Merkur XR4Ti on the Road Course

[dunz]

First on-track outing for my XR (As well as my first track day):




LA3, Large VAM, Cosworth turbo exhaust housing, 3" custom exhaust,( no Intercooler, 13 psi, NOT SMART)

Stock shocks and struts, stock brakes (Also not smart), T9 transmission, stock diff

Merkur 15x5.5 basket weave wheels with 205/50R15 Federal 595 RS-RR tires


Was a heck of a good time, and the car is completely different now... will almost be a year by the time she gets on track again.

Certainly not the typical kind of video you see on here!

After a LOT of different work over the years, the car has seen a number of autocrosses, and finally made it back out for more road course with custom suspension, Eaton LSD, RS500 style intercooler, on 20psi of boost.

It's also seen some hillclimbs, here's last years run at the Empire Hillclimb in Michigan:


I'm putting the final touches on the car to run again this year at Empire, goal is to beat a 302-swapped XR Rally car thats been slightly ahead the past few years.

Good to see you're still at it, making improvements, getting faster, etc.
