My 106 run I was on the speed limiter, after that I usually lifted somewhere around 100-105. I had to shift into 4th during Dog Leg and Sunset and the front straight. Like I said I had no complaints about power, I could pull on the Hondas during the faster portions of track, but they walked away from me during the twisty bits.

Speed limiter or rev limiter? I thought the top speed limiter was 118 mph?

My math shows the top of 3rd is 91mph with a stock ECU, and 124 in 4th.

The speed limiter is supposed to kick in at 112mph, the car really didn't want to go above 106 indicated, it kinda felt like the speed limiter was kicking in. Not sure if it was or not but it felt like it.

That is just wind resistance.

Talking to the Honda guys they were just shifting into 5th so they were doing 104-110 give or take.

Looking good! I'll post up pictures of mine today.

I'll be putting it on the scales and adding weight this week.

Updates ASAP!

xnamerxx · 04-08-2014, 12:31 PM

Make sure you get lots of weight, if your car is anything like mine you'll need to add 100+ lbs.

I had to add a bunch of weight to the front footwell and rear passenger seat area to get the numbers this close. Still running too much fuel though.

I need better brake pads! The HAWK HPS crapped out.

The black stripe looks good.

About the only "off the shelf" pad is a carbotech - typically they don't stock them, but can make them in a few days. We ran those for a year or so, but never really liked them. They have to much initial bite for my taste, and with no ABS allowed in Prod they tended to cause flat spotted tires.

We had Porterfield cut a set of Hawk DTC-60 pads down to fit the Yaris caliper, and have never been happier. Very progressive pads, and with more than a year of racing on them they still look like new.

Well worth the money.

I resemble that remark

How many tires do you have to kill before you hook the ABS back up?

xnamerxx · 04-08-2014, 05:09 PM

Probably never just knowing that a mistake will cost me $170 helps keep me in check.

Larry@CFR · 04-08-2014, 09:21 PM

FHT_Racing you will get to race Joe McClughan & the other 2 Mazda2 guys. Glad SW Div is getting a few more B-Specs on track!

Yes, sir! Joe, Steve, and James I believe. It will be fun chasing them down :)

xnamerxx · 04-08-2014, 12:39 PM

Nice looking car :)

Yeah get rid of that street crap, it'll save you headache in the future. I'm running Carbotech XP8 I think, they work really well for the price, but I would probably get a set of cut DCT-60s

FHT_Racing · 04-08-2014, 06:49 PM

Yep, with full gear, a little over half tank, and 40lbs on the passenger side it came out to be 2,375lbs :/

So I'm looking at a full tank and 100lbs.

I may try the Carbotech pads just to see how I like them.

Thanks!

Jason@SportsCar · 04-08-2014, 07:06 PM

Just need to get the cars out there and start recording some finishes, then spend six months trying to convince the CRB to take weight off the car.

xnamerxx · 04-08-2014, 07:29 PM

Well I'll be at the Majors event in a couple of weeks, just have to beg them to add a CRB data box to the car.

Just a heads up add more weight and run less gas. I was weighed at my last race and just barely made weight even though I put several more gallons of gas in than I typically would have needed. SCCA scales aren't always accurate and nothing would suck more than to get DSQ'ed for being 5 lbs underweight.
