very nice videos! he had more understeer than understeer in the second video.
Kurinobu -- what modifications have you done to your car? From the picture you posted of you on the front straight it doesn't look like you have the original wheels.
Did anybody else notice how much the gear lever moves up and down under braking and accelerating? Didn't realize it moved that much.

2 questions:
Could you tell me why you like the rear suspension to 9kg and front 11? Any reason? I am thinking 5 and 9 for my Tein flex. Any bad there?
Do you change your radiator and oil cooler that RX-8 party race recommend changing for their participants?
Thanks

Primary rate of front suspension is 11Kg/mm and secondary rate is 9Kg/mm,primary of rear is 9Kg/mm and secondary is 6Kg/mm.
These suspetion rate derived from my use case and required 1G stroke of suspension system.The required 1G stroke for rear is 65mm(70mm is better) and front is 60mm.
If you want to down your RX-8 hight by using Tein flex I recommend 4K for rear,front is OK for any rate.
I heard from my friend that Tein flex rear shock's hight adjustment area is small
so once he used 6K for rear he could not down hight from stock condition.
I have changed radiator and added oil cooler for my RX-8.
Japanese model of RX-8 has only left side of oil cooler.
Adding other side of oil cooler significant reduced oil temparature in hot climate.

Thank you for that.
I think there is not much of a difference for the front spring rate too.
What do you think of the Fujita Engineering FM801 (it is 10kg front and 6 kg rear). Will that be very bumpy on the road?
Which radiator did you use?
Thanks
