oh i thought you were referring to the bumper cover. i understand now. ideally a lot of us would love to keep it. mine is gone thanks to the greddy FMIC.

 

fawk.... carbon fiblar doors.

 

any time attack street car here?

 

give me about a year and one of mine will be....

i'm considering a P-port N/A build for one of the cars...

 

YES!!!

 

spread more japanese design/tuning influence in the US land =p

anyone else got any more pics or it just gonna be me? lol

 

agree and spread them, stop those fast and furious style type of moding

 

Oh snap! crazy japanese rocking their FC's with Knightsports spoilers... suuuweeeeeeet!!

 

I'd have to agree. too much rice in America, spread the time attack bug.

 

Time Attack is absolutely amazing , True poetry in motion!

 

well i just mean there is like a styling difference.. when something is performance built in japan, they also make it look sweet... Out here, its usually one or the other
Outside of japanese style tuning, put here I see alot of "track" cars and street cars that consist of very few upgrade parts or replica *cheap* parts, where as the other end, has mostly bling expensive but functional parts.

Alot of the japanese cars will have coilovers, an aggressive drop and big wheels.

Lets debate, between these 2 cars



If we could put them on the same track, which would pull faster times. It would be interesting. The Re Amemiya car, obiously has all Off the shelf bolt on parts, the other, probably more specialty race shop order parts.

 

That american race car is a ep car which is very spec limited and is a side by side racer, not a time attack. It has to run 15x7 wheels, an NA 13b, and can't run a spoiler, not even stock. These are american time attack cars....

 

give me a few more years. ill churn up a Time attack FC.

 

hmm thats a good statement.. time attacks dont seem very limited.. spec classes are usually car vs cars racing

 

clocks Tsukuba within 57 sec, and they're shooting for 56 sec now. RE A.'s fc only ran a best of 58 sec. Super*Now is only running a damn Knight Sports hybrid turbo, but their setup is well put together!

Super*Now is the sh*t!

I predict more fc owners will get into time attack. I would love to have more competitions.

And just to clarify, thetech's fc (blue fc posted above the RE A car) is now a time attack machine. That's one bad car.

 

if only i could afford a second fc to strip out and swap all the go fast goodies from my current car into. i just could never bring myself to ruin my immaculate interior.

 

Really? I thought RE-A only hit the 1 minute minute mark

 

Gymkhana is a lot more exciting, tight tracks, drifting and time attack integrated.

That FC with the Mazdaspeed FD fascia is amazing.

 

You're an idiot. Time attracks have rulles and classes just like every other type of racing. Since you are ona computer, google it, I bet you'll be amazed by what you find.

 

before you call me an idiot and "try" to insult me..

since we are mostly talking about japanese time attacks, go watch some option videos, most of the cars they run around tskuba circuit are of all different setups/configurations. Mostly unlimited

Just some pictures of the super now fc

 

thanks for the link aaron

dam




im in love with their rear end setup

FD rotors





check out the relocated LCA

 

No, that was their shake down time. After a few fine tune and changes they manage to clock 58.890 sec. I'm sure it has a lot more potiential in it, but I doubt they'll try to run it again after all these years.

 

I know its kinda off topic, but what body kit is that on the dark green/black FC with the knightsports rear wing?

- Chris

 

I hoping to get their soon. With FCs being older, especially my own, the body having alot of miles things begin to wear down. Motors, interior wiring is junk, suspension parts. Building a good time attack machine basically to me requires an entire car rebuild. Ive just begun a complete rewire, and removal of ALL stock wiring items. Also the step to time attack would basically put your car to track only. With solid mounts, stripped interior, cages, would not make for a fun daily. Engine wise, I would expect a fast time attack FC to need between 450-500hp. I think things get quite underestimated by some. Just some pricing figures

Engine: Im going to say total 5-7k, thats including your own engine building, but encompasses, ecu, fuel items, turbo items, cooling. This is for a good setup

Body: I would expect between 3-5k, with optional seam welding, and a good cage, track safety items. maybe interior paint (not really necessary) Weight reduction body parts, wide body, aero.

Suspension: The fun stuff, a well done car I would expect 1k to just redo the rear suspension, not including the diff. Front probably another 1k. Wheels with tires another 1-2k. Brakes (stock will work with race pads, and ducting) But most will need a full brake rebuild, so another 1k.

Im sure I have forgotten some items. Even with alot of your own building, from a private owner, thats not sponsor funded its quite a good chunk of change. But I think there is something special about a private owners build being a fast competitor. Shops will have the supplies, back up, and experience.
