I wouldnt call a 350 whp FD lightly modded. Lightly turboed yes! Nice run!!
Car is not 350WHP, it is 319 FWHP! Map i am unsure of, AFRs apparently (according to a rolling road) are 10:1 sub 4k and 9:1 over 4krpm, but im not sure the car would even run that rich? In any case, it does run very rich, stinks of fuel, flames all over the place, uses a quarter of a tank a lap (yes you read that right) but doesnt blow up so im happy :) Pictures: http://photos-d.ak.facebook.com/phot...28347_1217.jpg http://photos-b.ak.facebook.com/phot...728345_669.jpg http://photos-c.ak.facebook.com/phot...728346_964.jpg Enjoy! |

BTW you need someone to tune that car. So you're making 310 FWHP with exhaust, IC and intake at close to 15 psi :scratch: Nice vids keep em coming. Get that car tuned correctly and I see a 7.45 in your future which is about the time a c6 Z would run on street tires from a standing start on the full course. |
Cool vid of the new Corvette ZR1: http://youtube.com/watch?v=2ikj90_Un0o

I see a 7:45 in my future with no traffic! Give me another 50hp and id make it a 7:30 :) i hope! lol. I'd be extactic with a 7:xx seeing as im just a computer technician! I secretly dream of being a racing driver though... seriosuly though, if a C6 does it from a standing start 15 seconds slower than the ZR1 does it with a flying start i will be gobsmacked! |

Fantastic!! You did a fine job of managing traffic and still keeping your lap times down.
I noticed you passed a bunch of sport bikes; I've had some tell me that I'd have troubles keeping up with sport bikes on the road... Roads with turns similar in speed to Nurburging. I've found that the bikers slow me down when I catch up to them. These friends BTW, were online buddies, but just last Sunday I happened to meet up with my best friend and 4 of his friends who invited me to follow along with them on their sport bikes. All of these guys go to track events pretty frequently, so they are pretty quick. I ended up passing two out of four of them rather quickly and the second was also holding me up. I was scared to push them too hard and see them get hurt though. What I'm getting at is I always thought the bikes could kick the crap out of the RX-7s, but from what I saw, that isn't true. In a straight line, yes, but we can catch up in a big damn hurry. :D Scooter :) No need to get involved in a car vs. bike debate here. |
EXCELLENT@@@
Now time to whore out the 7 on the NURB spanking all exotics!!! |
Great vid bobfish!
Edit: make that vids-- I love the FD vs. FD one too! |

I've no doubt a sub 8 will happen soon for you Carl, the trouble for both of us is finding clear track to do it with.
I haven't seen a clear lap for over a year now, time to sort some mid-week visits for us :) |
let me know max ill be more than happy to convoy over with you :)
|
that's some good videos bob, very encouraging to all rx7 owners i'm sure. you truly are fortunate that you get to drive on the ring as you please. all i can do is go play gran turismo now.

Guys,
Some videos of my last ring trip. http://www.youtube.com/profile_video...waspishbobfish If it werent for the MX5 and the 318 in the 8:01 BTG lap it would have been a 7 minute lap im sure... Spec of the car is stock twins standard ports running 1 bar. Coilovers, polybushes, v mount, 6 pot 330mm brakes and a couple other bits. Enjoy! |

At least the 'Ring has policies to keep most of the yahoos off the course. For instance, if you crash and force the course to be closed in order to clean up your mess, you're dinged for about $2000 for every hour the course is closed. Even if the safety car has to come out, you're billed for about $120 every 30 minutes it's on course. You also have to pay for any repairs to the track, including any guardrail that you screw up. This doesn't include the German 19% VAT, or any towing/ambulance ride fees. |
Nice ride.
You lost so much time because of the slow MX-5 after Quiddelbacher Höhe. You should put some bright yellow stickers and some blue flickering lights in the front of your car to get some clean air. ;-) Btw: I don't like the position of the camera in that video. Daniel |
