Wow man nice driving :)

What times did you pull on that track? I pulled a 1:12 on the RX8 with the intake/exhaust/and coilovers. The last event (this video) wasn't timed but the car felt faster without the cat and the colder track temps.

Last time out I was turning 1:08 and 1:09 laps consistantly. Here is a 1:08 lap I ran about a year ago.

My brother has run a 1:14 lap with his gutted/coilover/slick tire/ 112hp MR2.

So has this car been turbo'ed? And what tires were you on?

[dezodwest]

Not turbo'd yet. Running NA while I get more familiar with the car and complete the custom turbo build. That run was on Nitto Invo tires. 245/40/18 front, 275/35/18 rear. They're high performance summer tires. I think with R compounds the car would be a lot more planted on some of the lower speed turns.

You got that right. R compounds made up seven seconds on my brother's MR2 and 4 seconds on an STi I run with on Firebird West.
