Thanks man.
She has mid 12's in her with sticky tires.

We'll see how long the rear & trans last too.:eek:

TeamRX8 03-26-2012 01:13 PM

Been meaning to get mine down to the track for some euns but the closest 1/4 mile track is quite a haul for me. I'm sure it will run 13s no problem based on my datalogs, but being NA it won't come close to that trap speed :hahano:

firecran 03-29-2012 04:42 PM

Video of the runs, going back w/drag radials next time.:fingersx:

UPDATE:
A rematch with my co-worker is set for May 4th.
He has already bought some mods(exhaust/tune & other crap) for his Audi.....and the shit taking has started :scared: lol

I'll be running DR's & more boost for this rematch,
Let's hope she stays together for this :)
Gonna be fun!

I just watched it again for fun

Get some slicks and its game over

Brettus 03-30-2012 07:26 PM

Good stuff - 13.6 is a great first up effort . Congratulations

fuztupnz 03-30-2012 08:27 PM

:rofl: at the crazy amount of wheel spin.

Well done sir.

Unless his mods are bringing and RS4 with a 700lb weight reduction, you're good to go. :lol:

^Cool, come on out!

You going to run also?

firecran 05-04-2012 01:05 PM

Heading back to the strip tonight with drag radials.
Hoping to get mid 12's and I'm really hoping she stays together in one piece :sad:

don_peppino24 05-04-2012 01:13 PM

my best was 14.3 stock with 57,000 km.
no burnout, launch at 6k. it was on a cool night with no wind
fairly new tires and had a fresh oil change before heading down. dont know if that helps really.

firecran 05-05-2012 10:19 AM

Fun time at the strip

^ thanks for the advice.

Track was fun last night, lots of fast cars.
Ill post up some videos soon.
There was a sweet looking 3 rotor datsun.

My best run was a 12.7@107 still on 12 psi.
The drag radials worked wonders and i had almost no tire spin.

Here's the slip.Steve

WOW ! congratulations on breaking into the 12s- If i'm not mistaken that is the best time EVER from a turboed Renesis !!!!

Drag radials were obviously worth up to a full second ?

firecran 05-05-2012 12:40 PM

^ thanks man!

REW block here but im using the renny front cover :)

Brettus 05-05-2012 12:47 PM

oh - great time all the same - missed that point

gorockrx 05-11-2012 04:25 PM

Nice! I would love to put an REW in mine...had 9 RX7's before I got my 8.
Sure is nice to have four seats now though :)

Go for it man! :icon_tup:

Yeah, back seats are a plus! My kids love riding in them.
I couldnt take them with me before when I had my FD.:o:


Thanks

Thanks

I would love to find out exactly what you did to make that happen.
I have several ideas for engines if this one goes, and I would like
to know more details on your REW marriage.....if you wouldn't mind.
Send me a PM sometime.
Thx!

My kids beg to go with me now....it's great to have the four seats....
but..I really miss the mid 12's my last 93 R1 would do all day.....
without drag radials! I don't know what I could have pulled with em.

Gorockrx, Speed1 did a hell of a job building it. Not one problem to date with the car :)

SteveHoops 06-12-2012 12:54 PM

Okay, now I feel much much better about my track times. It was strange, I thought our cars stock should be faster in a 1/4. I'm up at 5,400ft elevation, and my fastest time was 15.89 @ about 87 mph. (first time taking a m/t down the track). I was a little disappointed, and I feel as though it will run better at sea level, but I'm not quite sure by how much.
