Auto X?

Yes sir.  STX class #3.  Loads of GTi's, BRZ's, 325i's in my class.  For the first time back driving in a long time, I just want to keep it rubber side down, have a better time then the other RX8 and not do any damage.  Little worried because my modifications priority list is changing.

 

Was just telling SDY that I need to get some vinyl done for fun.  

 

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Finally was able to get back out to the track yesterday.  The last few weeks have been bezerk and anything outside of work/SSAwork/Arthur has been non-existent.

 

Erica shot a few videos of my run's, just need to download them from her phone, then upload them to share.  I got a few pix from the fun when I wasn't driving.

 

1987 Merkur XR4ti that I got to ride along with twice:

A few post even snaps of some of the other RX8's (there were 10 in total as we planned a little gathering, and again I was the only Shinka ).

Was able to get the grounding kit installed on my car.  Supposed to help a much larger contact surface amount for the grounds, and aid in slightly smoother idle.  I have only put 20 highway miles on the car since installing it last night, and the throttle does feel a tiny bit touchier, no butt dyno difference, and the idle is a pinch smoother.

 

Adjustable shocks are waiting to be installed.

[Shogen 325]

nice !!!

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

How to finish in style without hitting any cones, despite completely cooked rear tires while pushing to move up one spot.

 

 

[S.DeYoung 967]

So fast, so furious

 

"how'd he do that?"

 

haha

Thought you were getting new tires?

Kendell wants to go to Aaron's racing shool.

I am, just going to wait until next season or until after the shocks/ignition are installed.

If she has a helmet, she can ride along in a race.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Since I am still awaiting the arrival of something I have been waiting on a good while now..... the Evil will stay in the house for now, while an Icon 18 was added in for part of the daily driver rotation.  I quick weekend up at Neal's and tada, nice and solid sealed box that barely fits.

 

 

 

[Tirefryr 1,742]

so much for practicality.

[nem 2,019]

Kids these days and 18" subwoofers!

[nem 2,019]

I must say the overall sound of the front end blends very nice with the ICON. With no tweets I was suprised and envious of the smooth sound.

The nice thing is I can swap it out with the sealed Dcon or ported Icon or which ever, and have truck space back.

Maybe time to sneak in some 2"~3" at the base of the "A" pillar of the 4Runner.

 

I vote Fountek, Fostex or maybe Dayton.

You heard the 4runner first hand and would know what I should use. Plus you know how bright I like my music.

Don of SDS has the TB W3-1364's: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=264-844

 

They were brighter than my Founteks, maybe a little more on axis demanding, but also a pinch more towards your ear on pin point precision compared to mine.

 

The Aura 3" FR I have in the bedroom towers, are REALLY impressive for the price, but personally I think the Founteks are a pinch better for in cabin.

 

These TB's caught my eye: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=264-812 before I bought what I have now.  I love underhung top end, as what I have now are, but these are more competitively priced.  Sean did not seem to like them all that much if I remember correctly, along with the TB 1878's I ALMOST pulled the trigger on.

 

I will have to look it up, but I specifically remember the Fontek FR58's getting really strong reviews, as they are what lead me to the 89's.

They are the 4 ohm version of what I have, so you have heard them before.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Late to post up, but wheels and adjustable shocks are on finally.

[nem 2,019]

Looking good.
