Nope. Those are std coils. That's a totally stock, brand spankin' new Renesis. It was in a Mazda crate ready to be popped in an RX-8. I just managed to 'intercept' it before it got to the assembly plant!

i've raced a cobb tuned STi with full 3" catless exhaust...from a dig, he pulls a car and a half and holds. Anything over 20mph, I will pull out and slowly pull ahead (STi gears are too short for that car..). Over 120mph I will walk him every time.

post your track times!! there's no shame, we all know these things are a bear to drag race

Don't post the times, Tim (at least not here). You will just drag this thread into the dark ages...

Thanks. I wasn't trying to pick at you. As I upgrade my car I'm trying to pay attention to what combinations of parts work or don't, or aren't even needed. From reading experiences on this site I think the rear dampening needs to be upgraded to properly launch one of these once FI is thrown into the mix which was my questioning your suspension configuration. I have no interest in drag racing, but I do want a setup that can catch good traction.

It will be tought to get Ryan to drive all the way out here, however.
Damn right! That's waay to long of a drive for me. I hate just driving 3.5 hours to ocean city, but that's what flyings for. I'll be flying out to Colorado sometime soon for work. I could do that drive for some engine rebuilding/hottie scoping, especially in a rental.
