...and I'm out :)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

There will be a next time man. Look at it as a good thing dude. There are always teething problems after a big build. Better they hapen close to home than in another state.

Sorry to hear once again.

Thanks for the offer Steve, but you won't have what I need unfortunately, and I don't want to do a patch job on the car to get it there. It'll be too costly, and the whole reason I pulled the car off the road was to get it all done right :)

Nathan: PM sent mate, don't want to say it publically as it was a custom made part.

Adz: Cheers man. It probably is for the best, and I was always planning on getting a few Sandown runs in before it went as it's nice and close, but it was going to be a midnight on the trailer thing as it was, and this has just thrown a major spanner in the works.

I'm still planning on coming up to check it out, so I'll see you all there :D

A quick question to superlap. How much of the body are you allowed to lighten? Can you replace to whole body with carbon? Or like sports sedans, do you still have to retain the original roof?

Well now that the exiges have entered..........I think they will do 11's or 12's. I think the quickest I have done is a 14, in a restricted GTR. I don't think any GTR will do a 10 or 11 unless they are on a slick. It does not matter how much power you have, it still has to go through 'R' compounds. My opinion anyway :)

I am pretty sure the quickest exige does a 9 on slicks.

So yes my money is on the exiges :sick:

Pppftttt, siff an exige will be the fastest..... :)

TEH GTR CAN NEVA LOSE!!!!!! :)

My money is on a GTR to be the fastest in both classes....

Do not under estimate any Lotus. HKS took the super cheater spec EVO that holds the Tsukuba Super Lap

record to Sepang and there was a car that was developed by Proton or something that wiped the floor with it. It was up for sale a few months ago and sold for about 230,000 pounds.

Just looked to see if there are any vids and i think this is the car

The Lotus Sports Exige 300RR was built for Lotus' parent company, Proton Cars. Based on the award winning aluminum bonded chassis of the production Elise, the Exige 300RR was Intended to be Lotus' reentry into International level motorsports.

people doing 1:12 and under i just cant get it through my head!!

i was at Oran Park GP yesterday and today for FOSC winter invitation and got a 1:22.6 (on dunlop hard compound semi's) and that was pushing real hard (destroyed my exhaust and alignment - from my aggressive lines:P) and dave raddatz in the mx5mania mx5 on slicks did 1:16s (and he is farkn fast)

would be bloody amazing to see some1 lap at under 1:12!!!

My allignment was also completely shot after a recent outting there as well.

Boz drove the car his way so I started following suit trying to use every last inch of concrete which trashed the allignment but it is all fixable.

yer same, i kerb hop every corner practically :woot:, basicly every corner that is part of the short circuit (from the S's to the straight) is where i am destroying my alignment... especially top of the hill over the apex and the last corner get the inside wheels over the kerb on the grass and pulls you through the corner... :D that screwed me over once though :) haha

    • Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)
    • 4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.
    • Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.
    • Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.
    • Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
