Updates, and Improvments

After  Road Atlanta, we took some time to go over the new RX-8. So far we had been concentrating on the suspension and handling package.  I’m starting to really trust the car on track, as it really dose have amazing performance!

With the handling getting dialed in, its time to make some other improvements for the upcoming summer rounds. More HP! and more cooling!

Turbonetics is taking care of the HP, with there GTK 550 ceramic ball bearing turbo.

And Mishimoto is handling the summer heat with a new double pass aluminum radiator.

should be back on the dyno this week!

Spent some time in  going threw the car this weekend,  dropped the drive-line out, decided to steam clean the undercarriage. with any  race car its a good idea to check everything in between rounds. We also had a chance to roll the FC3s back out. Might be time to throw some paint back on it an run it as well.

I just thought this was a great view that normally no one see’s, took this shot from the judges stand on Saturday during the FD event. Look at the crowd, the whole track was lined with spectators, what a beautiful day!
from the spotters stand, Atlanta is an awsome crowd
