got my professional pictures in from the track day, and here's some more pictures we took of the day:

rx7 drove 300 miles to road atlanta, drove 125 miles on track, and drove 300 miles home.

in our posse was me (rx7), moody (6spd supra), trenton (turbo auto supra), matt cole (turbo miata), roommate david (e46 M3), pauly (rx8), and robert (turbo FC)

videos here, pictures below:

later in the day, video of mostly me and moody


earlier session, view from the turbo miata:


roommate's E46 M3




i hope you enjoy the pictures.

my roommate was substantially faster than me. i think he ran a 1:45 or so. i was running low 1:50s...

the black supra was probably also around 1:45. he was pretty fast.


the weather was pretty cold, so the tires weren't very predictable for me, and several people crashed that day, so we were all taking it easy, except for my roommate in the e46 M3, who was hammering 5 seconds faster than us...

i have some RPF1s now with 265 RE11s which should have a lot more grip than the 225 RS3's i was running. i am excited to go again. our next even is going to be at Barber in march, i think.

Mhmm looks good with the RPF1's! That Supra is hot. Any info on that black Miata by chance? I'm currently "building" one myself.

the black miata is my good friend, roommate from college.

the setup is basically a gt28 / AEM / fmic / wilwoods, makes about 250whp. pretty sweet little car. here's a build thread (you should be able to see it her without logging in):

well guys, i havent updated this thread in a while. it's been stupid cold outside, especially for tennessee. they actually cancelled school here because it was too cold. haha.



anyway, i'm going to do some substantial changes to the car, which will include selling my very nice turbo setup in order to "blaze the trail," as they say, and try out one of the EFR internal wastegate turbos.

this setup made 342whp on a heartbreaker Dyno Dynamics dyno at 11.5psi:

I love that down pipe man. I'm going to tie my wg into my down pipe as well. Try to keep her quieter for the street. Vids were great! Looks like you guys had a blast!

thanks elliot.

as elliot alluded to, i sold my nice precision 6262 setup to a forum member, and i'm now going with a Turblown shorty manifold and a borg warner EFR 8374 internal wastegate turbo that i purchase through Turbosource.com for the lowest price i found on the internet.

here are some pics from turblown:




i'll post more pics this weekend when all my parts arrive

everyone seems concerned with the tach! haha

it is broken (the common FD solder joints) and it works intermittently.

i just purchased a working stock tach, which i will be replacing this weekend.

Now if we could only get a small frame IWG EFR to fit with air pump/emissions in place.



Looking forward to see how this setup works for you! Its what i wanted to do but am hamstrung due to tight emissions in my state.

Pretty sweet manifold. I wonder if it will be half the cost for half the materials

I wonder if this manifold would be chassis universal as long as an efr was used
