thanks, doesn't seem to be losing much power if any from the misfire other than CEL blink. but the engine cut off is what hurts, it only happened a couple times that race and luckily wasn't on the straight where car behind me can catch up.

just a koyo radiator standard core, not the thick core, and some foam tubing to close the gap between the radiator and the shrouding. will probably upgrade to 50mm radiator core next season.

Nice! I wish I could track, but my rx8 unfortunately met a very early demise. I hope to be back in the game soon though and to start tracking myself!

its a great platform for a track car. long wheelbase makes it stable and great handling from double a arm suspension. parts car are cheap to find, for now anyways. :D

swap “long” with “short” and you described a Miata perfectly

2nd time with my car out at the track. Taking a break from autocross over the winter to take advantage of cooler temps at our local tracks.

Lol, I played that part over 4 or 5 times trying to figure out what was going on. I’m betting nobody would have noticed without it.

Without it it's actually pretty jarring, the rpm is way up from one second to the next and the mph jumps too.

Went back to streets, dropped 2 tenths or so off my previous PB - now at a 1:25.06. So close to the 1:24s I came to find.

Here is the start of the final race of the year for Golden Rotor Racing. Prior to this race at Summit Point, we found that the car had a vacuum leak causing the engine to be lazy and it felt like it had VTEC. Ha. Once the vacuum line was reconnected the car really woke up. Coming into PittRace we were in a battle with some Bimmers that just had more grunt than we did, but in the technical sections, we could really harass them if not pass them. However, we had the tires overinflated and it was pushing like crazy. Sadly, the car expired on the 4th stint before I got a chance to get in to drive.

Enjoy!
