i better see some more rx-7s there next spring. i haven't been to vir since this feb and was dissapointed in the rotary showing. one instructor had a 2nd gen gtu with approximately 50 or so track events under it's belt, very impressive considering it was the stock engine and was rolling with 911 rs americas

Damn, 5 months to wait until I go back, winter is going to suck this year.

Don't top the oil off because the extra oil will be pushed up the oil filler neck and into the crankcase breather. It is then piped around to the intake on the front turbo where it'll be sucked/pushed into the IC and if enough oil gets in there it'll go right into the combustion chamber.

Ok, took 3 days, but I finally got all my pics uploaded. I only have pics of you (Section8) on the skidpad I guess. I never took pics of your group on track.
Here's a couple examples, there's a bunch more all right around these in the album:
Oh, and one of the C-GT

I've been told to overfill mine by a 1/2 quart for the track, and I've had this confirmed by several serious competitors...
I've never had issues with oil leaking into anything else as some others have suggested...
Looks like you had a ball!!

The dipstick from top full to bottom low is about 1 quart. I run almost a quart low on my stock FD or similar cars or I throw oil everywhere. On my single turbo track car I can get away with 1/2 quart low but still need to keep an eye on the catch can.
If I ran a 1/2 quart high I'd hate to even think about the mess that would cause.
If you and your competitors are getting away with this I commend you on your smooth driving and keep up the good work
