I like the color combo & wheels. Wouldn't expect to see you pick one of these up but i know there good track cars when done rite so i guess i shouldn't be to surprised.

Good man. Let me know how those 17x9's treat you. I've been toying around with the idea of going from 18x9.5 to 17x10 for NASA TTB/PTB in 2013.

Oh and please, please, please tell me you are premixing.

Looks great. How do the 7K Swifts feel up front on the PSS9s? What were the stock rates for them on the RX8?

Feels good, I think it rides better then a stock RX8(just drove one)

I am going to be selling the PSS9's and upgrading to Ohlins, if you know anyone looking.

the 17X9's fit great and are Very lightweight.

Pre-mix like putting 2 stroke oil in the tank?

davin · 02-01-2012, 10:21 AM

Klotz BeNol; all the cool people are using it at 1.5oz/Gal and it mixes with E10.

DaBombDiggidy · 02-01-2012, 10:32 AM

you have yourself a nice base for auto x right there

I might PM you once my build is done. I definitely want to feel the differences between the rim size. 18x9.5 has rock solid grip but i want more weigh savings. Unfortunately my rx8 is a GT not base. I've got more weight to cut everywhere.

And about premix - Idemitsu. Fuel filter friendly.

In for pre-mixing, and a second page, lol.

Simmons-Racing · 02-04-2012, 10:19 PM

I installed an Agency Power UD pulley.

I also ordered some Ohlin coil overs and Swift springs.

Simmons-Racing · 02-17-2012, 06:32 PM
