Looks like it will favor POWAAAH!! Maybe I should bring the P71 instead of the RX-7? It's the last autocross of the year though...

josh18_2k · 10-09-2008, 12:36 PM

I'll always be up for co-driving that beast!

I'll bring my 7 for it's last hurrah before going down for paint. Half the paint on the ass end actually flaked off!

Or I can and give feedback.

Bring the 7 and just try to out accelerate the power guys earlier in the turns. Let's see how the lil 7 does! What will you modify for next season?

P71 · 10-10-2008, 06:38 PM

You coming Adam? Sweet! I can bring the sample copy of the article

Phoenix,
I usually autocross the RX-7 (I've taken the P71 twice, once just to try it and the other time when the 7 was on jackstands getting a new clutch). With the new tires I've been able to embarrass a lot of higher-HP cars, but it's still down on power to really crack the Top 10 in class and overall like Josh does. So far the pile in the garage includes a RB street header and pieces for a custom 2.5" exhaust, an electric fan, and some non-essentials (gauges, driveshaft loop, brakes). I'm also looking into rebuilding the Nikki, adding a carb hat with a CAI and cone in a box instead of the metal pan, removing all of the emissions/vacuum/smog crap, changing the radiator, and rebuilding the rear LSD. All on top of the bodywork, paint, and interior re-do!

adam you're more than welcome to co-drive with me!!

Phoenix7 · 10-10-2008, 07:08 PM

hey, you guys have cameras? I wanna see you both rock the last race of the season!!

P71 · 10-11-2008, 09:38 AM

Of course we have cameras

Adam does damn good at getting action shots, I'll try to talk him into it again...

afgmoto1978 · 10-11-2008, 07:06 PM

Sure, I'll also bring my pencil camera for some on board video.

Phoenix7 · 10-11-2008, 07:26 PM
