Sorry if silly question, can poor wheel alignment cause wheel hop as well?

Thought about an Rx8 for a few years?

Guy hasent been on the forum since the 24 of feb from what I can see....

Thanks BlitzBoy I will keep my eye on the plugs. Now just gotta find someone to map/tweak it when I have the money...

If I take the car on a track day without getting the map tweaked, could the car go bang?

Hahah it was like that when I got it!

Hi All,

I have an FD3S which has the following mods....

V mount
T70 Turbo
external wastegate
shotgun exhaust
Apexi ECU
Wideband AEM AFR Guage

I have loads of other mods but I am listing what I think is relevant.

The car was mapped to have a silenced mid pipe, the silencer was very  small. Also the external wastegate was venting to the atmosphere through  a one inch screamer pipe.

Because I wanted to take the car onto the track I had to quieten the car  down to pass the noise tests.... So I got a new silenced mid pipe which  has a much larger silencer on it and also the wastegate is now plumbed  in before the midpipe.

The car now does 95 DB at 6000 RPM which is great, however before I take  the car on the track do I need to get the map updated because I have  added more restriction to the exhaust system?

The car is mapped to 0.8 BAR and I have driven the car up to 0.6 BAR and the AFR\'S are around the 10 mark when on boost.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

hows the turbo going dom?

ok, I think.... I havent been able to drive the car... been busy trying to get the garage sorted so I can store the car away from the pikeys!

It went bad that quick?!

Cheers guys!

A guy I know is about to put a decat pipe on his RX8 which is stock. I have got an RX7 and I know I would need to get the car mapped if I put a decat on it. Is this the case with an RX8?

Thanks

Hi guys, I am quite new to owning a RX7 and I have been looking around trying to find out what coolant I need to buy. I have read somewhere there is a particular type of coolant you must not use in a RX7?

Hello fellow Norfolker!

Comp test? Cant see a location?
