looks good dude....arg...im jealous :P

 

Any larger desktop size on track images to share?

Nice car, btw.

 

K28 in 18x10? What offset? How could that fit in the fender...especially the front ones? I'm no good at rims size and everything, but that seems so cool. How big are the tires?

 

Ignore that pesky yellow car and check out the phat red one behind it. That's mine.

 

actually yeah, they were all hi res imaghes, i made them smaller for the net, do you want some posted that are desktop size?

 

hahah nice clayne :-)

 

Info on foko's car pre-Damian, from his original for sale thread:

--
I'm selling my beloved RX7 track car to go wheel to wheel racing. The car is well sorted and very fast. It is well known in the California track community. Yellow on black, 55K miles on chassis, about 4K miles on streetported single turbo motor. Transmission is freshly rebuilt with all new bearings and syncros.

Conservatively tuned, it dynoed 310 rwhp at 0.7 bar of boost and 370 rwhp at 1 bar. Main equipment list is shown below. For reference, best lap times for me in this car are 1:45 at Laguna Seca, and 2:05 at Thunderhill.

The car is streetable if an emissions solution is applied to it. I haven't bothered.

This is a turnkey trackcar....take it to the track and be fast tomorrow

yes 18x10, sorry dunno offset, but i get no rubbing even in the front with full steering range of motion, i believe foko (porevious owner) had the fenders rolled as a precaution (not cuz they rubbed) and did a great job in setting up the suspention just right

 

thanks clane :-)

 

Love looking at FD's , sweet cars man.

 

thanks :-)

 

how much did you pay for that sweet banana FD??
thumbs up for me!

 

lets just say foko let me take it for a very good price since he knew I was going to use it the way it was ment to be :-)

 

I agree, you car is awesome. Hopefully one day, I will get my car sorted enough to get it on the track.

Matthew Walsh.

 

The only sorting you need to do to an FD are reliability mods, monitoring gauges, and pads.

Granted, you will not driving it full-bore the entire time without an upgraded IC, singleT, and brakes, but you can definitely drive it fairly hard on the track with stock suspension, stock tire widths, etc.

 

agreed!!!!

 

I haven't been on as much lately, but how does it compare on the track to your other car?

How's the brakes, fade any?

Tim

 

omg, not even comparable to my other car. full two day event at RA (the brakes killer) and a full 3 days at MAM and didnt bleed the brakes yet, these big reds just dont fade, there is to much mass there to absorb heat, and i have air passing under the oil cooler ducts into that area so even at repetative threashhold braking they would proabbly not fade. also, we are talking 285 tires vs 245, full racing coilovers vs stock shocks-eibach springs, full racing anti-sway bars vs stock, ... so the grip on the yellow car is an order of magnitude more that the blue car.... and we havnt got to power yet, with the yellow car I have 40-50 more hp to play with than the blue car, and that is at 12lbs boost, at 15lbs it has like 80-100 more!!! but i am keeping at the wastegate spring right now (around 12lbs). I pulled on almost every car in the straight at MAM...im sure the panoz would beat me, but i never lined up against him, and im sure there were a few modded cobra Rs that could have pulled on me but i never was on the straight with them either. I am discounting exit speed here, I'm talking me exiting ontot he straight at a lesser speed then pulling on them, so im not talking pulling on them cuz i exited better/faster....that changes everything.

 

That would be money.

 

Nice car !!!! Thumbs Up for Ya Damian!

 

thanks :-)

 

Nice setup... love the vids!! what camera mount are you using?

 

for external, 3 suction cup mounts to triangulate the camera

 

Ditto's on the car and videos!! Also notice the full face helmet...beats the half face look....

 

18x10 +51 all four corners, orginally ordered through Rishie/ARD T2 IIRC. A +51 in a 18x10 is pretty much the only thing that will work in front, and requires the smaller diameter springs of coilovers (this is true of the front, but not at the rear - but then again, no one would be mixing coilvers with stock style springs hehe). It's a setup milesbfree (Steve Cirain), maxcooper and others have as well.

Good to see the cars like that of foko and Wael end up in the right hands!
