If the track is twisty you will be fine.

If you have long straights, you'll be at the back of the pack.

Not likely:

Porsche 996 Turbo

Porsche 997 C2S

Holden VZ SS

Ferrari 430

Subaru WRX Sti

Lamborghini Diablo



Possibly:

Mazda 6

Honda Accord Type R

Honda Integra

Honda Prelude

VW Golf Tdi

Peugeot 406

BMW 3 series

It also depends on the drivers of those big buck cars. Many do not have the skill or the guts to drive those cars to their capabilities.

To true - embarrassed a few of those cars last time - especially the STI & that was before my mods.
will try and get some pics of the day - maybe even a vid .

:rolleyes:

If the track is full of speed bumps, wouldn't you have a hard time not placing 1st?

Represent! For Sho!!!

You pretty much nailed it dynamho although I pwned the STI (not a good driver)
Could also keep up (not in acceleration) with the 400hp(worked) SS Commodore round the track .
Could match the Accord type R for acceleration but creamed him on breaking & cornering. The surprise for me was a Honda Integra race car - this was a lightly modified (and lightened) type R Integra . I could barely keep up with him .
We had a real fun battle for about 10 laps.

Last time on the track I got to 150-152km/hr by end of back straight - with my mods I'm now hitting revlimiter in 3rd at 165 km/hr . Think I had the most fun of anyone there though - certainly did the most laps .

RX8 Rocks :)

^ ITR is the shit! It is a great car.

yeah ITR's are awesome FWD cars

I think the RX-8 should be able to play with the Type R, that will be close though

nice to hear you mods are working well.. good job..

did you get my gmail?

beers :beer:

;) yes - sounding good for you ........

cant happen soon enough. but my guess is after jan...

btw, send me a list of your mods if you would.

beers :beer:

check my first post .
One mod I did before the day was to wire up a decent rpm beeper (patched it into my powermod) - made a big difference not having to watch the revcounter ......
also turned the fans on 1/2 speed

like the beeper idea...

? stock shocks and springs. and what are you using for tires?

btw, our cars are almost the same except color.. and location.

how are you controlling fan speed?

beers :beer:

on Falken 452's 245/40/18 they seemed pretty good - the integra driver was impressed - he thought i was on slicks :)
No mods at all to suspension - I like it the way it is (comfortable)- perhaps I could do something to reduce body roll a bit ???
fans on with powermod also

wow,

not soon enough..

beers :beer:

not flash - just grounding the wire to the relay using the "aux output" .

ahhhh - you forgot the underdrive pulley !!!!! :ylsuper: Hope MM is not reading this :)

Racing Beat sway bars will reduce the roll.

i am curious as to how this works..

as to the underdrive pulley.. i said almost the same.. i am 50/50 on it and i live in fla... no way i would underdrive the ac or h20 pump...

beers :beer:

The powermod does not have any outputs that relate to temp so I can only control it by rpm or % throttle . I set it up to come on at idle normally but can switch it on full time for track use. Think the Mazsport mod you have is better.
As far as wiring it in - hardest part is finding the right wire to tap into . Luckily i found a fan wireing diagram - pm me if you need exact details .
