Don't be a moron, and you won't get insulted. You obviously deserved it, so I am not going to hold back. How strong was the impact? Link to the "extensive testing"? Are you telling me that a car's gas tank will survive an impact and a nitrous bottle won't?

BTW- Did you not check out the link notfred gave you? CARB legal nitrous kits... guess he owned you there.

Your use of the word "owned" gives away your age bracket as well... grow up kid. Learn to have a debate about a topic without using name calling as a way of getting your point across.

If you want a link, look for one yourself... but the military doesn't regularly publish every study then do on the web... not everything revolves around the internet.

so did i give away mine when i used "pwn3d"?
is there anything wrong with being in a younger age bracket?
i'm not commenting on ur argument, i'm just saying, that it was unnecessary, just cuz you're older than other people doesn't make you any the more better. if you know more, that's something different, and you wouldn't need to use the age bracket comment.

Yes you did... and no there isn't... so long as you can debate a topic intelligently without calling people names because you think you're right and you don't know how else to prove your point.

BTW slikmunks... are the apex seals on the rotary engines as bad as they say they are? I've never worked with an RX-7 before... but a friend of mine has replaced apex seals in his turbocharged RX-7 6 times in the last 3 years. I've been told they mainly go bad due to overheating... but he's pretty smart about stuff like that... doesn't abuse it either.

he replaced apex seals 6 times? as in rebuilt the motor 6 times in the past 3 years? there's something seriously going wrong there... especially if he doesn't abuse it either. It's more of knock that messes w/ apex seals... that or not enough oil being injected into the rotors. what model rx7 is it? as for overheating, that usually affects the coolant/oil seals more than the rotors iirc. but either case, overheating is like the grim reaper for rotaries. upgrade the radiator, replace all the hoses w/ silicon tubing/hosing, keep an eye on coolant & oil levels...

What kind of testing? They tested some type of welding torch for some unnamed condition and came up with some unreported result?

"NASA has done extensive testing with aircraft." <- does that statement tell you if the 737 you're flying to Dallas on is safe?

Read a book or somethin... I'm not gonna sit here and find links for you all day.

Is that your way of saying you are tired of arguing because you are getting your ass handed to you?

There's a difference between transporting stuff like that, and carrying a bottle of high pressure gas in your passenger car.

How?

not starting beef w/ u or anything, but the namecalling is going both ways... he called you a moron, but you said he's the kind of person that AT could do without, etc. bottom line, can't we all get along? 🙂

What kit did you install? How did you wire the solenoid up? What kind of kit was it? What pill size did you use for the fuel? What size pill for the nitrous? What size bottle? How much did it cost you to get it filled?

Jeff, as for your friend... he might want to check on some of the rx7 forums see if anyone can help him diagnose something else that's wrong, b/c 6 rebuilds in 3 years in his car is nuts unless he's a pro-dragger or something

I thought of pointing out his hypocrisy, but he will sidestep all arguments he doesn't want to answer. He still hasn't answered over 1/2 of my questions.

How?

The trucks must be liscensed to carry hazardous materials, and so must the driver.

That has nothing to do with what I asked you. They carry that stuff around in the back for freaking old ass trucks in EVERY state I have been too. They are all chained together. notfred has seen the same thing and he lives 2000+ miles away from me.

A modified street legal Maxima can do the 1/4 mile in 5.5 secs? LMAO!

My god, a street legal Maxima can go as fast as a Funny Car! My ass. And funny cars burn their engines for the abuse it takes to get to those speeds. Let alone a damn v6 Maxima with an aluminum block and piston heads.

someone mentioned that you have 15 gallons of gas... I'd rather point out that liquid gas doesn't burn, but rather the vapor burns. If you submerged a sparkplug in the center of a gallon of gas, unless there was a spark where there was vapor, there wouldn't be any ignition. That being said, what needs to be compared is the volume of gas fumes with the potential volume of N2O that would be released if a bottle were to somehow rupture... and you would have to consider that N2O itself isn't flammable, but acts as an accelerant to anything that *is* flammable, such as the aforementioned gas fumes... Of course, if the gas tank is ruptured, the volume of explosive gasses increases.

I agree it's not normal... I think he's been using poly-graphite seals... or somethin like that. Maybe that's the reason... I know he's not using the stock replacement seals cause he's convinced they're junk.
