Yeah, that little sideways on the warmup lap was the lock stops (it doesn't have much lock at all), nice catch Mark :)

IMO, that really is some excellent driving for a guy who's been to Bathurst twice in two years, in two different cars.

have to agree. Bathurst has to be the most damanding track in the country with those fast blind corners over crests and stuff with concrete lining the edge of the track. In the vid he looks like he's been going there for years like the pros. very impressive!

is the plan to race sport sedans when its sorted? Would be great to see this thing on telly mixing it up with Hossack & Ricciardello! Definitely has the potential in both car and driver.

The downforce was unbeliveable at speed.

Mark was astonished with force trying to make him part company with the seat over the crests, it was litterally trying to lift you out of the seat the car was stuck to the road so hard.

Any predictions for the time when the car finally sees Lakeside? (was to be this sunday but lack of all wheels driving put an end to that :))

I have NFI what's realistic to expect at those low flying type of speeds!

Sport Sedan record is 51.12 by Briggs in his Chev Civic in 1996. That's a seriously great time. Faster than the V8 Supercars ever went. Their record was 51.44 by Seto. Skaife ran a high 52 in the GTR in qualifying in 1991.

the revised track is certaily a little faster... but he has to learn the track and the car is still so new... I dunno, but it will be awesome to see. you have to let me know when its happening! Put me down to lend a hand as crew if needed.

33 is looking for a new home, but with Russ up north now, it's left to the rest of us to finish it off and move it on. When are you back Roy with a pocket packed with Euros?

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
