Most of the top guys don't want to punt a Skelta fast cause they don't feel safe in it, let alone a R400.

Speaking of crashes, that blue evo that hit the power pole only had a bolt in cage. Which surprised me

My boss has the new 2L turbo FWD TT... really nice car to sit in, interior is a little cramped but very high quality... driving position is great as long as your not too tall... but its still a TT and as such I feel just a little feminine when driving it... handles great, VERY responsive on the throttle, has great torque down low

I'm sure its big brother the TTRS would be more manly... matte black does help... remember you are required to wear your blue tooth headset at all time when behind the wheel of a TT!

Matte white TT-RS with the dark intekes etc looks the goods. Certainly a lot less famanine than the series 1.

Nick, what are you still doing in here anyway? Weren't you banned? :(

oh wait what... this is SAU motorsport section!?... sorry I thought I was on myboyfrienddrivesanaudi.com

We had a good look at/sit in/feel of matt's TTRS pre-his mail delivery service gone bad. Was a lil cramped to get in/out of due to the exceptional cage, but a warm home once in, maybe a quick-release wheel or works bell flip up might make life a lil easier, but true credit to his build. They are a much nicer car than the early hairdresser spec cars.

I was so impressed with how it went considering how stock it was (stock magnetic suspension, stock brakes etc). Chuck a Haldex torque controller in to send more drive to the rear and it would be amazing.

I was amazed how much of the car is made of alloy, wouldn't have made building the cage easy!

Funni.... The guy looked right through me, wouldn't have had a clue who I was. lol ......

I had similar experience with the worlds fastest driver and best magazine editor. (they are the same person) lol

HAHA, don't be gangin up on me. Bloody hell, gives you girls an inch........

You'd take an inch.....

besides you must be gay knocking back an offer from a certain blonde girl girl at targa time.

So a broken drivers seat sitting on the consol didnt surprise you...

Its the cardboard box theory... an open box upside down has strength... with opening up - weak as p155.

Ask Simon Evans - even the best cage is not going to work best in a big sill impact, that is more car strength.

Hehe, he is nothing. After a night at the strippers i jumped in the lil R32 and chopped him at Sandown. And ther great thing is unlike my chop on the F430 at Winton this one was caught on tape :P

opening credits...chop, chop....frkn chop!

If it had been this blonde there wouldnt have been any discrimination or knokcing back :P

I was there when the offer was made, and there again 5 minute's later when he realized what

he just done!!! IT WAS GOLD..... like a kid that had drop his icecream......lol

Well, talk about a late call-up. On the plane tomorrow morning (thurs) to Adelaide to recce for the ASP this weekend. Due to a fellow nav having to pull out, i got a call at 11am this morning. Looking forward to trying a new event even if the longest stage is only 10ish kms :D

Oh, and being a CAMS event...enough said. lol

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • 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.
