Parts Wanted / Pickup coil for '84 FJ1100
Last post by indyblue - June 26, 2025, 02:16:24 PM
Looking for a pickup coil with or without baseplate.
Mine decided to losen up and eat itself.  Are there any alternatives?
Where to find?

Yes, if you're a fish, or a duck !!!!!!   :sarcastic:

Haven't you been having heatwave conditions lately of 25°C   :good:

I don't know, I've been in Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France and Germany, on my FJ, for the past 9 days  :sarcastic:

Gridlife is September 26-28th and will be live cast on YouTube.

Global Time Attack is November 8-9th and should also be live cast on YouTube.

We got it fired up a few weeks ago.

Currently the subframe is getting redesigned/remade to move the rear end up a touch to accommodate the diffuser. Once that is done we are going to make some customs front tie rods to use heims on the stock spindles. We keep blowing through stock lower tie rods every couple weekends. (I think it ticks just over 3g load when cornering. The data on the videos shows.)

Then we will make a flat floor for it from the front splitter back to the rear diffuser to make it all nice and smooth.

Dyno time after that, then hopefully a test day before Gridlife Laguna which is in September. Gridlife and the global time attack finals in November will be the next competition days for it.

Sorry, spaced out. We put some over fenders on it and are running 11" Hoosier a7s. Got the weight down to 2413lbs full of 12qts of oil 8 gallons of gas and driver.
Car is balanced very well
50% cross weight
51.3% left side weight
55.8% front 44.2% rear. This will actually get a bit closer to 50/50 as we are having to redesign the rear subframe to move the Winters quick change up in order to get the diffuser under the car. In doing so we are beefing the subframe up from 1.5" .083 wall tubing to 1.5" .125 wall as we were having so issues with the tube cracking the last few weekends with the thin wall stuff.

Quote from: Pat Conlon on June 23, 2025, 01:55:18 PMVery cool Robert, say hello to Ryan for me.
With that big bump in rwhp do you have enough tire?
Not a lot of room in those Miata's even with flairs.
Do you have a web page for this beast? I would love to follow you crazy guys.. 

Cheers lads
Fr. Paddy
