it sure has some rapid acceleration! braking is out of this world good too.

I'm heading there in September for a few days of ring driving. I'm sure I can do better than this hack.... will post vids after... lol.

That is unreal, the sound alone is worth playing the video.

Quick question though - according to the on screen timer, he does an 8:09 or thereabouts. Does that mean the R35 is a full forty seconds faster than this thing around the ring?! If so, wow.

Am i missing something?

You are indeed mate :) This is 8.09 of the Nordschleife and the GP circuit. All quoted ring figures are for the Nordschleife only. This thing takes around 1:20 to do the GP circuit, so you can do the maths!

Steve: More info on it... if you can read German. But my guess is a shlt load of power, bugger all weight, from the sound of it some serious winders, and one half decent steerer!

There's easily more time to be had in that lap.

Just kidding... but I think there was one corner he seemed to brake a smidge early and was a smidge late on the throttle.

Well compared to every other 50+ corners that are on the GP and Nordschleife circuit he was turning it in, and BAM on the throttle!!

That was just awesome!

I love how out the back of the Nordschliefe section after the forest there are a series of Esses. He takes them at 240km/hr!!!

Good to see the 301km/hr down the big straight.

Mental just mental.

When it looks fast on camera, it must be bloody terrifying sitting in the car. Would not like to be a passenger. But I'll drive it. :)

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
