I went fast this weekend.... it was awesome! 90+MPH entries all day untill I broke some stuff.....lol well worth it!
Attachment 756249 the car will be down for a while. the damaged list is as follows. Fried clutch Blown up T2 lip ( a field jumped in front of me out of no where) potentially bent shifter fork ( lost 5th and reverse somehow) the motor was breaking up BAD towards the end of the day. ( I think it was fuel starve... not sure why) somewhow developed a MASSIVE exhaust leak. and im pretty sure even with a pinion snubber and a brand new front diff mount that I broke it. got teriible wheel hop and driveline shutter halfway through the day. ready to teardown and rebuild! im driving again in november so I have a litlle bit of time to fix everything. |

Sounds like you had a heck of a track day! Good luck with the repairs
|
thanks man, not much left now. all the hard stuff is done like robbing parts off the rx8. only thing left is to get the trans situated and throw it back together! hopefully it stays in one piece for my next event because im driving it there 3 hours away, its not a very demanding track though so im not too worried..... even though last year I blew the trans in the 8 and somehow drove it all the way back.. lol
|
Nice im looking to get an fc too for drifting and keeping my rx8 relatively stock for the most part

word of advice though, I had this clutch paired with an aluminum LW FW from racing beat and it did not fair well against it... got a bit warped and chewed up pretty bad. I guess I should have thought about that first before pairing the two haha oh well.

^^^ looks like a good time!
I feel you on the uhaul trailer nonsense. I've been renting and messing around with uhaul's car trailer for the last year since I've got no place to store a trailer... but I'm so over it and have been looking for a deal on a trailer to scoop up. Looks like you got yourself a real nice trailer! Keep up the good work in the off season! |
thanks man! yeah I got that trailer for $1100 so im extremely happy with the purchase, should pay itself off by the end of next season
|
Wow 1100 for what looks like a solid trailer with a tire rack , total come up.
