Clive's 400 BHP Super GT RX-8 Race Car

[re japi]

whole clutch and flywheel assembly is 4.5kg

What is original/stock weight?

[Will66]

Closer to 11kg!

Are you using the rx8 front cover?

It\'s, no but I can get around that using one sensor.

Looking good

Thanks Phil and to Ray on the next post, still aways to go though but aiming for Japfest, got to have a target date or things don\'t ever happen.

Trouble is I not only need to get it finished, it needs running in and mapping before Japfest :Hammer .

p.s. Shaun, the flywheel is stock diamiter,

Clutch assembly came from Mazdatrix and they tell me it will handle twice what I intend to throw at it.

Is it me or does that flywheel look massive compared to the stock one ??

Can\'t wait to see this running

Shaun

I agree, it does look very large in diameter.

I think it will be Interesting to see how the car rolls at low speed, I imagine it to be very jerky, but we all know this car isn\'t going to be going at low speeds:evillaugh

Gimme the keys and fuel money and I will run it in for you, up to Huddersfield and back should do the trick:)

Here you go Chris this pic gives a better size prospective,

Had no intention of fitting a seat, but it looks as though its going to have a cheap race seat and a set of belts put in just to get it mapped so it responds how I want it to under race conditions---------then it will get removed.

I have said from the word go, this must be a drivable race car in traffic conditions as I have seen too many cars with power just at the top that bog like mad and then get going at the end of the straight, they can look impressive but it doesn\'t necessarily produce good lap times.

As long as it runs its fine, and the lights work I will do it in the night. Stealth mode
