I think the lack of chicaines is going to hurt the emo's and wrx's. Rossarden is going to be really fast without those chicains, will be lots of time to make up with good notes, as it will be bloody scary for most.

Totally agree, if the two girls in the Unique Evo were in the main game, well, there'd be something wrong if they weren't giving Jeff a real good run for his money in E Mod. Reading through the list I'm actually suprised how relatively uncompetetive it looks! Why did Shaw pull out?

I wouldn't be too concerned for the Evo's and STi's Benny, from some of the figures I hear the things make when nicely tuned on E85 it's actually the Lambo and Porsche guys that should be worried! lol

And I totally agree on Rossarden, I'd be running full peak coming over that crest without a chicane there as a buffer :D I hope everyone has good brakes!

I think shaw was scared off by this wepon http://www.targa.org.au/Competitors/profil...0Early%20Modern . E Mod dosn't look like it'll get any media coverage at this rate. we'll have to create some media interest for 2011 :D

still don't know if E85 is worth it, you've got more power, but your lugging extra weight around. I've heard some people say they'd need a 120l in a emo to run it.

One of my relitive is running a block of flats (volvo 242) in the rookie classic, i've told him not to crash, as the greens will kill him from putting such a big hole in the scenery :D

Well Im doing Targa now woo yeh! Except I'll be one of the first cars on the road every day and not appear in the results...

Navving for a bloke in the Zero Car, its a Mazda 6 Sport Diesel being supplied by Mazda for the event. Should be a bit of fun, no pressure and still get a buzz :cool: and importantly it will get me back on notes in preparation for Mt. Stuart Sprint with Benny in June. It has been 12 months since I looked at pace notes and I pulled some out the other day and began scratching my head. What tha fudge does that mean :ermm:

Oh and I didn't want to go off topic in the the other thread about Serge's R34, but am I right in saying that E85 will be compulsary from 2011??? Im sure I read it somewhere...

If it were the case with Arrowsmith maybe they could put a pitstop in half way and make it F1 style (IE you can win it or lose it in the pits Lol!)

Good to see you're in Timmy, even if it's in one of those Mazda things :thumbsup:

And good to see the smack down talk has started, albeit a little late.

I'm back in with the llama in the new & improved ATTKD Select SP- Go Car 803!

Should be an interesting Targa, some of my local mates are already predicting it will be wet?

Totally agree, if the two girls in the Unique Evo were in the main game, well, there'd be something wrong if they weren't giving Jeff a real good run for his money in E Mod. ...

Oi....just 'cos we're good looking AND fast! :P

Seriously though, have tried numerous times dangling the full Targa carrot in front of Handbags, but to no avail. "You only get to have a crack at Rookie once" says he. Well experience says I get to do it twice! :P

Fingers crossed we can set the place alight (so to speak) and show some form on the results page come Thursday night.

Kel, are you guys staying at the Penny Royal again?

what trick bits does a ATTKD Select SP have?

I'd tell you Ben, but then I'd have to kill you :P

Lucky Stu came good with the info

Yep Dan, staying at Penny Royale again - is that where you are?

We should organise an SAU catch up, everyone's schedules permitting?

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
