How Will My RX-3 Handle?

Hi guys,

I am using a quicker front 1 and 1/8 sway bar along with a rear quicker bar, Frtont billstein coilvers whitch lowered it 3 inches and 3 inches lowering blocks in the rear. I am also going to run rear billstein shocks. The front's have camber plates and I am go to try and dial in -2 degrees of camber. The tires are going to be 205-50 or 55-R13's all the way around. I am also going to make a front and rear strut tower bars. How is this set up going to handle? I think it should do pretty good but I have 2 frinds with FC's that are turbo 88's. Am I going to be able to handle thrue corners as good as them? Or better? I am just wondering what you guys think.

I don't think that old POS will be able to hang with a T2.
But seriously, don't try to drive as fast as they might be able to. Just drive as fast as you can. Chances are that if they can't take full advantage of their cars and you can with yours, you will be able to outshine them. So when will that be up and running? I want to see it at Bremerton.

Well let me just say that the CSP National Solo2 Champion this year drove an RX-3. All NA 2nd Gens fit into CSP, as well as the the older Z cars.

^did you you read that, jerk. hhaaaa. just wait I think it will do good. I will be able to hang with you. Any ways I should be out there on the 23rd or 4th whenever that one is. Right now I cant drive it because it is so low that the wheels bend the fenders if i try and turn. It is coming along though. Also GT3, there are still like 5 rx-3's being raced in that too, and those are the true thing.

Driving skill set aside your car has lots of potential by simply weighing less than they do. You can set your suspension up similiar to a 1st gen if I'm not mistaken.

Damn! Power/weight gets me again. On 2/24 the Slush Series will be up in Everett. Maybe in March BSCC will start their season. Maybe one of these days they'll update their site. bscc.net
