yesterday was the first time out in the car since carl hayward and his boys did some fine work on it. it was rebuild, street ported, gt35r, tial 44mm wastegate. koyo n flow rad. greddy FMIC. and LOADS of other parts fitted. he flew over to ireland and got it mapped for E5. then of to mondello i went(only race track in ireland) first while out i did a good few laps then in let it cool few more, back in let it cool. then out i went to see what it was like at fill tilt. amazing is all i can say. the power the car has now is brialiant. and the engine feels so smooth and easy to use on track with the boost coming on nicely. exaxtly what i wanted out of it. water temps are a steady 86/87 on the track:chat .the car is being used in the irish time atack championship series. im the only rotary car out there:p lots of evos and scoobys. but hopeing the rx should be right up the top of the field, and going by yestereday its looking like a reality. still need to get my new suspension, toyo 888s and the rest of the cage in before the 20th of this month for rond 2. so fingers crossed.
id just like to say a huge thanks to carl and his team for doing a briliant job on the car. :god and hope to see you soon.
well enuf chat heres a few pics and vids from yesterday. few pics in there also of my new rx8.
first few laps took some time to get used to the power as you will see:Giggle
will get some better vids up(waiting on them to upload)
