Tokicos for the Miata go for about $130 each.

I remembered that a friend of mine sells tokicos. He sold it to me for $85. (I am talking about the 1 rear)

Jason you might know him, his name is Jack, he drives the Tokico RX-7 race car

Glad that worked out for you... I don't know him

My DNF was in the right hander on the first run up the hill.

speeddemon32

ahhh, the one I had to downshift on cause I just F#*ked that one up... yeah, I can see how you would do that.

Thanks again Jason for the Strut hook up! That was awsome. you made life just a little bit smoother.

Thats surprising....as we have had that same turn in about 80% of our competitions at Cal Club. In the last two events I was at, we had that same turn, but we were coming down the hill at that point. Regardless, that was one of the high speed sections of the course, I'm glad that you didn't slide too far off.

....you were gone by the time the escort was running on course....he broke hard after that same section, came to a halt....and then had to be pushed off the course. He had his car up on jacks during our 3rd run group....I wonder what happened/what broke.

Haven't been here in a while but started searching for an answer to my question and found this thread. Can someone suggest a shop (or person) to help install some Koni Sports that I just bought? I got widely varying estimates for the install and am whacking my head for not having consulted you all first.

bam...pm sent.

Not too bad Jason.
CSP/DSP are a tough hill to climb.

When did CS run?
Why didn't Ryan run with U guys?

I think that is just a classing snafu, he was in the same heat as the rest of us. Well make that most of us, as the CSP car had an "issue" and each driver ran one run with us and the rest in the next heat.

fastmike

Hmmmm...
That wouldn't fly up here.

What was the course like?
I am assuming you hit your revlimiter in 2nd?
BS isn't supposed to beat CS ya know
LOL!
CYA soon!

yeah, I've never seen that before...but then again, I'm knew to the scene. I would assume that they made this allowance because it was the last event before Nationals. I doubt his times will count officially?

Jason, your lines were incredible as normal. It is great to have the opportunity to see you run when we are working. Good luck in Nationals.

Typical cal club, tight, slow almost 1st gear turns into a long strait (they call is a slalom or offset gates but when I take it floored I call it a strait) most of the turns were over 90. I was not in the limiter much, just touched it once per run.

Yeah when I put on new tires, rather than the rags I run at most local events, I can beat Ryan. You will also notice the gap I put on the rest of the RX8s was about double the usual , ummmm fresh rubber is goooooood.

Nice job Jason. Hopefully the CSP/DSP index will be "fixed" next year and some other guys can have a chance at top pax.

We actually had quite a nice course for the SE lot down here. We even had a 3rd gear section in the Elise and it was still a ~60sec course. There were turnarounds, but they were open enough to keep it flowing.

Got to drive 4 different cars over the weekend. Ran my car on Sat with another set of used Kumhos, but the rear end was still too nervous. I'll probably need to get the alignment/shocks checked out.

fastmike

I know what you mean about new tires....I just got done heat cycling the freshy's and got them back off the car for the trip.
They look yummy!!!
Off to get loaded up. We leave Tuesday evening.

I plan to leave some time on Tuesday... This having a job thing is getting in the way of my racing. Ok that is a lie, I did get to spend a day on the dyno testing parts for a story.

updated points for Cal Club

SolarYellow510

You mean the pink one with massive Tokico stickers on it and Koni yellow shocks actually getting the job done? Or another Tokico RX-7 race car I haven't seen?

speeddemon32

its red. he runs tokicos. His name is Jack from speed shop and rotary reliability and racing.




I think I know which one your talking about though???

speeddemon32

Also, I wanted to thank Keith and Denward for the last autocross.
Keith let me run on his tires, and Denward let me drive his car...

Thanks guys!!! I had a blast, and it was nice to continue the points another month!

SolarYellow510

I'm pretty sure I meant this one.

If you click on the engine shot, you can see the damper adjusters look just like Konis. Certainly not like Illuminas or D-Spec. And the damper you can see appears to be the same yellow body that was on the car when I saw it at a shop here locally. The color is debatable in this photo because of the darkness.

Konis are rebuildable, so maybe he's working with Tokico and/or Vogtland on custom valving that they'll duplicate in their own parts, or something. But those aren't Tokico parts I know how to buy.

speeddemon32

I am pretty sure he is running Tokicos. I have talked to him before about his setup. but I can not 100% verify this.

... I could always call him...

Points have been re-updated.


No problem about the tire rental.....it makes the rest of the year interesting.
