Another vid from the end of this year. This time at Shakespear County Raceway. 9.69 second pass with a few changes to the suspension and tyre pressures we eventually ran another 9 sub 10 second passes that weekend. Oh... Tim already said that... am I just gloating??

The RX8 box is stock guys im afraid nothing weird going on in there, The only thing I dont know is what final gear they are using in the diff.
AnthonyNYC the pictures you posted is of Gary Gooding tubbed (Purple) FD on its shakedown runs its has the same veilside front as Chris Impeys (Green) FD.
Garys Tubbed FD has just been built and has not gone full boost yet.
So Chris's FD specs as I know them
13B REW BridgePort
HKS T51KAI turbo
850cc 1680cc
Aeromotive 1000 pump
Microtech ECU
custom intercooler
WI of some form
Gasoline fuelled
IRS
Air suspension
RX8 gearbox (standard)
The only details I know on Garys tubbed FD is a massive GT47 type turbo on a mix and match 13B RE\REW engine,Motec ECU.
I do have engine pics of both cars , I will post them up when I find them

Thanks for sharing this info! The unsung hero in all of this, though, IMHO, is whoever tuned this beast. I would LOVE to see a 1.8 bar run on the Dyno. I love the specs and pics and vids posted so far, but man do I want to see some graphic content, if you know what I mean. I bet the graph of the powerband on that is a thing of beauty.
