Did anyone happen to get any photos or videos of my car on the autocross course? I sometimes find these to be helpful when trying to make set up adjustments - ride height, sway bars, etc. I've seen a few pics from the pits and concourse, but nothing on track yet. Thanks!
It looked fast but I haven't figured out how to transfer my brain videos yet.
In reply to Lof8 - Andy :
Did I read elsewhere that it still has the stock engine? It appeared to accelerate fast! Like I would have expected a V8 fast.
Found these shots on the "Challenge Slide Show" Page

Stock engine + header. I did a fair bit of weight reduction. Ran 15.5 in the drags, so not super fast.
In reply to Pete Gossett :
Even stock they're usually pretty quick off the line since they have plenty of rear weight bias and decent power. Weight reduction just makes it even better. Any idea what it weighs?
I don't. I was hoping to weigh it at the challenge. But there were no scales like I remembered seeing in the past
It's very cool to me to see this there! Obviously I know first hand how cheap these things can be and how fun they are. I was surprised by the speed everyone said they were slow but they're lighter than an NB Miata with similar or more power and better weight distribution so they're pretty quick really!
Very cool car. Nonack and I spent about 15 minutes staring at the engine compartment discussing swaptions. Not like they are really necessary.

My new favorite word
A Toyota 2zz is the easy button and good for about 30 hp and gives you the poor mans lotus. But a Honda k swap would be rad. A home brew turbo on the stock engine is probably cheaper than both of those. The open diff is already a limiting factor at stock power levels though.
