I agree and that's my point. Your class rules make it so that tire is the fastest based on the points penalty or if the class has treadwear rules. For the TT class I run there's no points, just...

We tested the Reimax 12mm gear and not the 14mm Reimax gear. Remember though we tested the 14mm WRX DIT oil pump. It probably would have been better if Reimax copied the BRZ pump rotor design but I...

Thicker oil helps but only marginally. Run an oil weight that suits your operating temperature. If you're a...

Been a long time guys since I've been on any forums but I'll revisit some results.

Glad you welded that lower mount as the body is too weak to bolt there. We actually made a weld down plate with backing nuts so you could still bolt in and remove the cage. It might be a better...

If you pull the fuse you'll have an impossible time turning the car just like when the system shuts down. You either reduce your caster as I'm assuming you've added some or you build a cooler. I...

Yes you have to clearance the rods to run those pistons but also the tops need to be machined some and the DI pocket isn't correct for the FA20 direct injection.

Thanks! Our motor build gets the oil pressure up but I'm sure the Accumulator kit has helped with cornering Gs as we've seen over 2G with our Time Attack FRS. It's cheap insurance for sure!!!
