Front wheel was carrying real nice all day, I was just trying to get the fucking clutch hand down today and only managed a 1.9x 60ft. And ran a 10.4x @ 143, stock wheel base for the lose. Mike however did manage a 9.4x @ 15x. Had a great day I had thought the steals were warped in it but got it home an off trailer at Josh's and the clutch seemed fine. Anywho thats the last of the blue devil you'll be seeing she's getting a face lift, a new heart, and some LONG legs. See yall next year! Thanks to the guys who video'd for me and the guys taking pictures. Thanks Anthony for setting up another spot on event.

My first pass of the day the car went to 3k rpms and then bounced off the rev limiter in 1st and 2ed so I gave up, it had no traction at all. Second pass, started to get traction in 1st and 2ed and when it hit 3ed it stepped out HARD but managed to avoid taking out the cones. Scott then tried it and it did the same thing for him and didn't get any better as the day went. Only pass it did somewhat decent was a taking it slow pass without giving it full throttle but it still had a couple minor issues.

 

 

it looks like the diff is broke in that blue formula...or atleast needs some new clutches in it...one wheel peel is ftl

 

 

 

 

Scott made a pass before the end of the day so Anthony and I could see what it was doing and both wheels where spinning. He still almost hit the wall though in 2ed. The car was just all over the track today.

 

Anthony believes it was a mix between the track, the tires and that its a 6spd car but we are going to check it out and maybe go out to a test and tune with some different tires or something and try it again if we dont see anything visibly wrong with it.

rx7- first pass 12.0 @120 on motor spinning thru first

second pass blew rear up. new best on motor

 

R1- 9.81@142 new best

 

Sorry to hear about the car. Me and Josh (3.1 Cutlass) were headed up to Ray's and he saw your car on the trailer coming back. We decided it was most likely your rear end. Sorry to hear that it's down, but glad to hear it wasn't your engine.

 

You put a 2nd gen (s14?) diff in there yet? Still probably not enough with the TQ your car makes, just wondering. There's some diff from the 2nd gen's that has a torsen type (IIRC) diff that's supposed to be very strong, I'm sure that's what Carl's thinking too. Hopefully one of the RX7 guru's will chime in with the details.

 

EDIT: Carl beat me to it.

The blue car was on street tires, one of two I can recall. Both street tire cars were doing the same thing, but hers has about 100 more hp and the shock of shifts from a M6 versus the A4.

 

Nothing seems loose, but I'd love to see this thing on an alignment rack. It kicks around like its got a shitty thrust angle. I've never been so sideways going down a drag strip, but I don't know. The tires on a colder track were horrible, and the car doesn't feel like it did in the beginning of the year. :confused:
