Judgement Day is finally here!
Almost five years building my Rx3 Sp. This car is built for one reason. to run nitrous only and break some records.
first day testing the car went a little scary. The Rx3 would not run straight down the quarter mile. on every single run my kid had to lift off the gas pedal halfway down the track. Suspension needed to be adjusted all over.
on the second day.. yesterday I made some phone calls and got some technical tips on suspension adjustment, I did some adjustment and went for a cautious run. The Rx3 went straight and ran 11.22@122mph(no nitrous) on what I consider a cruising run. for the second test run I told my kid to go for the gold and put the engine on the rev limiter. she did but the car broke traction and we lost the run. that was the last run of the day.. track was loaded with cars.. I have found pics of the car online.. I'll have someone post them up.. so far so good. the car is being tested all motor no nitrous until I feel the car is running straight enough to apply the nitrous..
if someone could pull the pics from the website and host them on this thread I would appreciate it.. site is.. www.davemilcarek.com ... go to photo gallery of Atco Raceway.. you will see pics taking on 11-19-05 the pics are on page 2 and page 10...Mazda Rx3sp Judge Ito Racing..

Congratulations Judge Ito. I suspect I will live to see you achieve some of the goals you mentioned you would like to obtain with this car. It truly is a thing of beauty (and this is coming from a guy that loves Rx-2s much more than Rx-3s) 
Good luck and I hope to see more of it.
Good luck and I hope to see more of it.

Cool fuel you're using but i don't think it's optimal when using the engine as N/A but when you spray it sure is a must. Myself i have been dyno'd my stock 231 hp RX-8 with a 95 octane unleaded gasoline result 217 hp at flywheeel but when switching to Shells new Super V 99 octane the engine scream to 213.6 hp@9000 rpm good fuel there....

The page author sure went to a lot of trouble to keep people from copying his pictures...
Usually when you get the old Javascript "screw you!" box when you try to right click on an image to save it, you can get around this by just doing "PRINT SCREEN" and then open up Photoshop and make a new image and then paste the screenshot in. Follow up by cropping out the rest of the image so you just have the picture you want.
This guy went the extra mile and disabled the Print Screen button somehow in his code (at least it was disabled in my Internet Explorer)...
Simple solution...
Open up a new window of some other program and position the new window so that it doesn't block your target pic... now with the new window (notepad.exe or whatever) on top, hit Print Screen. Because it's not being blocked in Notepad.exe, it will take the screenshot and also capture the target pic you want behind it
Oh yeah... when can we see the dyno?!
