so i took my drift car out to a SAU club day on thursday... didnt change anything except for adding some rear camber to fit 265's on the back. ran RSR fronts and 265 KU36's rear. managed a best time of 1.18.08 at mallala. brakes and lack of decent grip were my two biggest problems but i had a ball.

anyway heres the vid http://vimeo.com/15685328

Agree Harry!

the RB just sounds awesome! the evo sounds....like a gli with an exhaut lol

edit - what were the two times?

and winton looks fun!

High 1.38, Low 1.39

Lack of front end grip with the ku36 / 595rsr really hurts you at winton.

update:

1.24.7 at Sandown on 595rsr

Cal what tyres are you using? You have the car really hooked up.

You using racechrono? give racechrono2avi a go http://www.racechrono.com/news/?p=92

agree with troy. driving on the RSR at nurburgring and then driving the exige on the A050s (or were they 48s?) at Spa the RSRs were very good. I do think they tended to let go a little earlier than the other semi's but they had lots of feel and very progressive when they did start to let go. troy and I worked them pretty hard at the ring overdriving and they are big laps at 24km per lap! I do think they would give away a little to a set of 55s or DZ03G, or AO50s but not nearly as much as I would previously have thought. the car we had them on was pretty quick, turbo FWD with DSG scirroco with brakes, cage and suspension. good times!

PS: wrong link bris. these are the ones: http://www.federaltyres.com.au/ss595rsr

yeah the weather was apalling, and so was the grip (both ends) in my car. I think the tyres were mostly to blame, those commodores drove past me like I was standing still....they easily had 10klm/h more at the apex.

My best lap was 2.10 in race 3....Bob Pearson's emo did a 1.58. Outrageous

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
