As some of you may or may not know, PeakBoost is the official turbo kit supplier for the Skunk2 TA racing team.

Well, this last weekends Redline Time Attack was not only a blast, but the first time out for both of the Skunk2 TA cars (RSX-T and EVO9 S2R1). The primary goal of the weekend was to dial the cars in, aero/susp/engine as they were on the track for the first time with these setups.

The RSX-T was running very well and surprisingly pulled down 2nd place in the Modified FWD class with a 2:00:845 lap. I say surpringsingly, because the cars we really just pulled off of the rig and thrown on the track with pretty much a base tune that Dr.Charles had to put on @ 1:30am the morning of lol.

On our side of things, we are very excited to report that the PeakBoost manifold took a crazy beating on the road course with rpms rarely decreasing below 6000 for the entire ~30min sessions!



lots more to come from these 2 grip beasts!

How tall is this person, my head is almost touching the roof on my ep, especially when I wear a helmet?!?

 

well if you look at the seat he's probably on some really low seat rails.

Thats how i looked in my old car when i had Buddy Club seats, You sat just high enough to see over the dash.

 

wow!

 

Werd

 

yeah those seats are really low...

 

Do low seats make the car easyier or harder to drive?

I hate that haha

I can't wait until I don't have to daily drive mine so I can throw in a rollbar and some lower race buckets. Coming from my EJ1 with del sol seats, I felt like I was in a school bus sitting in the drivers side of the EP3.

Out of curiosity since I like seeing suspension set ups of the DC5/EP3's. Does anyone have the specs on the DC5 or EP3 pictured?
