I was pretty impressed at how hard people were going round 'Iron Chef Corner' and the straight following.

its pretty fun when its wet, limiter in 3rd with only 140kw, no chance at doing the whole corner in the dry with my car tho

Tailem ran a 400m event last year (September if I remember right)

It was good enough for my EVO X to run an 11.9

and a mates turbocharged LS1 a 12.2 (on Achilles street tyres of all things)

Now apparently its unsafe to run cars 400m there - although the surface was totally fine, CAMS even let us run in the wet, and there was no problem with that either. Let the Sporting Car Club run these meets and they will be 400m. For some reason ANDRA seem hell bent on making everything into an 1/8th mile....we already have four such tracks. We do not need another.

Standing 1000m would be even better. The deep end is where the fun is.

For a cheaper sport, try knitting, not castrating drag racing.

Twenty 20 short format suits cricket, not cars IMO.

Lobby the Sporting Car Club and we will get the 400m events back :)

Truer words have never been spoken.

I might head out for some runs at this 1/8th mile thing in August just for a look (haven't been to the TB track before), and for some legal tyre warmup burnouts (assuming they are still allowing THAT)

I just ran my car in hicas diagnostics mode and it flashed once but nothing else (to my understanding that tells me there are no problems) am I correct?

Car is 93 r32 Gtr with standard steering wheel and all that jazz..

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
