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 patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
