The POV1 do take good footage...but top little cars and a great track!

that camera is great quality!... I'm so jealous, I almost bought an Elfin instead of the GTR and after watching your video I think I should have... looks like heaps of fun that track, thanks for posting

I'll have to upload some of mine. You make it look to easy. I have a lot more efforts of trying to destroy the poor little car - although who ever thought not putting ABS into a car is an idiot IMO. lol

That looks like a blast. Where was my invite? I busted my hump at crumy Winton and your out at Spa. So who got the fastest time?

I have never had a serious go in a car with ABS so i actually found the Golf at the Ring pretty shit with the way it pushed back against your foot and resulted in inconsistant pedal feel. So wasnt a fan of how ABS felt, no ABS is the way to go, 100% :devil:

The car did try to kill Snowie, me and it had an understanding coming from the 10 or so laps i did in the wet, where i was whispering in its ear to not kill me :D

I am hoping to go back in September when they have the new R300 Racecars, so if you are interested....i will keep in touch. Have to see what work calender has me doing, may have to be a UK track in October

Your Winton laps are going to take some beating...i dont even know how many pieces my car is in....after the Caterham i think i want to drive proper race cars, not shitty street cars with a turbo setup. It was just so responsive to what you wanted it to do as opposed to my car which takes so mcu crystal ball reading mid corner and man handling...your car seems to be improving on the consistancy front

Haha - I'm currently uploading both of our inertia clips in the one video at home. My upload speeds are horrid though - 13hrs for the one 6min vid :)

I have a few more to load over the next few..... months. Will have to bring them into work and upload them instead.

Yeah it's possible. But I still just think it just decided not to stop because we weren't friends like you guys were. (I think the car is a 4WD/ABS hater deep down!) You can see I don't even think about down-shifting to 4th as I knew as soon as I put my foot on the brake we weren't stopping.

Although you know how many issues I had with the shoe situation. You can really hear how I have to roll off the trottle way earlier than you so that I can lift my left foot out of the way so I can use the brake pedal. And also how under brakes and trying to down-shift I had to have my left foot higher than my right foot (because there wasn't room to fit both feet) so I either don't depress the clutch enough and can't grab gears - or else I press the brake too hard (to get enough clutch distance) and lock the front tyres.

It was a good challenge though!!! (I should have just got some shoes too like you did).

I do have some much better sessions where I can drive ok - as well a bunch more bad stuff (we definitely didn't bond! I mean the car even tried to Massa me at one point!) so I'll slowly upload some more over the next few days (and this time select the right aspect ratio!)

Yeh, well i am glad i bought the shoes. The second i sat in the car i knew that sneakers were a no-go from when i tried to pilot a Formula Ford, in the car park i thought i would be ok only for it to turn into a mad panic attack when i could not hit the right pedal.

Sittng here in London it looks like the Consulate are going to royaly screw me which means i have alreay checked with Jonny and the R400 is available for Zandvoort next Tuesday. So if my visa is getting knocked back then at least i will have my passport back. This Near Life Experience may still have some legs :(

Jesus, you're a game man uploading that mate! lol

Hey, are they snowflakes on your helmut Snowflake?

Says the man who drove though a fence (twice)! :( The good news is I have a collection of more commical moments uploading now.

And yes they are snowflakes my good man!

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
