RX-8 Race Weight
#77
Here are some videos with overlays with the G's
Win at 2020 SCCA TT nationals
Win at 2019 SCCA TT nationals 200tw, no front wing
Personal best at closest track to where I live, was FTD at a local region TT
I am in the process of a similar RX-8 build but with a turbocharged LS3, probably in the 700-800hp range which I will be running moving forward, and this car will instead be driven by one of my friends and or fiance.
One of my other cars I run is a ~600hp Lotus Elise. So yes, I have a decent idea of what I am getting into.

just FYI that I had mentioned it somewhere else on the forum and then bought the similar equivalent aluminum parts from Keisler Automotive for their LFX V6 conversion. They weren’t made specifically for this on a rotary though. So I’ll still have to built the piece between each to the PPF attachment point on the trans and diff nose when the day comes to install them. Just contact Andrew there for them; they will sell them separate from the kit. I also bought a HD harness he offers for the EPS power supply and ground wiring.
also found this one with google search.
with the nzd to usd conversion, it's around $750 for the entire kit.

I agree with both of you that 1.) 'they' do tell noobs to avoid curbs & 2.) it is beneficial as long as it doesn't upset balance / speed.
I believe the trend of 'driving curbs' has gained much favor over this past decade with teams / companies chasing new automotive benchmarks, especially this last 5+ or so. You definitely see nowhere near the amount of drivers who indiscriminately attack curbs in the past. If this subject is of interest I suggest re-watching some original Best Motoring / Hot Version / Option Time Attack videos as these events are not only the roots of this culture which has now become so prominent but also serves as the continued inspiration for the 'tuner scene' past, present, future. You'll notice that no one ever utilizes this technique unless it's accidental and / or overdriving.
Ime, I've grown to appreciate what it means to 'stay within the lines' for many aspects of life. We've all learned that basic rules / laws, etc can be bent or broken. Musical intonation (pitch accuracy) is something which is for the most part a non-negiotable, although there is a very slight degree of variance when playing with others and also personal taste. Time attack and solo / small group ensemble performance are both approached with a similar method imo and seek the same outcome, which is a flawless performance.
