Ive only had Z221 on my 993 at the track and never driven the same track twice to compare but I found the opposite - they seem to go and go all the way to the skins.
I think much may have to do with camber and toe as mentioned to you on the phone this week. Your settings could do with a big bump to give you better heat management across the tyre surface and this may reduced the heat cycling issue you are seeing.
You ran a PB time at the sprints which was second day out for these so not sure the theory holds.
We are doing very short sessions compared to the guys in Europe, UK & USA Im often talking with. They run 20 and 30 minute sessions often on much longer courses than us....

Base for your next race car......??
Can't understand why it hasn't sold, has been hovering for months, there must be some history??

Get the AIM to me and I'll bridge your IT shortcomings and tell you where you are making / losing time.

Solid rear mounts and the RS arm bushes wouldn't have given you any time as I said when you did them - more about predictability and feeling as well as longevity and durability rather than saving seconds. However if your geo was changed substantially it should have given you a few tenths I agree. Not height change tho - 10mm on a road car like this will yield basically narda - more to do with camber/toe/caster etc and in that regard your are still conservative. You 993 has a 1.16.5 in it even with half worn tyres - just get that geo sorted with Peter and you will find it....

Paul your PB on 06 was 1.16.882
Your time at the sprints was 1.16.885
Given the 06 was on AIM and GPS and the Sprints was on transponder/beam Id have to say these are pretty much identical times....

Good choice with the Integra guys! The B series engines are pretty robust. I have a B20 in my daily driver that has run well for 220,000km's.
The distributors can give you grief and theres a water line at the rear that corrodes but other than that they are almost Paul proof. Parts are cheap and easy to come by and a complete engine replacement is around $500-800. Might pay to fit a bright red SHIFT light
The boxes are fairly good if the oils replaced. The auto's are made of chocolate! To be honest with the bits fitted if she's still running in 9 months you guys got a bargain! If its stacked find another Integra and you have a spares car
I look forward to the running report on the RSG "reasonably priced car".

So it drives surprisingly well. A bit wallowy and brakes are in need of work but slick gear change, new clutch, new engine, evo 7 radiator, adjustable race seat that fits big fulla's, 3" belts and harness bar. Wof until november, rego till sept. It may not get another wof without some superficials but we might have killed it before then anyway. I will give it a tidy up and do any work within my scope of basic skills to make it as good as reasonably possible. Will have to shop some work out though. Number one goal is that it is durable. Nothing else really matters. In light of that, the brakes are the only target for mechanical attention. New pads, disc skim and fluid. Engine oil change, check coolant condition. Tyres are what they are but have life so are good Suspension is a bit soft but it is fine. Looking for guidance on pads and fluid that can be achieved within a small budget. The jury is out on the big green 'M' on the bonnet and I've always wanted to do a rattle can job on a car but never had one ****ty enough to deserve that. The current scheme is a mix of matt and gloss black. More info when we get it home tomorrow.
I'm sure between the lot of us, there are plenty of automotive stickers flying around that haven't been stuck to a toolbox.
The screen might need a razor blade taken to it to remove that flat black so the RSG banner sticks properly.

Strip the M and let's see if someone might actually be interested in paying to place a logo. Far fetched, or perhaps not?

I own a model of this car - the only model I have purchased in about 20 years.........
Also the inspiration for the 'Macca Mobile'..........
I wonder if anyone had tired to make a real one??
