:blort:

Scott, who used to use so many words....till he found just the right one...

 

Simply...

 

moton... yummy as wipe the drool off my face

 

Sweet Mother of Pearl. That is the coolest thing I've ever seen.

<-- runs out to google to try and find more pics...

 

Looks like moton remote reservoir shocks...dayyum sweet!

 

 

Nice, but the OPM Proteges will ownz at Road Atlanta

 

Any idea what the motor puts out?

 

Niiiice! Good luck to RealTime with the new race car.

I also noticed that "custom" shock tower. Looks like it has some looong slots for camber adjustment.

One thing I don't understand tho, is it typical to put the remote reservoir in the engine bay? I know the race car from King's does that. AFAIK one of the advantages of those shocks is that the remote reservoir can be located away from the heat source (like brakes) and to the inside of the driving compartment. By putting it inside the engine bay, wouldn't it pick up all the heat? The exhaust side is right below the shocks for the RSX too.

 

LMAO!

Damn nice ride. I was also wondering about the placement of the shock remotes...

 

Could be a rules thing. Can't put them in the car near the driver, and I am pretty sure you don't want the cables to long, so...

 

Finally

I like the shock towers and the how the intake is setup (straight)

"One thing I don't understand tho, is it typical to put the remote reservoir in the engine bay?"

Would you want to run a line all they way into the cockpit for your shocks.. I think it would increase the likely hood of failing.. but thats just me. Most Remote resivour shocks I have seen keep the remote reservoir near the shock.

 

Lots more info directly from PD here

 

They're Type S's.
I spent a lot of time talking to a bunch of the crew members during the Mid Ohio race weekend about the R's and the new RSX's. I think these will be real fast once the program is in full swing.

 

Gentleman, start your VCRs. The WC Leguna Seca race airs on SPEED Oct 5 9pm and Oct 6 2am.

I'll be at Petit Le Mans, mainly for ALMS but it looks like I'll have to check Realtime out also. I'd take pics for you all, but i have no camera

 

damn I'm looking forward to seeing realtime perform... I hope they will do as well as they did in the past with their DC2's...

 

"At this time, we use SSR 17"x7.5" wheels. These are some of the lightest road wheels we've found, but they are not cheap and you can't hit anything very hard with them, or they'll look like stop signs. "

answers a doubt that came up on SSR competitions that came up a while ago...

 

Pants creamed.

 

ditto

 

:blort: is right


Pat, who is pissed he will miss Petite LeMans this year

 

Nice... but sentimentally I will miss the old Integras
