I can sometimes hear the cars that usually run there but not in this case. The track has closed down a couple times over the last 2 years I'm surprised they still hold Formula D there. Especially when we have 2 separate road courses in the state.

Meh, maybe next year. I went to ECB which was the weekend prior and had an awesome time. The new track side bar is ****.

Everything that's happened to this car since you've gotten it has made it worse

Didn't break anything, but the setup was so different it took me all of the first day to get truly comfortable with it. The biggest thing was how much further the car traveled with the extra power. I had to plan ahead a lot more than NA. By day two I felt pretty comfortable in it though.

Both these cars are built by SHOOK MOTORSPORTS

Haha for sure. I am not all about them, but I borrowed them from a friend and they are better than sport max or MB Motoring or whatever.

ilia: Are you running a full Turbo II drivetrain, and anything done to the motor? Cool to see you turbo swapped.

They're not even good pictures... tell that photographer they need to step their photo game up before trying to be all professional about ****.



The car looks fun though! I am jealous of your getting to drive a convertible. Does it suck to drift or does the chassis feel about the same as a regular FC?

My first time out drifting in new car since my 240 drift car was stolen.
RX7 are WAY different than 240's. Still working all the bugs out, mainly my abilities!

Why does your intercooler sit so high? Do you have an undertray and ducting to bring fresh air to the radiator and oil cooler?

Yes, I have an undertray that does a great job ducting air to oil cooler and rad.
