To true - embarrassed a few of those cars last time - especially the STI & that was before my mods.

You pretty much nailed it dynamho although I pwned the STI (not a good driver)
Could also keep up (not in acceleration) with the 400hp(worked) SS Commodore round the track .
Could match the Accord type R for acceleration but creamed him on breaking & cornering. The surprise for me was a Honda Integra race car - this was a lightly modified (and lightened) type R Integra . I could barely keep up with him .
We had a real fun battle for about 10 laps.
Last time on the track I got to 150-152km/hr by end of back straight - with my mods I'm now hitting revlimiter in 3rd at 165 km/hr . Think I had the most fun of anyone there though - certainly did the most laps .

check my first post .
One mod I did before the day was to wire up a decent rpm beeper (patched it into my powermod) - made a big difference not having to watch the revcounter ......
also turned the fans on 1/2 speed

like the beeper idea...
? stock shocks and springs. and what are you using for tires?
btw, our cars are almost the same except color.. and location.
how are you controlling fan speed?

on Falken 452's 245/40/18 they seemed pretty good - the integra driver was impressed - he thought i was on slicks
No mods at all to suspension - I like it the way it is (comfortable)- perhaps I could do something to reduce body roll a bit ???
fans on with powermod also

The powermod does not have any outputs that relate to temp so I can only control it by rpm or % throttle . I set it up to come on at idle normally but can switch it on full time for track use. Think the Mazsport mod you have is better.
As far as wiring it in - hardest part is finding the right wire to tap into . Luckily i found a fan wireing diagram - pm me if you need exact details .
