Kraftwerks.. seriously? Kraft-no-so-werks?
 

Re: Group buy Rotrex kits

STILL waiting for those charge pipes that were supposed to be finished 4 months ago? Weekly calls net the same response, "We will be shipping by the end of next week".... Nine weeks ago, but still nothing and according to the sales manager; no end in sight.
Well that's reassuring!

Here's an idea... wait for it!.........




Find another vendor! Most certainly another vendor could have been secured between February and July.

Here's 18 of them in SOCAL alone.

At this point I'll take my kit without the charge pipe and make my own.

wat

Not really.

So far in this thread you have ranted about something we know absolutely nothing about, provided a broken link, and have failed to really explain the issue.

So... wat ?

Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?

Dude your turbo is missing it's turbine wheel.

If anyone had been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like, what look to go more like would they even decide to use?

Seems fairly self-explanatory-

Purchased Rotrex kit from vendor under group buy that was supposed to start shipping the end of February.
The vendor is unable to deliver because they're waiting on Kraftwerks.

I started contacting Kraftwerks directly in April, they are the holdup.

My apology for the bad link.

How about just not get a failtrex altogether? problem solved

Have you ever driven a Miata with a Rotrex?

Look dude, you can come in here and whine your heart out, we are all bitchy gay car drivers. But starting that shit here will not end well for you.






































Wait nevermind, you were talking to 18PSI, our new Supercharger Queen! :riaa:

Have you ever been fucked by a trans-gender with a strapon?

Fun fact!

Being fucked by a trans-gender with a strapon was never mentioned before you decided to share your experience and it sounds like you're excited about it!!

So, how was it?

Yep, and I'm just complaining.

I've been perusing this site for quite awhile and I'm not unfamiliar with the douchebaggery...I expect it.

I still don't get why you are here? Did we do this to you? Do you want us to do something for your? Just complaining isn't really a reason.

Please dont... wastemore ...of our time.

:giggle:

Right, I'm thinking the same thing.. Why are you wasting your time? Stop responding.

It was about as pleasurable as a miata with a rotrex, but the trans-gender made more "torque" if you know what I mean. Let's just say you could feel it in the seat of your pants more.

The Rotrex was purchased for my wife, who happens to be a fairly inexperienced driver on the course and who doesn't need to be frightened by a wall of torque. I quite enjoy having my wife participate in motorsports with me and find it wise to keep the drive largely uneventful until she's garnered more seat time.

Thanks for sharing the 'strap-on' experience.

Now I see. You're bitter because you have a jacked-up, poorly running turbo car with "gobs of torque".
Sweet! How's that detonation working out for you? Bet that's a kick in the pants.

LOL, dude we're just bored and trolling you. No need to defend yourself or your purchase. Any FI miata is better than an NA miata, and an NA miata is still awesome in my book.

I know how this site works, I expected it. I am quite capable of trolling back and defending myself against douchebaggery.

Well that's no fun at all. ;)

Right! So, anyway... Kraftwerks is horrible.

I feel better.

I just wanted to use "wastemore" in my reply. Now I'm content.

Welcome to like 3 years ago.

And yes it sucks balls. About the only 2 excuses one can use for owning it is:
1) its dead nuts reliable
2) its super easy to install

3. Driver looking to fill the shortcomings of platform shares vehicle with inexperienced driver.

Also can be expressed as

: wants pretend FI performance for inexperienced driver.

Dann

First mistake was buying from an illiterate company that can't manage to spell its own name properly.

Lol @ OP buying kraftwerks then pretending to have wife.

... Says a Miata owner.

Kraftwerks still exists?

For the low low price of $4k you could have 150lb/ft of torque.

It wasn't near 4k and it's 157/ft lbs.


I get it, they produce little usable torque.
Don't tell anyone, but I'm a turbo guy at heart. I've owned plenty of turbo cars- My current being a 363whp Speed3. This is my first belt driven compressor, so we'll see how it goes.

