and whilst we are being logical, i honestly don't see the point in limiting to certain "DOT Approved" tyres. When you look at how wild front running WTA "cars" are they have virtually nothing to do with anything which is DOT approved or street legal whatsoever.

Honestly - I don't see the point to Clubsprint in Time Attack. It's kind of completely against the point of the event to run stockish cars. And this is coming from someone who was supposed to be in Clubsprint. It just doesn't feel like it belongs at this event and given the fastest Clubsprint cars were all bloody open class cars anyways, I think if a field of cars ran around in the guise the class was supposed to be then everyone would just look at them and think "why are they here?".

I reckon they'd be better off having more Open cars and splitting 4WD and 2WD categories and giving more reward / focus to good 2WD entries.

So instead of 50 Open class cars and 25 Clubsprint they could have roughly 30 AWD Open and 30 2WD Open cars and scrap Club. Top 5 from each get Pro invites for the following year.

My 2c anyways.

That sounds like a good idea. It would move to stop every car entered being an Evo also.

I find it hilarious that STI's, being an Evo competitor/rival, was no where to be seen! Cannot discredit an Evo because it is a very well engineered car/chassis and is a tuner's dream... whether it be dirt, snow and tarmac. An Evo even took out the drift comp lol

At the pro level the car doesn't really matter.

Evo's are popular because they are well, popular Lol I wouldn't say they represent a better overall package one way or another especially when you're basically talking about sports sedan levels of chassis development.

I've always noticed a big difference in the 2 cars. The Evo engine will produce bigger power easier than the Sti. It seems to be far easier to make a quick club lever car out of them over the Sti. Yet I would say the Sti is a far more popular street car then the Evo for them masses and the Evo is more for the people that know what cars are.

Ordered :thumbsup:

STIs can oversteer... why would you want an EVO?

Give that man a raise!

I prefer STi's to Evo's - but the Evo is a better club car.

Finally got my story finished - as part of Mark Berry's crew this year with my ATTESA controllers etc. I have put it up on my website www.timeattacktalk.com

I will hopefully get the tech one written this week with data logging results etc. (still catching up on sleep :) )

Interesting article Paulie, In the couple of brief chats I had with Mark he was pumped with the performance and tuneability of the new controllers.

And I could not agree more with the comments on the 32 gtr. That car sounds amazing.

I like the way you think!

Wish that was true and a skyline was up the front... Clearly the 4cyl (lighter) cars have a bit of an edge over the cars that men drive...

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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.
