Rotary engines & windowblinds?????

from WinCustomize Forums
Hey all. I'm not 100% sure how this works but, that let throw some stuff out.

I'm a rotary engine lover,builder etc. I want to know how I could get someone to make a rotary engine windowblind.

For the people that don't know what a rotary engine is..... It's a engine made only by Mazda & put into mostly RX-7's & the new RX-8. It doesn't have ANY pistons,valves,cams,heads,push rods etc. It's got ROTORS They look like a triangle (3sides)and the norm. is 2 in a engine. 1.3L that has less then 20 moveing parts & can make wellover 400 HP.

Anywho, How would I go about getting someone to make a blind with them as the theme? I have TONS a pics of these engines and all their parts.(if that helps at all.

All my RX-7 club members would also LOVE to have somthing like this......

Thanks

I was talking about a 69 charger.

and for the times, 10 second car means a quarter of a mile in 10 seconds. I know of no mazdas with a 9 second quarter mile rating.

Oh, kona, the japanese support our economy, 90% of all oil pumped out of Alaska is sold to japan, so they must just be leeching off of us right?

And one more thing... I have a 1987 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II (that's a 1.3L turbo rotary). I beat a late 90's Mustang GT (that's a V8, buddy) that was modified. I dunno what he paid for his car... But I paid all of $1600 for mine, and it spanked him. Did I mention that when I bought the car, the old clutch was worn, and it was that same worn clutch that I still managed to beat that wonderful V8 of yours with. There's your fact right there.

Again...I repeat myself....let's all keep things 'conversational'.

Keep a lid on the language...AND personal 'attack', or this thread will be locked.

 

If only people stuck to 'real world' cars, and left hybridised/modified/AA Gassers and their ilk to the realms of ego-flagellation....if it's not a Production variant it could just as easily be a '52 Vee Dub with a Boss 454 shoe-horned into the ashtray....irrelevant in the real world...

so, here's the important part again.....

Truth is, you know nothing about cars. "American cars have more horsepower". Like horsepower is the be-all, end-all. Do you even know what horsepower is? Maximum horsepower, top-speed, 1/4 mile times are truely meaningless when measuring a car's performance. Drag racing is not really racing. It's merely a contest of sheer acceleration. Real racing takes place on mountain roads, road tracks, and rally stages. Where a car's worth is measured by how fast the car accelerates out of a corner, how well it brakes, what its lateral-g limit is, where its redline is at, how long it holds a decent ammount of torque and horsepower through each gear, the ratio of each gear, its spring rate, its camber, toe, and caster angles, front and rear downforce, body weight, damper bound and rebound rates, what the car's cornering speed is, the quality of its throttle response, where its absolute perfomance limit is, and what a driver needs to do in order to get it there quickly, and keep it there for as long as possible. And the final test of how good a car truely is; how easily the one driving it can manuiplate all these forces to turn it, and himself into one seamless weapon. In other words... how well balanced and tuned is the car? + how skilled is the driver? = how fast is it?

what car has been posted that is unreal? All these cars are not unreal, just because you don't know or understand the world of rotary why say it's unreal? It's not like I mentioned the jet powered corvette. I mention a two, three, or four rotor powered car. these are all real and attainable. a 400-500hp rotary is not unreal.

i've got three uncles and a grandfather that have or still do race cars for a living. one uncle owns a third generation RX-7, barely modified, and he eats up Porsche's on the track. all of them told me i made a good choice in deciding to use a turbo RX-7 for a racecar (i recently asked them about this, since i bought another RX-7 to keep as a daily driver, and the old one will be used on the track). and what's so unreal about my practically less-than-stock RX-7 beating a Mustang GT? that seems pretty real to me (especially considering i was there )... both very easily acquirable cars. also, my turbo RX-7 that will be turned into a racecar will be running at least 400rwhp. and it's not gonna cost me too much. i'm still missing where all of this is unrealistic...
