Mine is C5ETR

 

Holy Crap you could eat off that car its so clean. Although i am sure you don't want any food or such on the paint.

This is the way Mazda should have built this car in the first place IMHO.

Glad to see it turned out A+ David!

David with your staggered front/rear tire set-up, is the understeer up front very noticable? Or does the added weight of the 20b in front kinda balance things out?

 

wow this thread is still going

 

Nope, haven't noticed too much understeer at all. The car drives well and appears to be well-balanced.

David

 

when you gonna be in west palm again??....id like to come by the shop and check it out when the final tune goes down.....

 

What size are your rear tires? I'm running 315/35-17 but they seem a little to chunky.




Sorry I did'nt search, but it's a big *** thread.

 

PULEEZE log everything AND videotape the special parts. i.e. steering gear. motor mounts, trans bolt-up, and intercooler setup. I presume you will have the battery in the passenger side storage compartment for better balance as well as more room up front. Also I'm guessing you'll do a dual oil cooler if you haven't already.
I LOVE these conversions because they give that FD chassis the power it deserves (W/O stressing the engine)and BECAUSE IT CAN KICK PORCHE AND FERRARI BUTT!
Hunt down a new Ferrari 450 Modena and SPANK it!

 

That should happen around the second week of January. I'll post the the date when it gets a little closer.

 

I'll do this in a few weeks. You are correct with your comments above though.

 

god i bet you are so happy! Merry christmas!!

 

Happy New Year!

Hope all is well in the land of the rotor (and V8s for some of you). Wanted to let all of you know that I'll be heading back down to Pettit Racing this Wednesday and Thursday for a final tuning and dyno session.

I've now driven the car a little over 1,000 miles - things are going great with the engine setup and the Wolf EMS. Chris from Wolf USA has solved my only problem to date, cold start. It took way too many cranks to start the engine and the colder it got, the longer it took. Chris adjusted the starting enrichment for me and it now works like a charm.

The car is extremely smooth and running well. I've done multiple data logging passes and am pleased with the results. Also pleased I've avoided a ticket while doing this. The cops have been out in Jacksonville and nothing like a black RX7 streaking by them to garner attention!

I'll take the camera with me for pics and also to video a few of the dyno runs for all of you. See you soon with results.

 

^^^ coo man

glad everything is all in good

yeh post some pics and dyno results

David: If you need any of the video files hosted when you get them done please feel free to shoot me a PM and I'll be more than happy to do so for you.

 

I'll take you up on this. Thanks.

David
