Found this last night, Glenn, the guy who is making a fine job  driving set up MRC with me originally  :great:   


Clive
I remember having a few quick laps with Glenn on the day  : what gearbox is he using in there ? 2nd gear around them corners at speed is quite unusual unlless he’s got a 4 or 3.8 diff which I’ve never heard of in an RX8

He has a close ratio FD box in the car, fine once its underway as 1st gear is far too high for an RX-8.
The cost is also a bit prohibitive as it cost 3K
He originally bought it for his FD but never fitted it.   

p.s. I slowed down so he could follow me for a couple of laps  ;)
All the best Clive

Really fast thru those S turns...  ??? Nice...  :great:

Btw, local company here has done first prototype set Dogbox gears for FD and Renny 5 speed.
Gearing is: 1st 2,56 2nd 1,8 3rd 1,39 4th 1,14 5th 1,0
Box and components will be tested atleast a year before going on sale. This company has lots of experience from Toyota boxes and they are really reliable...
Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

Now if they want someone to really test their gear kit and its free I may be be able to help  ;) ;) ;)

re japi

I know you do

At this point I dont know who will be testing it. I reckon it will be either 550 horsed street FD, or SemiPP semistreet FD...

Ref the "wrong video" - I was thinking, what a Public Liability Insurance nightmare! People wandering inside the tape lines, seemingly oblivious to the bike careering towards them  ???
