Hehe haters gotta hate

Longest "straight" is enough to get the Honda up to about 120 (limiter in 3rd) if I get the previous corner exit OK. Remember it's only got 120kW, and weighs well over 1000kg so certainly not a drag weapon (I peak out at about 175-180 down the straight at Lakeside). I'd say the faster AWD guys would possibly get up to 130 - 140 (total guess there). I have no idea how long the straight is, but that might give you a bit of an idea. Besides, it's not really a straight, but generally enough to let you keep it flat for the length of it.

Here's a vid of an Evo running the course to show you the track.

Any AWD on semis will do well out there, specially if you're not afraid to get it sliding a bit. The slower AWD's tend to drive within the friction limits (or go totally nuts and hang it sideways everywhere). I'd say a decently prepped emo, with experienced driver should shake up the top guys quite nicely.

Pity about the R35 comment - I'd like to see one run. Maybe if I ever end up owning one it will make it out there.

I wanna go :) I think low range runs out at about 100 from memory, so might have to stick in high ;) - but the bloody stability control doesn't turn all the way off unless in Low. Grrrr

A 35 would go well no doubt, cheater gearbox.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.

      yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
