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..

BTW to save pictures from a website like that:
go to FILE - Save Page as
Atleast thats how it works in Netscape

 

ITO congrats, don't tell my wife, but I am in love

 

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.

 

engine is revved to the rev limiter. 10,200 rpms.. before the launch. dynoed 310rwhp and 170rwtq all motor no nitrous..

 

thank you..

 

Kano the dream to finish the car has come to a reality. Now for the second journey..

 

ENJOY it!

Isn't it 310hp at the wheels on a 13B some sort of record without going full PP?

 

I'm not sure Kano. might be..

 

I know nothing about RX-3's but that is a neat looking drag car

 

GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!!!

 

What gasoline or is it methanol you are using? Anyway really like your RX-3!

 

ito glad to see you got that car running!!!

 

gasoline is vp 103 octane.. thanks lasse.. I'm looking forward into breaking that record..

 

thanks Enzo.. appreciated. by the way that autronic cdi box is working lovely... Rice Racing said I would like 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....

 

WOW !!! Is that your daughter driving ???
You were not kidding when you mentioned that she was big on rotaries........Look what you have done :-) !!!!!!!!!

Wishing you both Tons of Luck with the car and can't wait to see it in person....

Keep up the good work.

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?!

 

you^^^, have to much time on your hand

The car looks great, can't wait untill your get her tuned up good with the nitrous

 

Yeah, I was trying the Right click-space bar trick but that didn't work. It usually works to borrow pics

 

Awesome!! You are the MAN, Juan!!
