You know what, I'm just gonna end this now. Back to the InitialD talk!

[Just_J]

BTW - turbo lag only comes in to it at low revs, once the car is moving you'll be changing gear in to a spooled up turbo, so it's only moving off the mark that you'll pay the penalty, and even then you can partially get round that with a spool assist or anti-lag ECU set-up.

Now a charge cooler IS far superior to an inter-cooler on the drag strip as it is working all the time (the difference is the former pumps water round the cooling sysem, the latter relies only on cold air moving over the inter-cooler radiator).

Oh and I do know the difference.  My MX-5 was (until a few months after I got the RX-7) super-charged with a charge-cooler, my RX-7 comes with twin serial turbos (and still has) and an intercooler (stock one now replaced with a large full width unit).

The terminoligy differences from country to country are pretty funny. This is a good example, most people call "Charge Coolers" "Air to water Intercoolers" in the states.

But yea, what he said.

(BTW, got anymore footage or pics of that RX-7?)

[Dapprman]

No more video - due partly to the change in policy to in-car mounts at some race tracks, else I'd have footage of me at Silverstone GP from inside.

I'll maybe see what suitable pictures I have, might have one of the engine bay from when I got it, and one for now  

The car is tuned for reliability (though that has produced a reasonable increase in performance) and quietness (though this is known to cost me 20-30 BHP).

If I can't get on to the race tracks I want to due to it still being too loud, then off will come the cat back and cat pipe, to be replaced with a nice titanium straight through.  Also when the engine rebuild comes around (60-80,000 miles for a well looked after FD3S 13B-REW engine), I'll get it street ported and dowelled, plus I'll replace the stock twin turbos with a single, such as a hybrid garret T35/40 (the popular choice in teh UK at the moment).

Here's one of the car at the dyno being tuned (yes I have a programable ECU as well as other bits).

Nice FD. How's the process going on the show. It was hard for me to read because of all the pollution that was on the last 10 pages, lol.  But yeah. Looking foward for the good news. Thanks

[Supra_Saiyan]

LOL, oh man that was a funny post.

In all fairness to my boy Petter, they did win more stages than any other car (by alot 95, next closest was Gronholm with 68, then Sebastian with 65), and had it not been for bad luck in a few events, he most likely would've kept the crown (after restarting a few events, he dominated the field, but his times didn't count). Sebastion won more on the reliability of his car, and his consistancy rather than his overall speed.

I can't wait untill the Monte.

Yep, Solberg is a champ  [smiley=tekways.gif]

Turbo lag sucks on the strip, no I wouldn't pull 14's you dumbshit you just don't know how to drive pussy.
No scooby are not the best initial design for strip, but like any tuner they can be helped in that direction http://autos.msn.com/as/minishow/article.aspx?contentID=4022785&s=SEMA2004&src=minishow
No not every competitive impreza on earth is undefeated but they kick a lot of ass for being in so many different forms of racing, and Just_J, you know so little yet you talk so much, a sign of selfimportant prick if you ask me. and I garuntee, that me and my RS could whip your ass soundly in ANY form of racing, you don't know me fool, don't act like you do. You pretentious douchebag!

Did you know that the Lancer Evolution can also be tuned for rally/track/drag?

FYI, Tommi Makinen won 4 consecutive World Rally Champioship Drivers Title driving a LANCER EVOLUTION.  The only driver to have ever taken 4 consecutive driver's title

Does the Tsukuba Super Lap Challenge mean anything to you? A modified LANCER EVOLUTION still has the fastest lap time in its class.

Legendary tuners from all around Japan descended on Tsukuba Circuit in the Ibaragi prefecture of Japan for Video Option's 2004 Tsukuba Super Lap Challenge. Challengers were attempting to take the title HKS has diligently held with their Lancer Evolution VIII TRB-02's (Tsukuba Record Breaker) astonishing time of 55.00 seconds set in late 2003. HKS also returned to Tsukuba Circuit not only to defend their crown, but to prove that the HKS Evo TRB-02's 55.00 second run was just a hint of what their Carbon Fiber Race Car could and would do. In stunning fashion, the HKS Carbon Fiber Track Attack posted a new track record of 54.739.

At 8:30 AM the HKS Evo TRB-02 piloted by Nobuteru Tanaguchi began its warm-up laps along with a few other cars. After two practice laps and one lap at speed, the TRB-02 recorded a 55.5 second lap time.

After pitting for a fresh set of tires Tanaguchi returned the HKS Evo TRB-02 to the course ready to challenge the current record HKS already owned. On this run the TRB-02 tore through Tsukuba Circuit's corners at an amazing pace, pushing the limits of the Endless brakes and the ultra-sticky Yokohama A048 tires. The Carbon Clad Warrior navigated the final hairpin and was catapulted by the HKS GT3037S Turbo down Tsukuba's back-straight.

When the HKS Evo TRB-02 crossed the finish line it stopped the clicker at an astonishing 54.739! No other vehicle in its class has even come close to the 55.00 second record already held by HKS.

Hey Dapprman, that's one nice FD.

Hmm, Vyrel you wouldn't per chance, be a fellow FD3 owner who happened to point me here for Inital D Stage 4 after a covnersation about it on another forum ?  

[Spymon]

ID4 is coming soon for those that have bothered to wait.  Many of the people working on this project have been very busy.  Afterall they let me loose on the editing.
