Still need to work on that FD and a better tune.

Ok, back after some time.

We have been developing the car and testing on the track. Our first wheel 2 wheel race will be in July 1-3. No more time trials!

Here is an "Google Earth" view of the track. Its 3.4kms long and we are doing aprox 1:40 per lap. We started at 1:52 per lap, but after learning about the car, fine tunning the suspension and seat time seat time and more seat time we have come a long time down.

Both our track ready cars, anxious to enter the track early in the morning!

Going for an outside pass on a long curve on a fellow 86 and friend

Nice picture taken by a friend of ours

ANNDDDD.... we broke the support of the spoiler... Guess fiber glass cant hold the braking power of our car. It broke after reaching 180 kms/h and braking to 80 on T1 entering the turn. There is a video somewhere of when it happened. So once I find it I will post it.

Again thanks to @Mishimoto @Racecomp Engineering and @MicheleAbbate

Good work! Keep it up and good luck!

Mishimoto · 06-21-2016, 08:39 AM

Glad we can help keep this thing cool! Looks like a blast and I'm sure it's a hell of a knife on the track. Also, it's cool to see a rocketbunny wing being used for function before form! (though it looks awesome too).

Happy tracking,
-Gardiner

Well guys first part of a big update!!

We had our first w2w race this weekend. We registered in 2 categories T2000 which had heavy restrictions on modification and its up to 2000cc, and N2500 for 2500cc and under with more alot more... space for modification. We were set up 100% for T2000 and were a bit underclassed in N2500.

We manage to get first place in T2000 and second place in N2500!!!

Over the week I will post pictures and videos. Keep posted because it was a hard fight for those spots.

Again, thanks to @MicheleAbbate @Mishimoto @Racecomp Engineering and finally to our new sponsor @AceHeader-MT

good progress and cool to see a win! congrats

Panamaniac · 07-04-2016, 05:23 PM

Ok just got a batch of pictures from the race.

We ran 4 heats. 2 for each grouping.

It was a tough fight, so let me show a picture before the first heat

and how bad the car looked after the 1 heat

Then what some magic can do...

Looks good enough imo...

Ok... some action photos

Honda Civics Si's everywhere... those K20s were a problem

VW Golf and an Integra Type R Right Hand Drive with alot more whp than us

But then again races are won on the corners

Winners Lap with the Checker flag

We got praised by everyone as to how the car handles on corners and how fast we exit them. Even with higher whp others were having a hard time catching up.

Awesome stuff, and congrats on the victory! That's some quality track-side bodywork

Congrats!!! Good work!

What do you guys think of this?

If im going to make a track build, why go for rebuilt title? Since rebuilts can legally go back on the road and be registered, theyre more expensive than non-repairable titles.

I was thinking of buying a non-repairable title brz (cant be registered) for pure track use only. Here are some pics

After fixing, could totally strip it out

Curious about the ChaseBays brake setup as I would like to eliminate my Power Booster and ABS. Just more interested in how it affects the computers/codes ect. or how did you get around those?
