shinka240 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 Hello everyone. I'm not really new here, I joined and introduced myself a few years and I never returned. Things happened and didn't have time for fun. That being said I would like to welcome myself back to the fun. When I joined I DD a copper red rx8 that was stock. I have since moved on to an Evo x gsr. I'd like to be able to do some auto x again (never did it here and it's been years) and maybe a track day or two. I'm just having trouble finding places/groups online thats not strictly scca competitions. Thanks and hello again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinka240 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 It's fun. Buts it's slow out of the box, atleast in a straight. I haven't had a good opportunity to run it in some curves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robochan Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Lots of options for autox or HPDE if you don't mind a little drive. United ford owners is ran by a couple members here and a really relaxed event except for some friendly smack talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinka240 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 What time is the coffee and thing? I'd drag but my shit is slow. And dumping 10g or more into the car just to keep up right now isn't an option. And thank you for the welcomes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And thank you for the welcomes We have 16-second Mustangs at drag days coughBencough but that doesn't matter it's just fun to hang with people. Also doubt you need 10g to make that thing fun.

Also doubt you need 10g to make that thing fun. I need to look up the drag days then. I'm game for take the longest amount time possible drags haha. Once I get used to launching this big clunker I think I could get 13s? I hope anyways. No, not to make it fun, but to make it quicker for decent drag times. I'm still new to this Evo thing but it's expensive to make fast. I'm not sure what 350ish awhp would net this car as far as e.t. goes.

dsm_sleeper Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 I used to have a Evo X. Drop in filter and Cobb Accessport to start. Then later you can add a HFC and flash to stage 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 13s are fun. Ask Aaron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that the stock filter setup was good for like 350? I'm unsure if I wanna go the Cobb route or not as of now. Turbo back exhaust, manual boost controller, fuel pump and tune. You'll have plenty of "weeee" for cheap. Call me a puss if you want. First I want to get a good feel for the car. I've only had it about a month. It's very different than the old rx8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinka240 Posted June 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 13s are fun. Ask Aaron. I wouldn't know the rx8 wasn't very fun in a drag so I stayed away from it... the old 240sx I had was fun but never ran on a track, due to there not being one on the island... lol.
