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. wink.png

 

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

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.

nice !!!

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

Thought you were getting new tires?

 

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

Kendell wants to go to Aaron's racing shool.

 

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

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.

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.

so much for practicality.

 

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. ;)
