I'm not a huge fan of swapping out the rotary, but your V8 seems to make good power and low down torque. That engine seems to upset your handling though- Your car has understeer from the weight of that engine and then torque understeer from the low down power. Some coilovers and larger brakes would make your car feared by all- great pics and video-
|
BTW- did I mention that I dislike yanking out a rotary and putting in a V8? I do have to admit though, you did a phenomenal job and your car seems nicely put together.

passing all those cars with stock suspension either means you're crazy or you're a hell of a driver in the rain https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
nice vid... almost looks like my car hehe |
nice pix! how long have you been road racing?
|
haha thanks guys. i contribute the low speed understeer to the KAAZ diff. i bought the car from previous owner who set it up for drag racing. the diff was set to 100% and feels like a spool. it is adjustable so over the winter, i'll remove some clutch paks and make it more RR/AX friendly since that is my only concern.

[snapback]750702[/snapback] [/quote] my car was fantastic, just kept flooring it.... never spun or went off course. when they got real hot it understeered a little more but my car is setup to oversteer so it was a new experience in that car for me https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif i've never used the yok's but i would probably try the new falkens if i were you. they last a while and have wet traction etc etc |
