Nice work Russell & Ryan!

Hoped I would do better than 20th but that's a big improvement over 26th last time. I need to work on my wangs :(

List of excuses:

-Tyres scrubbing guards on every turn :(

-Fat passenger :banana:

-I'm a pussy with my daily driver :P

Damn, I thought I'd do a lot better than that. Those WD (and spinning out) really kill you!

Goes to show thought that you can do quite well without a huge amount of power. I managed better than decent times here and there, just lack the conistency! Guess that comes with driving skill and experience.

You're right about being more aggressive though, on my last mini wang run I went all out and managed a good time, and I know I wasn't at the car limits - just mine. :banana:

Yep, unless you got issues with your car it's almost all driver for these events. Agree totally, it's cool that with these results you can see where you did really well and know that if you were consistent in doing that everytime then you'd do much better overall.

595s are shit.

Go Hankook S1 EVOs or Conti SportContactIIs or the Kumhos Russell runs. 245s are plenty too.

RE001's are in the same area and price range as well for another option.

When i picked mine up they were the same price as the EVO's actually.

I think that's changed now though

Thanks but if "NA challenge" means normally aspirated the Lancer doesnt fit that bill.

it's basically an rb18det but is in the 2WD class for sure specifically FWD :thumbsup: understeer come on down.

go Russman! and also well done to the Clive in the Lancer for taking out the highly contested "NA challenge"..

    • Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.
    • So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?
    • This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...
    • There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
    • Haha I do that.. thats when it chirps..The bit point for me is almost non-existent. Otherwise I stall it. But yes, in terms of performance, the clutch is solid af.
