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.

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:

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?

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

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.

surprised to see that nobody has brought up carlbyck..... for driver,tuning,suspension,bodywork....... basically hes the team lol. -mike

building and tuning. Crisspeed

RETed for alot of shit. He does alot of work with FC's primarily, use him for suspension, brakes, tuning, and shit like that.

emissions - Hailers.. LOL

really tho, I am not speaking for everyone here, but here is MY dreamteam (which is the people I actually used...)

Engine - Turblown
Turbo - Turblown
Tuning - YawPower
Suspension - FJB ltd
Coatings - Polydyne
Body work - Haven't got there yet
Driver - ME!
Parts - MazdaTrix, Digi7ech, other members
Coors Light and Black and Milds - NMJ87T2

LOL, turblown.

For engine building and tuning and the turbo, http://www.azrotaryrockets.com/

Nah, I don't know shit...
Some of these names scare me, but I was told not to say bad things in this thread. :D


-Ted

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

Imma vote Karack for the engine aspect.

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

Driver, Carl Byck ftw!

Engine: Kevin Landers
All else: me.

Do it yourself or GTFO.

This thread should be epic.

Yep. EPIC FAIL.

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

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

^I want him in my team.

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. :)

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:

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.

He's got my vote as well!

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

I think that the build would have to be from alot of people besides just one. Its like someone does a damn good port job, but dosn't assemble a short block that well, or vice versa.

Who can port but not reassamble the engine afterward? It's not like there's any secret to it.

If I needed a ringer to build, tune, drive the car, it would be you...hands down.


-Ted

Me.

I build my own cars.

This should prove to be an interesting thread!

Some people use different techniques that are usually either more or less reliable than others, or make more or less power. Or it could be what services they offer, or are equipped to do.

You guys forgot what really matters........almost as much as the beer.

Monster

Amemiya-san for anything?
The Mazda dude who oversaw developement for the 787B, I forgot his name, I'm sure we could use his input.

this is basically a free advertising thread for people to plug their businesses and affiliates.

So either it'll get moved to the FS section, or the mods are gonna start charging $300 per post in this thread. ( want 10% for the idea)

Build - Mandeville Autotech
Tune - Steve K
Suspension & Braking - Tri-Point Engineering or Rishie
Setup & Driving - I'd call Randy Pobst

I realize half these people aren't on the forum but if you want the best...

No time or money to waste thanks.

I'll never run out of beer. I don't care if I have to brew it myself.

dont know if hes on the forums but the track manager at Myrtlebeach Speedway knows his way around the suspentions biuld. cant remember his name right now. some of the crap he was telling my to do if i wanted to make my FC a track mechine confused the hell outta me all i could do was sit and nod like a retard. lol

Uh, WOW! Funny, but I was seriously expecting the colorful responses. This is good stuff. Sty lemon, I'm thinking, so long as none of the "chosen" start advertising their skills and just let their clientele do the talking, we'll be fine. RETed-hell of a job you're doing at being, well, nice! ;-)
A lot of guys are basically saying that they would be a part of that dream team. That’s cool and all but my point was to identify the guys that possess knowledge beyond the typical forum member and had a business, or were professional racers-not that I’m bagging on the ones that are not. Hey, sometimes we all get stumped and need someone to turn to. Thanks for the info.
~M

That is why this forum is here. Right? :)

Of course! My point is even some of the most advanced people on here may get stumped and would need someone to turn to. Once you think you're not in need of help is when you stop becoming better at whatever it is you may do.

~M

It only got that way when you and your shameless plug showed up.

I was thinking it'd be a good idea to get some info from the people who won unlimited RWD in nasa this year. In the FD. As far as engine building and tuning etc.

Didn't the people at mazdatrix build a really fast road race rx-7? I'd ask them about suspension.

Then as far as body work, i'd pick only oem, mazdaspeed, AWR or RE-A parts. We already have good aerodynamics from the factory right?

Then I know someone local who does fucking excellent body and paint work, to make it pretty.

Uh...ok...

Do I have to be mean to you or something?



-Ted

oh, so the 10 post ahead of me that named shops, tuners and friends did what different than me...?

You and your chronies are pathetic. Like a pack of Hyenias.

If theres no women and children for you to beat at home, you jump on the internet and slug away...

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas! :)

B

:rlaugh: I need more popcorn!

Bdc! Ftw!

shows over cause I'm done messing with those guys. I dont care what they say from here on out. I dont have the life to waste dealing with that crap....

Naw, I just beat people at the drag strip...

Want a tissue?
