Some of the worked V-tech Hondas you see getting round our pretty quick,

fit a better flowing intake and exhaust, shave the head for more compression, more agressive cams, fit a programable ecu and strip as much weight out of the car as you can and you can get them to run 13's.

So if you do the same sort of work to a sportivo there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to go as quick, so being able to beat a stock r32 gts ot gtst really isn't that unbeilivable.

dc5 with exhuast + air filter ran a 14 flat at the drags when i was racing, so im sure with an ecu etc he would have hit the 13;s

Thank-you for using your one and only post on that.

For the record, I'll be happy provide my own R32 for a friendly race against any sportivo claiming to beat a 32 at either Willowbank or Benaraby as we don't condone racing on the streets as you obviously do on your forum.

Enjoy your stay while you're here and try not to learn too much.

Furthermore I don't recall ever racing a Sportivo at Jamboree (or anywhere for the matter) and I think you'll find it is because none of them actually make the 14.99ET cut-off to allow them to enter.

In fact the only corolla of note at this years Jamboree was an AE86 and the only reason it was fast, and was it ever!, was because it had an RB25DET Skyline motor in it.

I'm not one to trash talk other makes but go back to pulsar.org where you have some chance of a valid arguement.

Squizz.

Heh.

I had a squirt with a boxy shape (1986-88 ish) rolla a few weeks ago. The guy thought my car must have been a peice cos he rolled up gave it a few accels (gee up) and then left.

My mate happened to be driving so he did the same. We then pulled over to see what he had.. As I was suprised he had a 4age with a t3 high flow turbo from a rb25 in it he was suprised to have been assed by a worked sr20 :rofl:

Nice guy though - not all rolla's are crap .. having said that it's hardly a sports car. I mean I think there are gemi's out there runnin 11's but you wouldn't catch me dead leaning on one if my corpse ass was on fire O_o

my mate has a new corolla and they have a bit of go. i was actually surprised when i got in it. i dont really think a stock one would be any chance fora r32 gtst but u nenver know what a modded one could do

also about a year ago when test driving cars i had a ride in a 4agze twinky (twin cam boxed shped corolla) and was pretty surpirsed by how quick it was. i think the 4agze is only around 115-130kw but they weigh jack all. spend a couple of grand and throw a turbo on and your laughing. ive always loved old corlloas including SX's.

Hey guys/girls

Firstly i'd like to say that you have some interesting reads on this forum.

One thing that nerves me though is the changing of peoples avatars and signaturs on them (obviously by mods) who are blatently abusing their privledges.

Now whilst I think this topic is an interesting one on this forum, TOCAU site and also the overclockers sight, is there really need for so much blatend sledging of other peoples cars?

I mean has anyone on the TOCAU site bagged your cars to the enth degree and basically told them they are shiet? (not that i see)

Now whilst this is only contained to a few people it does tend to leave an impression for the rest of the forum.

A few people have come to both sites and given their creative criticism and been open minded. Whilst others quite frankly need to grow up and think outside of their small world which is their lunchbox!

For those who have taken this topic with a grain of rice and not said anything thankyou!...also to those who have added some value to it ...thank you....the others....well its not worth mentioning really!

I really do like skyline's and their drivers. I have talked to alot of them and they have been nice enough to return the favour with great conversation (and not baggin other peoples cars) and in most cases given me a friendly sprint on the track!

For the others that continue to lack the mental capacity to string together anything better than "my skiline rocks..and your car is shiet"...im feel sorry for you and your family.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
