lol that's funny about the tow truck drivers.

don't you guy shave those trick low down tow trucks like in Japan

 

i think my spiltter will be fine~ we dont have that tide of W2W of race in my class so i can leave plenty of space to protect my splitter

 

yep we do~ i use it all the time. but as long distance haul, that is 4 time more price compare to 8 car hauler

 

You can buy a used full-flat transporter for 1.5 million yen or so.

 

6day before loading to trailer , my stack ST-700 arrive , have to pay 20%import tax on this.,..,
Dam it... wish I know a friend from UK can just bring it in as carry on luggage....

Bought this on Japan yahoo auction for 1/3 of retail price , although look prettt beat up but carbon hatch only weight 1/4 compare to stock one I guess I can't complain
Plus with fresh coat of paint it will look new from distance (ﾟ∀ﾟ)

 

As. Back yard grassroot race team
How do u know ur splitter can hold up over 150mile straightway
Simplt ask ur friend who is over 200lb to stand on it !!!!!!

 

The first race of this season come to the end
Since I am stick with stock turbo , in order to get faster lap time, I decide to focus this session with aero

Once aerodynamic pioneer say "we found some thing for not thing " what he rephrase is the extra grip from diffuser

But since FD is unibody car is hard to design a proper diffuser ....
So I decide to build a functionional front splitter
The material I use is aluminum honeycomb plate

As u can see my last reply , and place very low to the ground only about 2.5inch to get cleaner air flow

 

Did you use alumilite? and how thick did you make the splitter?

 

A friend of mine which is one of the emergence tow truck driver in this circuit hooked us up with some tickets last weekend. I was really happy to see rotary enthusiasts in Tw. Definitely reignited my passion about this sport!

 

The complete of R1
Qualify sec , with minor machine trouble (scarmble boost none functions)
Behind EVO ,grid at third is a porsche 991 gt3
But even at rolling start my stock turbo power FD3S are no match to EVO and 991
But still a fun race

I might consider upgrade my brake too , with this type of unfair dog fight , I need sharper brake to give more pressure to front car

 

What's the clock time between you and the 991? That'll be all that matters

 

My fd clock 52.1 52.8
991. 52.7 53.8

 

yup FD is fast

 

Yep yep best FR in 25years and more
But still need people to drive at her home which is track not sitting stance or show car

 

I guess I get it lucky•••
I get my ride high with aero just right in just few session

At open day
First session I am scrape splitter at turn 2,3,4
Plus a lot of over steer there

Sec session so I adjust my ring wing from 12 degree to 15 degree, it instantly shift down force to rear so the over steer at hight speeds is reduce

Third session I adjust my blad swaybar to a bit soft to reduce lower speed under , during that session I still feel too much bouncing feeling on the rear rebound , cause the car to unsettle at throttle apply

So at last session I firm up my rear rebound of my quantum coilover by one turn , and front compression 3 click

This is all I did change for the weekend , even on new slick this setting work up pretty well too

 

can you share how you are controlling the oil slushing around at high g corners?

curious how the JDM race team do it, in the US we just run 2 big AN-10 lines from each side of the motor to a vented catch can.

 

Next time, stop by to say 😀

 

Beside a oil catch tank , I can't see any other things
Mabe they build a very special oil pan
Need to open up to see

 

just out of curiosity how did they route the catch can?
i do see some kind of catch can setup on alot of JDM FD, but it doesn't seem to work for us in the US, maybe i'm missing something.

 

Plan to really working the stock turbo out over 16psi , when climate is colder at R3/R4 of race

Decide to check overall condion of turbo

To my surprise , after 20hr of track time , turbo show little sign of wear, no sign of oil , min round out on the turbo

I guess what kill turbo is daily driving , that turbo keep spinning even off boost , that wear out the bearing , and the high EGT from the trap door

 

Knowing is power

Reading the plug today , even with cheap gas station 2 stroke oil the plugs still burn pretty good no funky deposit , even with 11 heat range
I think it read a bit rich is because I use too much A/I

and my stack timing beacon just arrive , finally can combine every thing at one gauge

 

Ouch they are dark. Normally the spark plugs must be Coffee with milk color. But maybe for racing if they are a bit darker is no problem safer for the engine

 

Better be safe at race condion
Specialy I use pump gas ( cant buy race gas here ) and the weather here can easy go over 100f!!

 

When some team spend most
Of race budget to hire trophy girl ,instead of try to improve them self………😢（look at this pic, u know who spend money on gril instead of car)
This is sad thing to see, but is very common here, I my self never hire one, I rather have my crew to share the moment with me
