads and turn bottom tens...............hmmmmmmmm.....im going with the heads.......10.01 FTMFW!!! haha

 

Uranium is EXTREMELY heavy, as is tungsten. And even the depleted uranium we work with is very volatile. You can hit it with a hammer and watch sparks shower 20+ feet away. And plus, I couldn't custom fabricate a damn tin can, much less a set of headers. I'll leave that to the pros. Like my buddy with the RX8. Haha.

And to all of you tech members, I'm truly sorry for this back and forth between me and my fellow Mississippian, but I can't allow my intelligence to be questioned on an internet forum by someone who doesn't know me or my life at all. All he knows is that I have straight pipes, a desire for things they may be impractically expensive, and an appreciation for Wankle rotary engines. Wow, lot of basis to judge a man's background from right there. Haha.

And pillarpod, I really don't understand your comment? How does my attitude dictate what kind of car I want? I love American muscle. But that doesn't mean "them damn bumblebee jap cars is stoopid". Relax. I am actually a pretty pleasant guy. I never have anything bad to say about anyone, unless you begin to question my intelligence or ignore cold hard facts. There is nothing worse in the world than someone who substitutes their opinion as fact. Because it leads to radical thought processes and condemnation of the unknown or misunderstood.

 

WTF!???!!?



should i call the government? lol

 

"It's raining cold hard facts in here"

This thread got out of hand

 

Na, we are ok. Don't need any government. I work for them too anyways. Haha We are legal to screw with the uranium. Plus its depleted. No real eminent threat there. And you have to hit it to separate it from the wings once its unbolted. Tends to be stuck in there quite well.

 

I hope you realize how hard I am laughing right now.

 

oh joe btw..........i upped my flux capaciator to 1.5million jigga watts i should def run that 9.90 now hahahahahaha

 

X2....

I'll attach a rod to my car so when it gets struck by lightning it'll react with my D.U. Pistons and make my car's VTEC engage and fire lightning bolts out the ***..

 

Wow you dont get on the internet much..I guess the radiation from the D.U. has eaten up your skin..lmao..

 

Im laughing just as hard as those three. Im done with this thread its full of fail anyway.

 

lmao!!!!! hahahahahah

 

Just thought I'd remind the OP's "precious" RX-8 and it's teeny weeny 1.3L rotary motor is now DEAD because it was such a slow ***, torque-less dog that drinks oil and guzzles gas more than a 7.0L LS7 that nobody buys....

http://rumors.automobilemag.com/good...led-70143.html

 

Well I'm glad you know about the rx8s gas mileage and oil consumption. Because my buddies gets 22 mph and consumes no oil. And it has 80k on the clock. Guess you believe everything you hear maybe? Don't forget though, f bodies were cancelled too. That make them a piece of ****? I think not. It's all about market and the market constantly changes.

 

At least the 4th gens were competitive and relevant performance wise when canceled in 2002..And the Camaro is back outselling Mustangs for the first time in decades....Firebird just got shitted on when Pontiac went under You certainly cannot say that about a freaking Rx8; it was never competitive as a performance car, and 22 MPG is even more pathetic....my LS1 Firehawk does that with 322 HP to the wheels and about 3x the torque of the piddly 1.3. Oh, and the oil consumption is a known issue...go talk to any mazda rotary mechanic...if you can find one.

 

Apex Seals..

That's all I have to say.

 

Merv speak OH SO MUCH truff!
