Sensational drive there Boz!!!

I own a turbo s2k as well and I fully understand how twitchy this high powered, short + narrow wheel base car it can be. After seeing how you steered I realised why I can't drive my s2k as fast as my bnr32.......I need LOTS of lap time with it. Very inspirational drive Boz. If you do come to QLD to teach, please drop me a PM. I will try my best to attend :ermm:

PS I am surpised that Elias has not put a roll cage in that car yet :D Do you know the weight of the car?

lol Elias has thought about it. Because it has never been a specific track car and was/is his daily driver/toy it would probably just make it a little too hard to carry his kids.

I would think it is a fair bit heavier than standard. I am pretty sure a standard car is 1200+kg. Maybe you would know the standard weight.

We shouldn't get carry away with Honda on a forum like this lol

I wont post some rolled s2k pictures to scare you but yes you are right honda claims that the car is something like 1250kg but I think that is a dry weight. Still too heavy for a little thing.

It looks like you had a lot of practice in this s2k. You seem to know exactly how the car behave.

Was there any 180 on the day?

I'm sure they weight a bit the same, a good set up 180 or s15 would still give that Honda a good run for its money.

LOL West, watch the video again :P My car could perhaps even go close to the S2000, only it wouldnt have had Bozman driving it :(

The car use to have a GT35 when it was running straight line stuff. It now runs a GT32 to give it some mid corner speed at the track.

I think a good set up 180 or S15 would give it a run.

Practise lol if you call 4 or 5 laps in the car around Oran, I suppose you can call that practise :P

Holy moly! nice lap mark. that is stupid fast. There is such a big gap from say say 1:20 down to the 1:12s you guys were doing in the 32. Especially considering it's still a road based car. Very impressive especially so when you consider mark has done less than 50 laps of Oran park by my count.

Geeez, the R32 is hauling ass. Well done Mark, great effort in being less than second behind the Lotus.

I must say I'm more impressed with the R35, the times Russ was punching out in standard trim with standard rubber is amazing.

Will the R34 be ready for the next one Russ??? Rumour has it its in 3 months time...

hey guys just thought i would let you know i have posted up a lap of mark running around

what's even more impressive about the 35 times is the speed de-limiter stopped working half way through the day! I think Russ' best time was set with the limiter working. :(

Comparing that to the S2000 vid you can see that with more practice around OP Mark would definitely go faster. Or maybe just let John Boston drive next time... :(

Different cars, different tyres and need to be driven differently. So i dont think you can say Mark is giving away much behind the wheel jsut from looking at that vid

Nice vid Russ and it gets going out of corners well. I can't wait to see in car vid thea the Ignition DVD crew took with in car camera in the boat with Bozman driving, and sure to be handfull and taily compared to Marks drive.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
