My Mum's birthday is coming up near the end of october and for her birthday I was thinking of hiring a car for her to drive for a day/weekend. Not a everyday car, something special. I have looked around, some cars are a bit out of my price range (ferraris etc) but something like a lotus would be more affordable at around $500 odd for a day.

Whats the lotus like as far as straight line performance goes? does it put you in the back of the seat under accelleration (she likes that feeling)?

Can anyone recommend a place that does hire cars like this? or any other type of performance car? The other optin is a driving course out on a race track where they show you how to drive properly, but it would need to be something that gave alot of time on the track.

help is appreciatted and suggestions welcome.

everyone has different tastes but they sound so sweet.

Which Lotus?

All are light and zippy out of the box, but you don't get 'fast' until you get into newer and ideally supercharged models.

Your best bet would be a V8 Supercar drive day or renting an Audi from Europcar. They have A4 and TT ragtops as part of their prestige fleet.

Or...

Speak to kevwrx about his stunt driving course:

My mum did it last weekend - had a ball.

Now she wants to do laps of Sandown in the Exige!

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
