Dude, nice meeting you, and congrats on the new PB et!

Your car rocks, it hooks and go. Watching your car go through those first two gears is AMAZING!

Thanks everyone, this was the only full pass of the weekend... We smoked 2 corner seals on the rear rotor Friday, pulled the motor Friday night had it rebuilt by 3 am sat, had the car back at the track 3pm sat, first pass clutch slipping like crazy, learned/figured out my ram/act setup wasn't properly shimmed, by 4am Sunday had tranny back in and all together... Sunday morning made this pass, then since I was bracket 2 (10.0-12.0) dialed in 10.0 and played games for 2 rounds. Semi finals I lined up with team who beat me last year in the finals, their deadly consistent... We're talking within .01 -2 of dial in every time... Long story short on the gas in 3rd cracked the pumpkin, diff already has new pumpkin, gonna hit the dyno, then track and see if we can't make some more magic happen :-)

Those numbers on stock tranny and diff?!?!?!

You mentioned the lack of speed, but I had no idea it was that bad. Once again, congrats on the new PB.

Awesome run dude, I can't believe I didn't see it. Hopefully someone has a video of it to post up if you don't. So Jim says you can't shut up about the box, I thought that'd be your reaction

U running the oem corner seals? Did you crack them or just stuck em? What about the rotors, are they side clearances?

That RX-8 eshaft holding up ok? Carlos Lopez had advised me against using one a few years ago. Said they were snapping them pretty regularly in the Formula Mazda NA engines.

Well so far so good, but my tuner says his buddies back on the island haven't had any notable difference to the Fd shaft (failure wise)
So guess ill be a Guinnea pig, as iplan to abuse it! What kinda rev's those formula NA cars running? We keep it south of 10k, usally about 95

Not sure on max revs. But they're sealed stock engines, so they're not going to make many more revs than a stock RX-8 would.
