Default Fastest RX7 with IRS

Well my goal was to be the fastest independent rear suspension rx7 and on friday we had a track rental at atco and i was able to run an 8.600@156. (previous record was 8.74)

This was done on 26 x 8.5" slicks..

I still have some more work to do with the suspension before i go ahead and turn up the boost.. We bogged pretty bad on the run too.. I've gone 1.28 60ft before.. This run was only a 1.38.

Well at least we got the IRS record in the process. I believe by the end of the year it'll go in the 7's...

Enjoy:

nicely done enzo....I was the one in your other thread mentioning about the suspension....that transmission setup is really nice and keeps the weight on the rear because you dont need to use the clutch to shift.

Glad to see you got to your goal...keep at it man, you're doing well!!
