2nd Gen build Dream Team Roster
 
There seems to be quite a few "experts" on these boards and some not so, to put it lightly, so I figured I'd pose the question: If the club could build an all out Time Attach 2nd gen, who would we want working on the different aspects of the car? The categories are as follows;

- Engine build
- Engine tuning
- Suspension build
- Suspension set-up
- Body work (think aero)
- Track testing, driver

I'm curious to see who's earned the respect of the members and who to look for (with regards to answers) in future threads. Please, don't bash the ones who think they're capable-just explain why you think your choice is the right choice. This should be fun, so have at it.

As far as the engine build goes and if we must chose a single person then it's surely gonna be Kevin.

For tuning, one word. Kan.

BFGRX7 12-19-07 02:33 PM

RB Eater. You've got to finish! :-) For example;

- Engine build- Kevin
- Engine tuning- Steve Kan
- Suspension-?
- Suspension set-up-?
- Body work - ?
- Driver - ?

I'd say Max TEZTnTUNE for the tuning aspect. That man is a genius. And for suspension expert, Otaku really knows his stuff about suspension, ask him anything suspension related and im sure he will give you the right answer! :icon_tup:

Roen 12-19-07 02:42 PM

Engine build for power? There are a bunch of other builders who do make more power than Kevin, but he's great for budget rebuilds!

Driver? Look in Race Car Tech, and pick one of the junkies there.
Same with Suspension setup.

Engine tuning? Depends on what type of engine? NA? Turbo? Supercharged?

I guess Steve Kan for Turbo, dunno who for NA or Supercharged

Building suspension? Do we even have anyone here that builds?

RRTEC 12-19-07 02:48 PM

I like building my own cars... Driving my own cars.. And I really only enjoy dreaming about myself in my car, driving my car....

Turbo II 12-19-07 03:39 PM

Bryan from Rotorsports Racing (I can never remember his name on here damnit!) for all of it except the driving. I get to drive :)

But, I have to admit there are a lot of people on here that would make the list huge.

b18crx 12-19-07 04:02 PM

my drivings not THAT bad.... :rlaugh:

Funkspectrum 12-19-07 07:13 PM

Imma vote Karack for the engine aspect.

Tuning, I'd say either Karack or Steve Kan....

Driver, Carl Byck ftw!

djmtsu 12-19-07 08:21 PM

Engine: Kevin Landers
All else: me.

Do it yourself or GTFO.

Omixeo 12-19-07 08:48 PM

This thread should be epic.

djmtsu 12-19-07 09:01 PM

Yep. EPIC FAIL.

papiogxl 12-19-07 09:01 PM

I'm with RRTEC on this, I am my dream team.

fastrotaries 12-19-07 11:07 PM

I'll bring the beer, and point fingers and laugh...and bring more beer.

RB_eater 12-20-07 12:05 AM

Suspension tuning isn't that hard, just find me some scales.
I don't need mad tyte JDM bodywork.
I'm driving.

As for the engine build I mentionned kevin because he's probably the most popular choice here. If we go for all out power then I don't know. Few people have experience with 4 rotors. :)

eriksseven 12-20-07 12:06 AM

Probably want BDC to build the engine. Steve Kan to tune with Howard Coleman to advise... Other than that, I don't know. There are a lot of great resources out there. :) I could start naming names, but the "categories" above are too narrow... Most rotary-people have an excellent 'cross-section' of general and specific knowledge. :icon_tup:

pluto 12-20-07 01:01 AM

Most of you probably don't know that I have been road racing for 15 yrs. Either way, I vote for David Preece for driver. there's a chance that I might co-drive my friend's C6 Z06 next year in one lap.

So it's me, you and fastrotaries. I'm bringing the pretzels. Do you think we'll have enough beer?
