AVR Performance RX7 FD3 Race car nearly ready for the track again
The AVR Performance RX7 FD3 Race car is nearly ready for the track again now the wheel tub mods are complete. When we first ran the RX7 in OSCA we were aware that the car was under tyred. The car was originally built to the Sport Saloons regulations which did not allow any major modifications to the wheel tubs - so when it came time to run in OSCA a 265/625/17 slick was about the biggest that would fit. To get a readily available good compound slick meant a significant step up in diameter and a little wider. The new tubs & guards now allow a Super tourer Hankook slick to be fitted.
With the bigger 18’ wheels we took the opportunity to upgrade the front brakes at the same time. The old Alcon brakes are now replaced with AP 260mm floating disks & AP 6-piston callipers supplied by Dave Read at Braketech.
The last job on the list is a tune to suit a new injector & throttle body layout and we are ready to hit the track.