Besides, it's not a Greddy system, so it should run longer than 2k miles without a complete overhaul.

Well since I am the Supercharger King of this place....and now I find out that 18PSI is the Queen........"Get over here woman....I'm ready for my foot rub"

Bend over.

I'll show you which way my revolver shoots.

:giggle:

That's not very lady like behavior. I'm gonna wash your mouth out.

What with!?

Dann

Ohhhh I think you know..... :-)

:magna:

What is it you need from this Kraftwerks kit that buying an OEM rotrex and DIY-ing it won't get you? Charge pipes and IC can be had off ebay for ~$150, you don't need a machine shop to make them for you.

"I love this bar"

Wouldn't this be a great time for a piece of rhubarb pie?

Yes, nothing gets the taste of shame and humiliation out of your mouth quite like Bebop-A-Reebop Rhubarb Pie, and Rhubarb Pie filling.

Bebop-A-Reebop. Look for it in the freezer case at your local supermarket, and at Ralph's Pretty Good Grocery; "If you can't find it at Ralph's, you can probably get along (pretty good) without it."

Why not just have your wife track the car N/A? The recipe for an extremely quick, extremely reliable NA track/race miata is well documented on this site.
If your wife is that inexperienced she doesn't really need a supercharged track car. She'll be a better driver in the long run if she learns to drive with 145whp/115wtq...

wife*



*husband

Excellent point.

I suppose I should be more clear.

We share the car, so I needed to add some power for me and not frighten her.
I felt that while the Rotrex is not exactly what I want in terms of gains, it would be a decent compromise. My wife doesn't drive in the upper RPM range so the car(for the most part) will act largely stock with little to no torque wall she has to contend with. Any amount of power I can add for me will be much appreciated.

There are other less important reasons as well-

Bullet-proof.
We live in California, so R&R will be fairly painless for smog.

Good suggestion. Thanks.

Nice try, Homo. I would MUCH rather have a Greddy kit than a Rotrex. A modded Greddy kit can easily make stock-block venting power and can be pieced together for peanuts.

Edit: LOL @ wife. You faggette

Edit 2: It's cool to see that you and your husband are tracking the car together(I assume you're the bottom due to supercharger). Post some pics.

hey hey HEY NOW!!!!


Don't hate :giggle:

I lol'd IRL :rofl:

OP, what year is the car?

Isn't this the same guy that complained about 15 hours of labor every 2 years for smog, but he still wants to track the car? Mildly entertaining at best.

I'm still trying to come to grips with the fact that we appear to be having a semi-serious discussion about Kraftwerks and Rotrex, as if these two companies were somehow relevant to "serious" engine performance.

There is a semi-serious part to this discussion? I'm not seeing it

Savington,
I laughed in real life as well. It was a good one.

The car is a '99 with Ca smog garbage.

A modded Greddy kit..because they didn't get them right the first time.

You caught me, I'm gay. I wasn't until I purchased a Rotrex. You must be one of them psychic people who can mysteriously realize the unseen.

Let's try it... Tell me, which finger am I holding up?

that's not a finger

you're just really small

Sorry no Miata currently, my boyfriend insisted I sell it.

Wait CA smog teardown every 2 years is too much work, but OP wants to track an FI car? OP you better be rich AND stupid, cause if you are just stupid this isn't gonna work very well.

OP, maybe contact Track Dog Racing, they are working on some Rotrex upgrades.

Irrelevant. A balls to the wall greddy kit would still be much cheaper than the shitwerks kit and actually be able to vent block. Speaking of not getting it right the first time...kettle meet pot.

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

Wannafbody- Yeah, I put in a call to them yesterday and I'm awaiting a call back. They are significantly more than Kraftwerks as far as cost and I'm not certain why.

Thanks for the heads-up.

You certainly don't know this from experience.
2.5 years and you're still on blocks.

You're awesome.
