We want more, dammit!

 

Ok,
There are 2 more available, soon.

One from a friend's BMW M3, when he passed my car after 1,5 rounds.
And one from the race made by another friend.

But I have to contact them first to get the material.
A soon as I got it, I'll put it online and let you know.

Hope I don't have to wait till the next season to meet them.

 

I just added some photos from my Stock Car vehicle.

If someone is interested in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4ROts8nMR8

Videos from my race car will follow as soon as I get them (Should be next year ).

 

23A, huh? Anyone else catch that? Can was say 4 rotor using two 12A's?

That is an awesome number to have.

 

I just found some more or less nice pictures from my Race RX7 under construction.
A friend took them with his mobile phone.

So here they are:

 

Here some pictures of my autocross car from its first race this season.

It was a hard race....

 

your car is truly awesome. i assume you moved the radiator to the back window? how well does that work for yah. pics of your exhaust would be cool.

 

What did place did you get in.......

 

The radiator:
Yes I moved the radiators to the back. I did this on my Stock-Car vehicles and continued the same way on my other race cars.
1) I have more weight on the rear axle.
2) The heat gets faster out of the engine compartment.
3) The radiator is better protected from dirt and in case of an accident.
4) There is more space to work on the engine.

The exhaust of the autocross car:
It is a 2.5" tube from the racing collector at the front to the straight trough muffler at the end.
I have some pictures that I could post, if I'll find the time.

The exhaust of the race car:
There are two 2.5" pipes connected to a self made collector with 2 straight trough mufflers on each pipe lying inside the car (passenger side) with a protection.
This car was originally designed for autocross (before we I made it larger).
If I’ll find the time before the next race, I'll do the same for my actual autocross car.

 

Sorry I don't understand your question

If you want to know in which place we finished?
We were (only) 6th out of 66.

 

Thats what I wanted to know. Not too bad at all!!!!

 

It should have been better.

We had the fastest car on the track, but 2x 1.5 hours is a long distance to go.

The 2 axles were broken and we had major cooling problems because our exhaust pipes got damaged (flat) which finally made that our engine broke too.

So there is a lot of work do be done before the next race.

 

Here some pictures from the exhaust system of the Autocross car.

 

Last weekend we raced our 12A bridge port engine for the first time.
It was a 4 hour endurance auto-cross race.

We had only 3 days to build the engine.
It worked great, but it had too much power for the small circuit.

I'll post some pictures and a small video a.s.p.

 

Here some videos from the first Autocross Race with our new bridge ported engine.

Update!
Here some pictures of the new design of our exhaust.
We had to change it because it broke at each autocross race due to the reinforced axle, which is a little bit higher than the original one.
Now the end of the exhaust system is inside the car, no chance to break once again.
I’ll post some pictures of the inside setup later.

 

You are a serious racer. I love the videos and have to say thank you for giving the Rx-7 name a very positive view in the race industry. You sir, properly represent the car and show that Mazda can build a mean sports car. You also show tremendous talent as a builder/tuner and I absolutely love both Rx-7s.

 

Thanks for the flowers

 

Update 2!
Here some additional pictures of the new design of our exhaust.

 

A small video of my running but broken bridge ported engine.

It is has very low compression.
It don't start with the starter any more.

wow i can't believe how far back your oil cooler is. sitting behind you in the seat. I hope that none of those hoses get cut, hot oil on you isn't going to be good.

 

No problem with these hoses.
I run them since years in different races, even stock-car.
They are metal reinforced for hydraulic application and can take up to 150bar (2175.57psi)

I do this to protect the coolers and to get better weight balance.

 

sound liek a monster man..good work
