Thanks for the tip!

 

G-Stream 800 fitted. The included mounts are universal so we needed a base to adapt to the compound curve of the NC trunk. John scanned the trunk and printed these. If anyone here is planning on G-Stream wing for their NC, email us for the STL file. You can then CNC or print your bases. Not much else done to it since last post. Ran it at Buttonwillow a month ago without the wing. Was good right out of the box but still needs some fine tuning on the set up. We're upping the spring rates, probably 800/500 and swapping the Whiteline 24mm FSB to a Progress 28.6mm. Also Trackspec hood louvers and fender vents. Oh and the C30-94 Rotrex from BBR. Should be fun.

We definitely need details on the Rotrex!

That is one nice looking kit! I'm always excited to see you guys playing with Rotrex stuff since it's usually so simple/reliable. A NC with good suspension, tires and 300 WHP sounds like a riot.

 

Forgot to mention, we're also adding a Xero Limit oil cooler and flexfuel kit. Mike was responsive and helpful on getting the right hardware for our install. The Rotrex install will interfere with the oil coolers filter relocation brackets so we did something a bit different.
We'll post details on the solution once its in. Probably ID 1050XDS injectors.

 

 

So our car had a 100% new from Mazda shifter assembly. Bushings, shifter, everything. Was sloppy as hell. Hated it. John found this https://www.gracingshifters.com/
Run by Keith Goldin. Same dude that brought the crystal mod for NA/NB to the community about 20 years ago.

Maybe 100mm taller rod than OEM. Throws are tiny, maybe 20% of OEM. Zero slop. Centering spring firm enough to allow really fast 2-3 upshifts without fear of the moneyshift. Reverse lockout is unique. You twist the shift **** clockwise about 25° and it pops into reverse gate. Slick.
The **** on this one is a proto of the upcoming weighted Delrin Supermiata and 949 Racing (86) *****. We'll have two designs. This is the big one. The other is smaller, close to OEM shape.

I second that that shifter is awesome. I replaced my very well-worn stock shifter before my first track day and it helped a lot. I will definitely pick up one of those delrin shift ***** when you release them.

 

I'll be interested to hear your long-term review of this product - their shifters are interesting, but any more I wait until a product or vendor has been around for a while before I jump in. Well, aside from the K-swap. And the boxmount brakes. And the 863.. aw dammit.

 

If anyone is wondering why we swapped the standard aluminum **** for Delrin, metal shift ***** get very hot on track or long highway drives. Enough to burn an ungloved hand in our experience. So for race cars where you always wear SFI gloves, maybe OK but they still get hot. But for a street or HPDE car that's mostly driven without gloves.. Ouch.

 

More bits arrived or on their way.

BC cams BC0401, stage 2 - here
Motoeast/Xero Limit flexfuel kit - here
Stage 2 BBR Rotrex kit - on its way

Neal Mckay will do the base map once we send the current ROM and a few datalogs (ecutec racerom). I'll finish up the tune if needed. Looking forward to some horsepressures.
No particular power goal, just want it to stay together for a least a year. If it goes pop, we'll have Esslinger build a new longblock. Should hit 300whp with ease and not need to rev it past OEM redline.

 

Toys!

 

Big Bootied Racecars?

 

Most likely a new steering wheel

 

 

That's way more fun

 

@emilio700 I didn't know you hired Jhony C onto the team

 

I was unaware that one glowed in the dark
