New to the game

  • Hey everyone. I haven't done any spearfishing yet, and I have yet to decide if I'm going to start, but I'm just starting to get into snorkeling/apnea diving. I've always done a lot of swimming, and just recently started diving and snorkeling. I haven't done much snorkeling for about 10 years, so I'm getting all my gear for the upcoming summer. I live up in northern Wisconsin, so I'm diving inland lakes and a little bit in Lake Superior. I'm obviously not a spearfisherman and not much of a freediver (yet), so I don't have much knowledge to offer, but this looked like a good place to learn. So if it's cool, I'll have to leech off of you folks until I've built up something resembling a base of knowledge. Thanks.

  • I'm 23. Haha...unfortunately, I don't have a 7. It's just my favorite engine. I guess the name is a misnomer. They're few and far between up here, even the ones in terrible condition. I hope to get one some day, but at the moment it's not in the cards. I'm working on a Z31 right now, though. It's not my favorite car, but it was a decent one and the price was right.

  • When I was in high school,they were all the rave. You'd see them in Corollas,280Z.260Z. Probably the best one I saw was in a Suzuki Samurai,that thing would wheelie off the line:D.

    That's wild! An AE86 Corolla with a pumped up 3-rotor 13B-REW would be one hell of a car. Sickeningly, a lot of the people who have RX-7s around here pull the 13B and shoehorn in, ughhh....a Chevy 350. What a waste of a great soundtrack. I'm not even sure of a place locally that works on rotary engines.

    Hey thanks. I haven't hunted for a long time. You lived in Fon du Lac, did you ever go to Elkhart Lake/Road America?

  • Not for the races but I've been to the track there. Great Lakes dragway a bunch of times. Hows fishing now? I miss sittin on 5 gallon buckets, jiggin, watchin tipups, and drinking Pabst.

  • Looking for a boyfriend? :rolleyes1:


    Welcome 13! ;)


    No Marco, the 13b through me off. I just waned to make sure something I talk about was not going to
    drown a young kid.


    Welcome 13bpower we like to horse around here with each other, and I got a chick.:D


    Cheers, Don Paul

  • Welcome aboard 13b, BTW a 3 rotor its called a 20b and speaking of rotaries and ae86s here in P.R thats our bread and butter here.:)

    Cool. I was just referring to when tuning shops take a 13B and modify it to a 3 rotor. Or do they change the name as well? What vehicles came stock with the 20?

    That's too bad. The historic racing at the Brian Redman International Challenge, now called the Kohler International Challenge featuring Brian Redman (greedy sponsors must have top billing), is tough to beat. If you ever make it back up to the area, I strongly suggest you check it out, you'll have the time of your life (check out the aquatic center for some fine lifeguards, ;)). The fishings still good, but I haven't been able to get out on the ice this winter as much as I'd like to. I do a lot more open water fishing. I'm ashamed to say, I'm still trying to land my first musky! Fish of 1000 casts (or 10,000 for some, like me) indeed.

    Hahaha, copy.

    I believe they came from factory on 90-95 cosmos in Japan but they're built usin13B's rotors and housings and that's the way most tuning shops build them. There's even a 4 rotor version, the R26B that was banned from Le'mans 24 hr race after it's debut. But a well built 13B would give you 500hp reliably for the street or a good 600-900hp on a turbo peripheral configuration for a race car.:)
