heh

saw this earlier today

cant imagine how much that would suck

According to Karl O., an S2K driver who was there that weekend.

Quote:

This guy just bought a new set of dedicated track wheels, the shop gave him the wrong lugs. As you can see the results were not good.

Quote:

Unfortunately, that was not staged. The lugs were the wrong thread. I was working the corner across the track at the time.

He was getting to the slalom, where I had a difficult time deciding whether I was gonna stay at 8500 rpms in 1st or shift to 2nd- so I'm guessing he was going between 45 and 50 mph.

You can't tell from that video, but that was a gorgeous car. He was behind me in tech inspection, I was admiring it. There can't be that many clean RX-7s left. The bodywork around the wheel wells is now completely ruined. The brake rotors bent enough that even once the stock wheels were put back on, the car didn't want to roll.

owned by the metric system

Amnesty international supplied this recording recovered from the cars telemetry system:

Left rear wheel: This guy sucks, let's get out of here!

Right rear wheel: Yeah, there's a sweet GTR over there, I'm heading that way!

right front wheel: I'm coming too!

Left front wheel: Me too, oh wait, forgot something. Guys,wait for me! wait! Damn, stuck under the quarter panel.

other wheels: FREEDOM! Oh damn, they're after us. Roll boys!

LR: momentum... fading....

RF: Damn those bastards with their self powered two legged motion.

RR: Please kill me. No more.

I think Amnesty international should consider the tyres attempted escape as a bid for freedom, and relocation to Australia should be something discussed at the next UN conference

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
