Have you had a chance to check out the Ronin Speedworks widebody set? I like it much better than the rivet style fender flares.

That was my plan originally but they don't have the hole for the fuel door. I don't plan on having the rivets. I'm thinking of blended in but keeping the bulge look instead of a complete blend in.

Hmmm.... low compression 8.5 rotors to run more boost without AI. What you guys think?

Yes... yes I do.... The plan is to take down the top time attack times, even the Innovate Subaru.

Some updates... Finally got around to bringing the car to the shop and pulling the motor. Then tore it apart. Driving down to New York tonight to get Jonathan to do his semi-pp magic to the rotor housings... Ignore the leaves, the car was left outside over the winter lol

Trying something new.... Custom super low compression rotors arrived for the 20b. 25 psi on pump gas? Question is though, can I get the car ready in time for CSCS...

Cool! Do you know what the new effective CR is??? Some scalloping for the intake would have gone very nicely with that...

No idea what new cr is, it's something below 8.5 obviously. I could have done the scalloping but I think with the semi's the difference would have been negligible.

Nice pictures. Ya to bad you didn't make it to CSCS. I have not been to a CSCS event in years. My god it was packed. there must have been 1000's of people. The new format at the DDT is not very spectator freindly. I wonder what it will look like in a years time.

There was only one RX8 and one FC out there.

I'm not sure if it was mentioned but how much wear did you notice on the internal engine components from the season of track abuse?

There was no wear thanks to good old premix.

On another note though, my intake is finally done and on the way!
