There's nothing in it between them . You had the Rx7 only win the races it lead starts and for the GTR the same. No clear winner at all.

Go the rx7 for ending up with no hearing and no sensation in your ass. At least they proved you can listen to your favorite tune in the GTR while doing the Touge whilst recovering from hemeroids :)

a better scoring system would be to use timing. This way, we know exaclty who's slower and who's faster. So many time I've seen a faster car chasing but uable to use its faster cornering speed as the front car is so much slower and no room to pass. It then loses out it advantage and loses in the high speed section.

This is the reason why you have certain vs battle that goes on for 5 times and it only becomes clear once someone makes a mistake. But then again, take all the result with a dash of salt on the side.

Get the rear of the rx7 to grip up more and it wouldnt be so "even"

yep they don't do that well at all. Having owed a few beefed up Rx's thats a rather big problem.

Throw some wet at it and the rx7 would be nicely landed in one of the many trees on the side of the road :D

Maybe make it 4wd?

The point of the touge is to win and at least in this case the rx7 did that...well sort of.

its funny how everyone tries to save the gtr.. ur all like those faggots from the corvette forums when they got beat

WE GOT BEAT, BY A FKN CIVIC AND A FKN RX7

get over it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the rx7 as an awesome handling machine i had one.. i dunno bout u rev210 but my rx7 never had traction issues... and that was crankin well over 300kw @ wheels when i done with it...

chassis was well sorted as was the suspension and everything else.. awesome car, no weight and plenty of power and grip.

Sure the GTR is an awesome piece of kit.. but its no feather weight. its a fat fat bitch and it wont be able to compete with a purpose built rx7 unless it goes on a SERIOUS weight loss program

props to the rx7.. for now :)

I think its funny all the talk of the gtr is quicker and the fd is quicker.... and after all that the Amuse S2000 would hand them both there asses on the touge.

But in saying that they dont call GTR's GODZILLA's for nothing (im bias i own one) LOL :)

Isn't the Amuse in a different touge class? 300hp?

The weight difference would make all the difference, the R could get hte power down so it could almost keep up.. the fd was horned... trtying to get the power down early to make up for the r's awd... ended up waisting time with wheel spin..... though preventing wheel spin in a car that revs that highly isnt the easiest thing in hte world... the power delivery is impossible.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
