Thanks for tips just getting started so I need tons of advice, have 04 manual and 07 AT. 04 needs frame rusted areas fixed then plan to do compression test before next step

Whats your end goal for the car? Is it a race car? And if the rust is really bad, just grab another body. There cheap cars here in Georgia. You could probably get the body for a pull a part after its been stripped. If you have questions feel free to ask here. It helps the video anyways the move comments I have.

@@ATLRIOT I was hoping to build 1 good car for track fun racing using both, however without parts to upgrade and no Turbo I'll have a hard time placing near the top... I was told pick another car that doesn't have parts shortage Advice? thanks

What else do you do to your cooling system? Because mine is running between 190-210f everytime when im fully on it. I can’t keep it below 190 😢

@ianjohnson716 Жыл бұрын

How in the world can you keep water temps below 200f? I'm running a koyo radiator (s1 stock thickness) and see 210 just on mountain roads.

Theres a couple things. You running the under tray? Have you tried running your fans on max all the time? A big part of it I feel is forced air flow. Extending a lip forcing more air at the Rad also helped.

Hi. Building a race going RX-8 at the moment. I need an aftermarket stand alone tach gauge/shift light. Any suggestions on an accurate rpm signal location or method for a gauge??? Given its a rotary etc.

@ATLRIOT Жыл бұрын

Why not use the stock one? You could pull from the trigger on the front cover.

@@ATLRIOT I’m not sure what you mean. Forgive my ignorance. I thought that signal was through the CANBUS??

How is it fuel eficient enough for you to be an endurance car?

@ATLRIOT 4 ай бұрын

About 1.4 hours. But I got a 24G fuel cell that I need to put in. The original is a small tank think 16G with terrible fuel slosh problems when you get to half a tank.

200° it can not be the límit. My car in the circuit always goes between 200-210. The limit as far as I know is 220°. In the street you reach 200° easily it can not be the limit

@ATLRIOT 10 ай бұрын

Im just regurgitating what one shop said to me. I’m sure you can hit 210. But for our race car driving 8-20 straight hours we have not had a lot of success running it that high. I try to keep it bellow 200.
