Had a pro codriver who wanted to race it on a team challenge so I had it ready for him to pick up since I couldn't go...he kept the spots on when he returned the car...he said all kinds of kids were trying to race him...his own fault for leaving the spots on lol...had to document it when I got home...PS he came in 2nd overall... great driver
Ok.. So this is a first attempt at some Top Gear style shooting. A bunch of us do a lot of video/audio production, and we've been planning on doing some hot car porn stuff for a while. The same friends also have a weekly off the wall viral short video series called 'Horse Bliss', that features lots of people doing mostly every day things in creepy-ass horse masks.
So we thought, hey... what better way to kill an afternoon than closing down a big parking lot, whipping out a stedi-cam and driving around like an idiot in a unicorn mask. We're probably going to do some ACTUAL stuff later this summer with the RX-8 (and maybe more with the 2) but this was a chance for us to practice a bit.
It was shockingly hard to get the 2 to drift or spin... I suppose that just means my suspension mods are working well. (Or that I wasn't _quite_ balsy enough...)
At any rate here are the short results of our first attempt!
put some extra psi in the rear (say 40) then all you have to do is brake to hard while turning in too early...and youll spin right around...Ive spun the 2..lets see here..at least 6 or 7 times unintentionally.
I lol'd at the unicorn stuff.
Did not use the 3M adhesive, the chin is screwed underneath and the sides. The black gooey thing is actually muck stuck between the bumper and chin, been raining straight for two days. Good eyes!
Still looks good though...With my car already dropped and ready for a bad winter coming up I think that lip would put me in snow plow status...otherwise..I would totally rock a black ground effect kit too ;-)
