I hear you. I spend so much time thinking about an R300 race car with S2000 running gear. But every now and then i do skids in my car and the love returns. Plus, i can only get say 13k for mine so will never sell it. Renting an apartment with no gargae is what stops me from getting a dedicaed race car...so perhaps thats a good thing
Yeh, figured people spend too much money on getting their cars to handle and be boring. The Stoptechs are in a box atr Racepace, so std fronts with R33 Brembo rears with good pads in back, rubbish in front Keeps you on your toes
I have some 700cc injectors to go in. But first want to understand if the plenum helps things, and then try another set of baby cams. With all that done then hopefully a more regular supply of E85 will be available. This is still my daily driver so availability of fuel is important
Took the car out for a wrap at DECA over the weekend. With the gate back to atmo and tune leaned on a bit more I am making 274rwkws at 21psi on 100RON, about 255 on 98RON.
One thing I really need to get on to this week is installing the Stoptech front brakes as the car is pretty lively in the rear with the std fronts back on the car
And a bit of a moment ...
Good weekend.... thanks to the organisers...and sorry to see the tangled GTR. Good to hear on Saturday night you were both ok..
I have decided I am going to put an even bigger brake setup on the rear and leave the fronts standard...makes the car so much fun to drive
What is wrong with a classic looking Lotus 7 on the street? To me a purple R33 GTR with bronze Rays is homo spec as it has all the 12 yr old boys chasing you down the street. A car that is styled on a classic Chapman design is COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forget R500s and R400s. Get an ex R300 race car and put S2000 running gear in it! Having driven an R400 and an Exige S around the same track, I was shocked to find the R400 absolutely smashed the 2010 model Exige S. The R400 was detuned and had sway bars removed to make it easier to drive for those hiring it. So it was wounded and still spanked an Exige S
So, as for being homo spec...suits me fine when its the quickest thing on the circuit!
Hi, I am in the final stages of wiring up my Gizzmo Tach Recall Shift Light and Launch Control, and only just realised the kit does not include the Reed switch required to be installed on the clutch pedal. ANy idea where I can source one local in Melb?
Thats the point....I still say 23.1 in my car isnt that quick. Its two seconds off where it should be. If that 23.1 was a 21.1 then I would happy where the gun tag...but as is that times sells the car short!
I am the first to admit, I love driving and the art of it all...but you guys are now doing times that even if my car is capable of I would not be comfortable doing, so couldnt do. Hopefully I make it off the waiting list for 12 Dec !
No brakes on the car. No tyres to use and still needs the tune checked ... LOL, Team Last Minute!
Does anyone have any 235/17s - 255/17s they are looking to sell, preferably just for frying ?
I have entered but guessing I am even further down the waiting list Will be good to get some real kms on the car....anybody been to one of these days in a "noisy" car ? How are they with black noise flags?
