haha, are there a lot of race events over there? I'm envious.

A friend of mine introduced me to Okabe Jidosha (www.okabejidosha.com). These guys have been in the Super Taikyu championship for years with two then three FD3S and collaborate with MAKERS. Now the have a Z33 partially supported by Nismo and on FD3S. They invited us to join them on the Fuji speedway and we spent the day in the paddocks with the teams. Very nice guys.

Some pics just for you guys:

WOW! That's cool! What jacks-stands (hydraulic jacks??) are they using there?

Yes, built-in stuff. And the FD si completely stock except for the IC piping and the exhaust, + inner valve of the seq turbos removed. 350hp and OJ still get the lap record ont he Fuji Speedway in his category with their private RX-7. Really fast!

:willy_nilly: that's just very cool to see. Rotaries are so fun!

Hello Nick....

What's the next event over there? how was 7 day? Did you go?

No I didn't. I'm a kind of busy man...

There was the Tokachi 24h last weekend but it was in Hokkaido, a bit far for me to go.

Honnestly, the next big event for me will be the mapping of my PFC on the dyno!

that's a big event. Keep us updated on your new 7.

It took me less than 15 min to install my Power FC
