5th event for the RX-8. The transmission is in terrible shape. If I try to shift any faster than 1-2 seconds between shifts, it grinds and won't go in.
The Car:
- 2004 Mazda RX-8 110k miles. It is stock outside of cold air intake for cooling (unblock radiator) and off the shelf Bilstein dampers to replace the blown OEMs.
- Tires: 17x9" wheels with 255/40/17 Hankook RS-4
- Suspension: Stock springs, but Bilstein shocks replaced blown OEMs. Racing Beat Sway bars
- Engine: A used pull out making officially low compression (mazda manual says this engine is "failed" and needs a rebuild), but it runs ok enough to drive on track.
- Brakes: Carbotech XP10 and 8, stock calipers and generic blank rotors
The driver:
- Red with The Drivers Edge
- Group 4 with NASA
