Do you ever have any Lotus or BMW owners come up to you after you get off the track and ask you why your mx6 is so much faster than their car?

Awesome vid as always.

Piers14 · June 30th, 2007, 05:18 AM

Sure do... It causes them bit of head scratching from time to time...

madmaxz24 · June 30th, 2007, 06:53 AM

I like the fact that you passed everything on the track, race breed cars, but none passed you! Love the sound of your exhaust also. Are you running headers or stock exhaust manifolds? Great driving!

Piers14 · June 30th, 2007, 07:30 AM

Thanks... SS headers, de-cat etc.. Details in my sig..

shaodome · June 30th, 2007, 08:17 AM

I'm going to make your exhaust note my new ringtone.

SuperSquid · June 30th, 2007, 09:05 AM

Your car is pulling much better out of the corners now over how it was bogging down a few months ago. What all have you been changing?

Piers14 · June 30th, 2007, 09:09 AM

All the info is here... http://www.stoppressimages.com/MX6.htm

brettrod · June 30th, 2007, 09:49 AM

I would have thought the big ass fugly wing on the sti's and evo's would have made them able to take you on.

hahahaha

very nice man, I can't wait to do that someday.

BTW the supercharger isnt on the car in that video right? Nice vid for sure....

Piers14 · July 1st, 2007, 04:26 AM

Definitely not... Have to finish rebuilding the spare engine first..

deyan · July 1st, 2007, 05:14 AM

car sounds and performs amazing as always! How was it with the new slick tires?

Piers14 · July 1st, 2007, 05:52 AM

The slicks I bought were absolutely rubbish.. That's what I get for buying cheap slicks.. Car was nearly undriveable.. Spun many times.. Here a clip of one spin... Switched back to Kumho trackday tyres after a few sessions...

Piers14 · July 1st, 2007, 03:17 PM

I hope it stays together.. after those laps in the first vid I noticed the temp needle was off the scale.. Took ages to get it cooled down..and required 7.5 litres of water...
Am out on track in the UK next weekend so I hope it holds together....

Stevoh · July 2nd, 2007, 01:53 PM

Nice vid Piers, your vids are always a joy to watch as you always pass people and no one passes you

. Piers, I think the final touch your car should have is an LSD, your car already exits and handles corners as if it has one, so having one should make you that much faster.

EDIT: I forgot, you are in fact in the process of getting an LSD

Dan [Sac] · July 2nd, 2007, 02:01 PM

For temperature control, build better fan shrouding. I noticed my MX6 temps are on average always higher than in the Probe. I'm guessing it's because the radiator is closer to the engine, and also the front end geometries allow for more airflow in the Probe. Also the Probe has better fan shrouding, but with a little aluminum sheeting you can get much more focused airflow through the radiator.

There should be no surprise that the 6 passes the Loti and other 'quick' cars out there - with a power/weight ratio equal to or better than them, it just takes a better driver to better them

Vids look great

Piers14 · July 2nd, 2007, 02:20 PM

Thanks Dan... I have already tweaked the shrouds and normally the temps are rock solid.. I think I got air into the system and didn't bleed it correctly.. Thing is I have no idea how long the temp was off the scale as I was puching very hard.. Hopefully the engine is not fecked...
