    Ill ask the owner of previous best times. Its a street car, its not a race car and its not a tourer or even GT production etc etc.

    Yes the box was one thing that we thought of, but by changing the gearing and such, it compromises other parts of the car like dropping in and out of high rpm and VTEC etc. Belive me, all other avenues have been explored, well the builder thinks so, hence going to this trouble.

    If you guys hae so much knowledge, as dynodave has offered, perhaps you can pm me or even reply here what else u might do.

    Make the gear ratios shorter - that way he will accelerate faster and wont have the problem of changing to 5th as he gets to the corner....he will do it earlier.

    No problems with droppig out of VTEC either!

    and then what? have 8 gears so he can hit a top speed of 220kmph? u do realise that dropping gear ratios is good, thats fine and dandy, but then u sacrifice top speed and other things.

    5th gear is usually a a cruising gear anyway- it doesnt match the rest for acceleration.

    I think the solution requires a compromise between gear ratios and increased engine speeds.....you dont need to go to extremes with either.

    well ill mkae sure i get u to setup the next car for a circuit race. Cos if i dont need to be going to extremes then this guy with 20 years of GT experience and all of their racing experience and knowledge means nothing, if u can do it wihtout making this guy do what they hvae made him done.

    Is there a contact number we can contact you on so we can get this sort of work done?

    Hey Andy,

    If the guy doesn't mind, pm me details on when you guys plan to dyno/tune this monster. I'd absolutely love to see this beast in action! It sounds craz-zeee!

  10. #22
    lozl yep, well he wont mind, but i dunno if the dyno tuner will allow it, cos he is doing a sponsor deal with it. but eh, cant hurt to ask. if its ok, ill get the ozhoinda boyz down there for a day haha
