not bad for a self propelled lifesize replica of a jelly bean... does it have any weapons?

-D

nice car :)

i was worried it'd be a two door lancer with altezza lights, 18inch cromies and a gay droid body kit :cheers:

phew!

yeah i thought i would stick to a 2.5Lt turbo instead. the Altezza light lancers were tempting.

nearly already traded it in on a renault megane cup

Looking good nick lol at hairdresser when you coming over to cut my hair

those reno's are good too from factory they boost good and handling is exceptional went for a cruise through the gorge once with a heap of skylines and none of the rwd could keep up and even i was struggling

dont even go there luke at least he got the huffer version

yeah sam have to admit i have been driving it briskly lately and haven't had any issue even at rbt's ect

liking the "launch control" too (holds it at 3500RPM in 1st as that the best RPM for a launch with reduced torque steering)

through the hills point to point it would easily out do skylines.

Andrew can vouch for the handling through the round abouts the other day

Nice car nick! :cheers:

Contemplated getting one of these for my current lease through work, but just not quite enough room for all the gear when we go away with the little one so ended up with the Liberty GT instead. Was rather impressed by the equipment list they have, nice looking german rocket!

hahaha hairdressers car :cheers:

All jokes aside, she is a nice car mate. And yes, I certainly can vouch that they go very hard - would easily crucify a stocky R33, and would toast even a pretty well set up mild R33 through the hills!

Is this comparing it against an R33 GTR V-Spec Series III? Which is about the same price bracket... or comparing with an R34 GTR within the same year? or an R32 GTR modified to the same value?

lol they go pretty good :cheers: my boss as work just got 1, let me drive it when it had just 60ks on the clock.

im trying to con her into coming to fnf drive in antics in it.

is it a new 1? the lv?

i hear the clutches dont let you do a burnout though something engages and prevents it.

does yours put the hazards on when you brake hard?

lol youll be joining these forums soon then

14.4 quarter aint bad for a fwd, lil rolling start would help em spank a few decent cars.

Good to see u can connect to interweb again Nick. Nice pick up....any plans for any basic mods?

...and here I thought you were taking it easy due to havin a car load :D. The Megane sports makes the cutest bov sound and they do handle pretty well through the hills, but there have been instances when their Brembo brakes may experience serious brake fade on downhill sections :) and struggle when a particular silver rwd R33 pushes it to its paces.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
