lol. can someone post one of those "owned" pics for Simon-AE86?

[Chas]

Of course.

[Simon-AE86]

i didnt get owned. i did not mentioned the US at all, Jap and every other market except the US, there were no non turbo S5 rx7's.

tyhe US got and still gets all the shitty cars.

Now whats more i was CORRECT about the diff.

so *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* you all.

[Chas]

Seeing as were from the US, would it not seem logical that were talking about the US model of the car?

[miata619drifter]

no no Simon-AE86 you were INCORRECT about the diffs too...

"RX-7.com says different about the limited slip types too...

check it out...

"In the '86-88 L.S.D. equipped models, Mazda used a standard 2-way mechanical L.S.D. and then switched to a viscous-style differential for the '89-91 L.S.D. equipped models."

Simon-AE86 got owned for the second time in one thread i guess

[Simon-AE86]

riiiight

well for one thing there is no such thing as a "standard 2-way mechanical L.S.D. " in an RX7

Mechanical diff's are Torsens, Torsens were made for the FD ONLy and not the FC

the other thing is Torsens cannot and i repeat CANNOT be 2ways.



stop looking at shitty american websites, half of them have incorrect information on them.

[miata619drifter]

so you're telling me RX-7.com is not a good source of information for the RX-7? ok...

[miata619drifter]

oh yeah, mechanical does not mean TORSEN

look here...

http://www.randdmotorsports.com/muge...nsmission.html


mechanical apparently means "multi-plate"

and you can get one of these 2-way mechanical LSD's that Simon-AE86 says dont exist at the website above

is it possible to be owned 3 times in one thread?

[miata619drifter]

this is weird, there is a WRX on this site that has one of those 2-way mechanical LSD's too....weird....

look for entry 1994.11

[Simon-AE86]

mehcanical means torsen

no plates

you sir, are a wanker

thats all from me

[miata619drifter]

if mechanical means torsen, then i guess Mugen is wrong.

who would you believe? Simon-AE86...or...MUGEN???

[jboss]

I used to own a 91 non-turbo rx7--it was my last car

[miata619drifter]

Simon-AE86, there is more than one type of mechanical LSD...have you ever heard of a helical-type LSD?

a torsen may be a type of mechanical LSD, but that does not mean all mechanical LSD's are torsen
