Any other impressions on the bushings? Do you think they were worth it? Any plans for rear control arms?

I think they are worth it, Not sure on the rear arms yet.

If you order from JSC Speed let them know I sent you.

Thanks,

I really hope not, I am already spending more then I wanted too on the car.

Pressure wise I have no idea, I noticed the guys from CA running 40psi. Maybe start there and adjust it?

I am still waiting for my RPF1's to get here, should be this week. Then I can mount up the Z2's.

Did you go with the 35 or 45??? Mine goes thru a major transformation next week with al the bushings, tune and exhaust.. all the parts have been in my garage for the most part since Dec... too damn cold...LOL.. yeah will probably start them out around 40 and do the 1.5 pound split my car likes to start with.. and see where we are from there. Big thing for me..as I plan to keep this thing long term. so its just a matter of time before I complete Everything allowed as per the rules.. LOL

I got 45 and H&R 5mm spacers with studs.

I am lucky to work at a garage, my parts go on right away :happy0180:

good luck in Dixie.

How did you do in your class with the few mods you had last season?

I was definitely slower than I was in the Rx8. Hopefully it will be faster now with everything I have.

Thanks, the Z2's feel Awesome so far. I can't wait to try them.

I think my new co-driver and I are going to the tour in Ohio.

Looks awesome. The 255 Z2s look a lot wider than my 245 PSS.

Awesome! Nice driving & I LOVED that course!

How often were you on the limiter? I told my tuner I wanted to bounce off limiter, but I found out in Dixie, it did a hard fuel cut--dangit!

Thanks, I built the course.

I was on the limiter twice 65mph steady.

Were you on e85 for Dixie?

GTB/ZR-1 03-18-2013 10:58 PM

Yep, e85

Cool, same hear.

If your tuner can't fix the limiter, give Moto-East a call he definetly has it figured out.

That NNJR course looked like fun. What camera are you using? I used my gopro silver yesterday for the first time and was a little disappointed in the quality at 720p at 60fps.

wgnzlz 03-25-2013 09:21 PM

That looks like so much fun. I can't wait to give AutoX a try. The problem is I'm already a nervous wreck and I haven't even picked a date to go.

GTB/ZR-1 03-25-2013 09:40 PM

Nice job driving & looking ahead--well done!

My co-driver and I built the course, that lot is a good size and really grippy when it is warm out.

Go Pro Black 1080P 60fps, but you loose the quality on you tube

Thanks,

The car was pushy at Meadowlands and loose at Warminster.

I was 1st in class and 8th in Pax at Meadowlands,

1st in class and 4th in Pax at Warminster

More work to be done, and hopefully warmer weather.

Thanks, I am still working on it.

Now we just have to get you out to try AutoX. I will be at Hershey saturday and sunday April 6-7. If you come out, I can instruct you.

Simmons

AllDayJonRay 03-26-2013 10:23 PM

I've only been to an AutoX once, but it was a blast. Drove my friends NA '87 rx7, with 130k+ stock suspension (blown rear struts to boot), and it was still close to the most fun I've ever had in a car.

I've never been into suspension mod'ing, but now that I've got a car basically built for it, I should try making it out some time.
