can you guys help me out to get my times down

last time I was at the track it was a 16.4 at 86.x with a 60' of 2.4

 

i'll help get your times down, i kno wnothing about rotaries, but i 'll help if i can

 

yeah well you should know quite a bit soon



I´m finding all my old post and going to try to do a write up on it

and you can read this

and I wonder why they call me a post *****

 

Nody calls you a post *****. You just try to be one

 

guess I´m not trying hard enough


hey do you ever check your PM´s

 

Do you ever clean yours out? I tried to PM you and your mailbox was full

 

hehe

oops


I have now


oh and if someone could please put a msg on CC about the whole friday thing

I can't get on there

 

Hows your suspension.. obviously you dont have the torque that we do but what are your launches like? lots of slippage? 84 mph isnt very high...

 

my susp sucks at the moment

the rear end just squats really bad.


and it seems I either get a lot of spin or wheel hop or I just bog the motor down.


the only thing is though I don't want to get a setup just for drag racing as auto-x is what I would rather do


stock spring rates are something like 118 front rear

while I am wanting to go to a 350/225 f/r with koni yellows for shocks and poly bushing

just hope that will help my drag a little as well

 

rx, as you can see i have an eibach pro kit and yellow koni sports all the way around.

I was running 2.6 60's before i installed this setup, so i figured it couldnt get much worse. Well guess what? It improved 100 fold. In drag racing you need a sloppy front end and a stiff rear end. My rear before was so loose it would just COOK the tires (2.6 60's are very indicative of that.) Now dont get me wrong the front struts ARENT 90/10's there nowhere even close, just that a properly FUNCTIONING rear and good struts up front in combination with the new springs lets me PLANT and go. It's a beatifull thing really. I've got a buddy with a BOXTER S. Before the swap he used to school me, after the swap i pulled so hard out of the hole he couldnt recover, even when we reached HIS rpm band it was just oo much.

This goes to prove you CAN have your pie and eat it too... And hey, when you're not running the times you want with an auto X setup just make more power and add bigger slicks

I figure the same with my car

nothing will make it get any worse

just everything on my car is so old and sloppy that I can´t plant on the ground. even with the auto-x springs I could prolly do better. and if nothing else just new struts and bushings would prolly do a world of good



oh yeah just another thing that sux

4 wheel steering.

under accel the rear wheels get toe in and I think a little bit of camber though not sure on that last part.... and IRS sux big *****

 

Hey rx7speed, that other post was locked so I thought I would say this here. I was just after psycomaross and shouldn't have said anything towards you, so I apologize. I shouldn't have said anything about your drag racing event. Hell, I used to have a rx7 and they are fun, but I will never go back. Got to love that torque

 

ladies, cant we all just get along.

RX tell me how it goes

 

uh my tires where low so I inflated them... I think I over inflated them a tad bit due to a tire pressure thing that was sticking.... no I have no grip....


still working on things though


rjmcgee it's cool

just was kinda curious where that one came from
