Tony Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 This animal I have taken on as a sponsored chassis.... In truth i'm full up with Drifty's but the RX7 is a particular challenge due to it's design stability? This particular car i set last week ready for it's BDC licence, unfortunately soon after the calibration the handling collapsed meaning it failed to gain it's licence..... The owners investigation into the dire handling proved one of the retaining bolts holding the upper rear wishbone on "fell out" This car is also sponsored by a "bushing" developer who my have issue with the new product?...... nevertheless this drifty was re-calibrated by me today ready for the next licence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Looks like a beast How did the bolt fall out...old one reused or wasn't torqued properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Looks like a beast How did the bolt fall out...old one reused or wasn't torqued properly? We didn't touch the bolt in question but it was a terminal failure.... Exactly how this evolved i don't know, needless to say the bolts in question are under scrutiny.

Tony Posted March 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I think there was quick picture of this in the re-opening of Rottechnics (IIRC) in Japanes Performance ? Yep, that's the one .... I originally calibrated this car late last year after another company set it so bad it had an "off" on the parade lap... Since i set the chassis other winter work has been done and it was back to be re-calibrated and slightly advanced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIH Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Such heavy use of a car kinda makes me wince. Still, looks awesome and I bet the sound is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
