Blood Sweat And Gears

[SLY R33]

Just seeing how many people saw the 1st episode in the series on Fox8 last nite?

I think it looks to be a good show in the coming weeks.

For the people who did see it, who does everyone think is going to win?

and what does everyone think of the cars that are on there?

i would personally like Dom to win in his RX7 Mazda because he is from good old adelaide hehe

agreed mate....1+ to Dom from winning the show lol

[MikeyGTRmike]

[Import S13]

^^^^^^ you didnt miss much

but its on once a week i think same time and the next one should be abit better.

i want that stingray!

[WLD MAN]

They played the same episode again today(Saturday) incase you missed it

The Mazda RX7 is pro, wanna see what it runs in the quarter

I watched it (been waiting a few weeks for it to air) and I was quite puzzled by Luff.

He drove the v8's, found them over-powered and under handled and a handful to drive in the skidpan exercise yet rated them high. But then with Andrew's 200SX he said it handled very well, good power, very quick around the exercise yet rated it the lowest?

I have a feeling Luff will rate the v8's high no matter what due to being Holden/Ford and he drives Holden/Ford everyday and im not just saying that because this is an import forum and I own imports.

[Madaz]

yeah just finished watching it looks ok haven't seen Luffs finding as its a advert

[Ronin]

I can tell you now that the Brock will win, not because it's the best, because it's a Brock on Aussie TV.

[t01-100]

i was disappointed by the show, how on earth can luffy genuinely rate how good a car is by tooling around traffic cones!

how can he comment on grip, power, handling and brakes while restricting cars to low speed and minimal g force... i'm no expert, but have raced amongst some good names and experience tells me that naturally the v8s are going to be tops around extreme low speed corners with massive torque!

i hope things get better... but maybe i just want a turbo to win!

[KISIN]

i love what this topic on ns.com turned into haha.

Still havent seen the 1st ep...*coughuploadcough*

[*flick*]

Just read the Ns version of this thread, funny.

COuldnt be bothered watching it..

[CS_180]

ian luff "IN MY OPINION" is a big mouthed twat that doesnt know how to drive anything that isnt v8 .............didnt have a clue with the turbo 4 or the rotary

[SLY R33]

well its that time of week again for it to be on.

this week its the 1/4 and half mile, shall be good to see what Dom gets, and hopefully beat them v8s haha

and also to see if the ferrari does any good like the dude says haha

[Sinful]

It looks like a good show Entertaining...

I actually seen the guy out of the red VL brock the other night, thought that was cool

The RX7 is so nice...

Where they hosted the first episode (Shepparton) is where the victorians SAU hold there DECA its an awesome skidpan

[MikeyGTRmike]

hopefully dom has the clutch fixed so we can see what his car is fully capable of.

[Ronin]

It would have been nice if they told us the damn quarter times or any frikkin times for that matter. This show isn't good.

[benm]

The points certainly aren't awarded based on results, only on Luff's opinion.

[SLY R33]

yes was gay how they didnt show the times! does get a bit boring with all the boring talk lol

and i think Dom did the best on the drag strip he went like a rocket!

was funny how the 200 snapped the axel haha unlucky for him

[burnsie]

the little torana did a 12.4 for his 1/4 mile

[nvmyre]

lol we didnt want them to show the times because it wasnt a preped track or even a decent runway you would of seen all the weeds growing up through the tarmac then ontop of that there was the loose gravel ............we were not happy about the surface they made us run on ....

they had a good runway but then that got cancelled the day before we filmed this so this was the one we ended up with ......

i got there with literally 2 min to spare if i had of been 2 min later they wouldn't of let me run so i was on a new clutch had already stalled it like 3 times on the way out to the air field trying to get used to the different feeling clutch ... and while i was on the start line i was like do i just take of slow and steady and risk stalling it or just give it enough to take off and worry about the wheel spin later it wheel spun hard off the line as you would of seen the car was skating all over the place in first and second ....but then it got grip and took off i can tell you my 1/4 mile was slower than the Torrie but my 1/2 smashed everyone so if i had of taken off nicely off the line i dare say i would of blitzed them all ...

it took me 4 seconds to cover the second 1/4 mile ..with a top speed of 260km if i had of got a decent take off would of been near 300 id say
