They don't use the rear of the MS kit do they?
|
woot yamada is driving the rx8. for the ones who dont know him, he drives the dodge viper for drift series.
|
dam didn't notice that rear bumper...anyone know what kind of rims they are running?
|
When we asked about the rear MS rear bumper at Barber last year they told us that the fuel cell setup couldn't be set up right with it.
|
NICE PICS!!! :ylsuper:

the 240 looked totaled, the viper looked almost unscratched haha then he proceeded to climb the fences -_- |
no wonder they arent running the MS bumper, I guess the fuel cell sticks out that much that it hits it.

Fuel Cell? Hmm? Does that thing run on hydrogen?

Fuel Cells are different then fuel tanks, but both hold gasoline.

LOL.... The difference is a fuel cell is designed to be resistant to puncture and resistant to explosions or leaking. Note that I didn't say IMMUNE but resistant. Basically a "fuel tank" is a big abs plastic tank while a fuel cell is usually aluminum.. sometimes double layered, and filled with a special foam that the fuel seeps into. In race cars it often means the difference between life or death although the clothing and helmets these guys wear are absolutly amazing. Could practicly take a swim in a volcano. Getting off topic but this is why "car" helmets are so much more expensive than motorcycle helmets.. its the flame retardant properties of a sn2005 (car) helmet VS a M (motorcycle) helmet. |
