Test track FD video

Here's a video my friends at http://www.imvfilms.com shot for me a few years, and a few mods ago. It was at a test track, basically a fast aurocross course, in FL. Check out their website too; high quality car video.

Nice. You might not want to stab the throttle so much coming out of the corners.

It's not the throttle stabbing, it's the boost hitting, and they wanted a little drama for the video. More rubber has helped that problem.

Don't know about the track, that was a private event.

In otherwords, yes you were stabbing the throttle rather than rolling onto the throttle, but it was for the sake of the video.

Well, since you're being technical. Several of the corners were slow enought that I was off boost coming out of them in 2nd gear (<3500 RPM), so it didn't matter whether I stabbed or rolled into the throttle, there was not enought power to upset the rear end.

But, I did not ease out of the throttle as boost built, for the sake of the video.

Thanks for the post. I think I was at Dynolabs when you dynoed the car a few years ago. Very nice set up and I thought I remember the car had rims on it or maybe my memory is fading since it has been a while.

Kuroi, Are you talking about the intake hose? It will not collapse, and you can read about it here.

https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...99#post1633699

FD3S2005, It is not a V-mount, just a more angled IC (Crooked Willow)

Tim, yes I was at dynolabs, I can't remember what wheels were on it at the time. Stock, Volk TE-37's, or CCW's.

Thanks for the feedback,

Alan

Fast cars can get to ~90mph on the straights there so I wouldn't bash it too bad

I didn't imply NOT fast, I meant NOT an autocross, not even close.

nice video.... no idea what i need to take my own video...

but don't u think u twisting the steering a little bit more than what normally racers should do ?

it's based on assumption and classes i took at F1 circuit that
we shouldn't turn more than 90 degrees left and 90 degrees right... remaining use the body weight transfer to slide into an angle u need
