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.

dieselmiata 06-25-2013 08:29 PM

Well that's no fun at all. ;)

Wastemore 06-25-2013 08:32 PM

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

I feel better.

FRT_Fun 06-25-2013 09:14 PM

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.

nitrodann 06-25-2013 10:09 PM

Also can be expressed as

: wants pretend FI performance for inexperienced driver.

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

bikersam717 06-26-2013 12:09 AM

Lol @ OP buying kraftwerks then pretending to have wife.

Wastemore 06-26-2013 12:11 AM

... Says a Miata owner.

Joe Perez 06-26-2013 12:32 AM

Kraftwerks still exists?

FRT_Fun 06-26-2013 12:47 AM

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

Wastemore 06-26-2013 01:43 AM

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"

18psi 06-26-2013 08:07 AM

Bend over.

I'll show you which way my revolver shoots.

:giggle:

TNTUBA 06-26-2013 08:29 AM

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

nitrodann 06-26-2013 08:34 AM

What with!?
