GOLDEN THREAD

Pity Im not a betting man, dont bet, or Id lay down some on Heslo, just 'cause he might.

While I argue its unfair 'cause the borrower (Chef) can thrash it flat to the floor, give it back & have not a care in the world for consequences (big crash)... whilst the owner might drive 'not quite' flat out due to the nature of the beast, ie sentimental / personal value of the car.

In other words Chef can drive it 100% vs Heslo at 97.5%, always holding "just that little bit" back. In this instance Chef by a good half-second.

I see Chef setting the times and Heslo bettering his in his attempt to reach the golden 100% all-in threshold

If Heslo reaches this 100% spot for a lap he'll see 1.18.7's to Chefs 1.19.4's

Go Heslo. Give it some.

+1 with tangles comment.

i wouldn't let anyone drive my car at the track - let alone to beat my own personal records etc.

Luke has guts/trust/big balls for letting the Chef fang his car

theres alot of love/trust between the group of us. many a times swapping cars. theres not alot that can go wrong with the car, other than mechanically.

If you crash at Mallala curcuit racing, you'd have to be doing some stupid shit

This is a no brainer, one person owns the car and pays the bills for it, the other doesn't... it's like driving a hire car, use and abuse ;) Chef to go 1:18.99 vs Luke 1:19.55

Improved Production record is well below 16's now, Tony Wallis in his Mazda 808 has gone 1:14.97 - control tyre, width and diameter limited rim, and a mere 230ish rear wheel killerwasps.

Track day out there last year, tidy Datto 1600 destroyed - B pillars about half the distance apart than OEM. A daily driver STI, Integra R and another car I can't recall - might have been an FTO - all major damage, structural, fire wall, etc. A couple of them were minding their own business, wrong place, wrong time.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
