It was an old a4 with the 1.8 turbo. No idea on 0-60 but it could do close to a 1.7 60ft time. It got off the line very quick for what it was. 13.3 quarter mile

@@TimMatijownice 1/4 time! What did you set your launch control at? What clutch was you running?

@@nathaneberline1067 pretty close to 6000 if I remember. Ecs stage 2 clutch and flywheel

Spoiler at 45 degrees was about where we ended up

wider wheels in the front only. everything else is stock

Nope that turbulence creates more drag lol

Toyota engineers IIRC did say it was to reduce drag because the rear shape is actually even worse without it due to more separation due to the steep drop It gives the air somewhere to attach back to and the low pressure over the engine bay isn't really drag because it is isolated rather than pulled along That was the explanation on the original MR2 anyway, it probably applies to a lesser extent to these generation ones, but I've seen the point proven on sedans which also use this trick to float a pocket of air at the rear glass in exchange of then reducing the larger source of drag AKA turbulent flow behind the actual car

A wind tunnel that can spin the wheels is $20k+ an hour

Wow, i see tnx!@@TimMatijow

​@@TimMatijow how much is does it cost to build one?

Base rsx 5 speed and an eBay knock off of a ktuned shifter.

@@TimMatijow looks like a great shifter

Wilhelm geometry kit Wilhelm extreme top mounts. Wilhelm adjustable front tie rods Polyurethane bushings (get spherical if you can afford it) Fortune auto 500 coilovers. 6k front, 8k rear. (get 510's or higher equivalent. These are very good street shocks but can't handle super bumpy tracks) 16x12 with -13 offset. 15mm spacer up front. 23.5x16x12 Hoosier slicks. I switch between the r75a, gt pro MS, and gt pro S depending on what tires I can find locally. -3.5 camber all the way around. 5/16 total toe out in the front 5/16 total toe in for the rear.

Not my car. I'm pretty sure it's just the piggyback

5.0 v8

Thanks! How did you do? Seems like the car is running well

@@TimMatijow Any numbers on power or torque? Can't wait to get my K24 running!

@@motoringmatt never been to a dyno. No idea what the power is

They said they uploaded it, yet I can't find it.

how much of a difference is it from a 350? I'm running 2012 350 fully stock and pretty used to the power. Is it torquey at all? i like to be shoved into the seat

@@pd5041I mean, it’s essentially a muscle car motor in the same size car. Use your imagination.

pretty hard to do honestly. if anything I see it as the same amount of torque with slightly faster shifts/throttle. Idk I might just get a c63 w204 instead@@slowspecv69

@@pd5041very very different bro about 100 hp and you can supercharge those thibgs

​@pd5041 I bought an isf two months ago. Was driving a 350 for the past 4 years and 250 for another 2 years before that. Currently have the 350 as daily and f as weekend. You will instantly feel the additional power once you are at highway speed. 60mph+. Before that, two cars feel the same. 350 has aggressive gearing on 1st and 2nd, so you barely feel any difference pulling from a stop. Other than that, transmission is much faster, but still slower than any modern dual clutch or even some single clutch at). Being a 8spd I'm avging only 1-2mpg lower on highway compare to the 350. car feels much heavier in front. It's a slower car than 350 on canyon roads because of that. Handling is much better compare to 350, but nothing bmw alike. I'm a true lover of the 2is look and a die hard lexus fan boy, otherwise, your money is better spent on something else.

Thanks, trying new set ups with the suspension. This was our first event at this site and the surface is very different than our usual so I don't feel like I learned much about the car.

Yeah, it's electric powersteering. It's not factory though. This is from a Saturn vue which uses an electric motor in the column. . The factory mr2 stuff is an electric-hydraulic pump that pumps fluid like a normal powersteering rack.

@@TimMatijow that's super cool! How did you get it to work? I totally get engine swaps and whatnot but electric power steering seems more difficult unless it's pretty much plug and play or it has its own control unit

@@FelverFelv it has its own ecu. Just hook up power and ground and a switch to turn it on. The assist is adjustable with a knob that fakes a speed signal to the ecu. It's turned down as low as it can go. You just have to make a custom steering column to fit it
