Bonneville Salt Flats
Bonneville Salt Flats
World of Speed Sept. 17 - 20, 2008 Hey guys I have been thinking of racing at the salt flats in September. Here is the web page http://www.saltflats.com/index.html I am going to get into the 130 MPH club this year if all goes well. Next year I want to get a cage and a few other requirements and go for the 150 club. I know the 130 will be a breeze but the 150 I am not sure if our car can break through, I think our top speed is 149 but I will give her hell trying. |
Good luck.
Glad to see you're keeping it safe. I've gone much faster when I was younger and dumber :uhh: |
me too

What mods, if any, will you have to make to your RX8 to make an attempt at the 130 MPH club? The requirements for battery hold-down, driveline loops, metal wheel valve caps and dual throttle return springs caught my eye. Anything else? Skinny tires?
Man, wash the salt off, right away! http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...ideoID=3114776 -1.3L |
The loop is the only thing I might have to look into but It might not need it cause it also says ( Drive line loops are required in the front 25% of each section of drive shaft on rear-wheel cars where adequate retention and control of a broken driveline is not assured by body/frame design.)
|
So does anyone know if our cars need this loop? I dont think so but I was going to call them to ask.
|
I believe the loop on the forward part of the driveshaft is simply to prevent the car from pole vaulting if the front U-joint breaks. Without the loop, the driveshaft would dig into the ground and away you go! LOL!
-1.3L |
I know of a 4port AT that has gone 153 mph.

Off a cliff?
-1.3L |
non-turbo?
140 is easily hit and it still wants to climb past that... i think you should have no problem hitting 150. if you do, get a catless midpipe or some headers. |
You can disable the MPH limiter.
Do a search and you will find out how. |
