I had a blast, however my times were not as fast as I would have liked. The car is basically setup for a large track, and in super low speed corners, the car liked to understeer, or get serious power over. I tried to link some of the corners in a drift as you saw, but the lines I had to take were tough. Just for some comparison, a stock rx8 running slicks ran about 7 seconds faster. He however is an experienced autox driver. This was my first autox, so yes the cones were alittle confusing at first
How soon do you see positive pressure, and full boost?
I said it before, and I'll say it again; that's a BAD *** ride

sides are RE skirts from shineauto. I see full boost around 3500, which isnt bad, kinda wish I would have gone 35r. Which may be a future plan. The turbo now is great for street use, and track use. But on those slow autox corners, I would really have to left foot brake alot to keep the power. It was also my first autox, so Im sure I could dramatically improve. Ill be doing another in October, so Ill be sure to post another vid

the one close to the turbo is my Hallman MBC, and the other thing is a home made catch over catch. I have a small coolant leak somewhere I havent found, so every month the overflow bottle will overflow alittle. So its used to catch any small spills. Got the idea from looking at alot RE- Amemiyas white track FD

haha I wouldnt say runs godly. It runs fine, till it gets hot, then for some reason my haltech keeps losing signal every few seconds for about 5 seconds then getting it back. So yes when running on the road its fine, sitting its a pain. I really want to rewire the entire car this winter. I was going to go with a dual oil cooler setup, but 20year old wiring is a pain, as well as my half *** wired e6k i did when I was learning. So I might be going with a the e8, and possibly installing a AIM dash unit. But well see
