Sweet! I hope to run my set-up close to his. My dyno numbers maybe surprise me

Some pictures of the rear caliper modification my friend did to fit his brakes (same as mine):

Here you go Brian!

Remember that the grind marks must run cross-ways on the caliper to prevent the formation of stress concentrations. Corksport's RZ kit instructions will have you grind them the other way; and while I haven't heard of any failing - I don't think anyone wants to be the first to have the calipers split while they're driving

Hubcentric spacer, notice the slight machining to get the rotor to fit.

Rotor sits closer than factory, so this area will need to be shaved down.

Hope this helps, Brian!

Nothing much to update:

Picked up a new oil cooler setup - FD + FC oil coolers - an old setup from a friend's racecar. I should also have my Sakebomb HID's in the coming weeks as well.

Started this year paying off loans and whatever I owe so I can purchase a home in 12 to 24 mo's. It's a bitch.

Also getting into desert racing, so money's found a new avenue of escape, lol.

Karate, Cars, Racing - what a drain!

I know what you mean about avenues of escape for funds... last year I put my FD rebuild on hold to jump out of an airplane, multiple times...

its fun... just hella expensive, even more so to start...

Did the El Toro Pro Solo this past weekend, threw on some brand new AD07's, so I had to break them in using 2 runs

These babies are nice, can't imagine what the AD08's feel like.

First lap, came through the last sweeper (which also included the finish) a little unsettled...

Didn't place too bad considering everyone else had hoosiers or some kind of race tire

I had absolutely no chance against Andy McKee's FD lol. My times were consistent so that helped out a good bit

After that, I finally got around to installing my Bi-Xenon's

Going to Spring Valley in Pahrump, NV 5/14, haven't been out on the big track since the accident!

Nice man... I'm jealous you have so many rotards to race with. I'm lucky if one or two show up for our events! I'm surrounded by vettes, STIs and miatas...

MaczPayne · 04-14-2011, 05:48 PM

There are only about 4-5 rotaries at the events, including a rotary powered sprite

FC3S Murray · 04-15-2011, 05:28 PM

looking great man!! I am gonna start SCAA this year after the LS1 dyno. Any tips or advice before i get there?

josh18_2k · 04-15-2011, 11:37 PM

if you're talking about autox... seat time, and focusing on the fact that slower is faster.
learning to autox a v8 rx7 is HARD. took me a loong time to dial back the right pedal.

in short, smooth as possible on throttle, and avoid sliding. its fun, but not fast, and is detrimental to driving skillz

MaczPayne · 04-17-2011, 12:19 AM

Biggest advice I could give is learn! Don't be ashamed if you make mistakes or come out slower than you'd expect. As long as you're willing to learn (ego left at the door!) you'll improve quickly.

Yup. The more you stay planted, the better!

MaczPayne · 05-02-2011, 03:08 PM

New addition

Prodigy · 05-02-2011, 06:45 PM

Those are matched very well...

Looks good...

Had rubbing issues I assume...?

J.

MaczPayne · 05-02-2011, 11:26 PM

Rubbing issues under hard cornering, would be fine if all I did was drive the car normally, but what fun is there in that?

josh18_2k · 05-03-2011, 01:35 PM

do those actually add any clearance? doesnt look like it.. but they do look cool

MaczPayne · 05-03-2011, 07:27 PM

20m, but not much, it's about as wide as my pull, but with more uptravel clearance
