Non-turbo 428rwhp FD build up and history
#476
So I finally figured out how to transfer some old videos to youtube and edit them. This was two years ago, open track day. Not going all out on the car, but its cool to get an idea of in-car

I like the in car footage, you only change up gear once the entire lap!

Yeah I figured it was only a open track day, no need to downshift more than that. Technically it would have been faster if I went into 2nd on those two hairpins.

I'm going to be honest, I'm only down a little over one page in this thread so far, but WOW!!!
I'll try to read through the rest of it this week, but I want to take my time so it can soak in a little bit. Many of your ideas and projects can't cross over to my own applications, but I'm impressed with your dedication and how far you will go to meet your goals.
Mad respect for this build...

^ You mean you missed the part where the V8 Rx-7 guys came in telling us how much better their engines are than ours? You'll get there. I'm not even an N/A guy, and this is my favourite thread on the entire website. I always look forward to updates.
Keep up the good work Logan, and don't let the haters sway your commitment!

I may run with MORPCA at Mid Ohio in April, but likely my first weekend will be with Norther NJ PCA in May. They're both really well run events by great groups and are welcoming to all car types.

I'd really appreciate that. Just shoot me a PM when you figure out your schedule if you would, or post here and I'll see it.

^ You may want to see a video of Logan on the Tail before committing to this. He's the fastest legal (read stays in the lanes) driver on the Tail I have ever seen. And that was with his measly 3-rotor. Now that he has his 4 rotor track setup car, I'd put money on him all the time.
An you are right, he's also a very very good driver

I don't own a Porsche and track my FD. I run with the PCA because they're well run events, have a nice group of people who are accepting of all cars, and mostly because my brother is a national PCA instructor so we go to the events together. Unfortunately my FD can't keep pace with his GT3, but I'm always working on closing that gap.

U are right, measly 3 rotors are for little girls. Especially when you have to add a turbo. :-P

P.S. just kidding of course. Dont everybody get all riled up again!!!!

Wow, lots of arguing around here about V8s and rotaries. Seems like all parties enjoy starting ****, though.
Anyway, your work is impressive, as always. Keep it up. Sounds like you're a good wheelman, too.
Oh, and BTW, that TT LS/FD has the same ground clearance up front as a stock FD. I can take a pic with a measuring tape when it gets back from the shop doing the rear end work. That is an early picture, the housings have been modified since. Speaking as a fabricator on it, my everything hurts after putting it together.

Logan in your experience, does adding more rotors in itself lead to more high rpm instability? For example, everything else being equal would a 2 rotor be safer at 10k than a 3 rotor? I was always under the assumption that was true, so just wondering if a 4 rotor would be inherently more "wobbly" (for lack of better words) and need extra bearing support?
