RGRSCCA Event 6


Finally, its seemed so long since the last time I murdered large amounts of cones. The most recent autocross event was held at our local speed way which took the edge off the normally seen parking lots. Many changes happened up to this event, the most noticeable was the BRZ finally got tuned after the exhaust was reworked. The car feels completely different as it actually makes torque (I hear Jaik Ortiz laughing right now, relatively speaking!) at 4k RPMs unlike before. Regardless of this new found performance I actually did worse than usual; not sure maybe it was the air but I blame two features that required the car dipping below 4k RPMs. I felt a downshift would have helped greatly but the truth is I didn't think I could make the very sharp turns without both hands on the wheel. Despite the poor performance I still pulled 1st place in STX class but only placed 10th in overall PAX. Some might say that something to be proud of but I want to end the season in the top 5. To do that I need to head back to the drawing board and make some changes. I see a lot of suspension testing in the next few weeks, of course video for your entertainment.




Thanks to Motiva Performance and Scott Fox for the continued support! The car feels properly quick after several hours spent on the dyno. Below are the results which I must discuss as some of these modifications made quite the shit storm (you know who you are) on the forums. PLM did make a few mistakes on "their" design but after seeing the proof I think its a worthy route. These numbers will not impress most of you viewers but lets put this into context. With the few power mods that are allowed in STX class these numbers are fantastic even game changers. The amount of power gained overall is good but whats really amazing is the torque increase in the lower RPMs. Final statement PLM did rip off Nameless, and its worth the purchase. Enjoy a nice dyno run featuring PLM "long tube" headers.
