Autosalon S.C.O.T.Y.

[Duncan]

Yellow GTRs are soft

I reckon its great to see them out there giving it some, Wakefield is a tricky track to get a quick time, it is certainly not all about power there...I take it the quick cars were running slicks?

[Dahtone Racing]

no its street car of the year they had to run street legal tyres and stereos and interiors etc etc etc

[GTS-t VSPEC]

just to clarify MR WRX has had over 100 runs at WSID and is driven everyday

the reason the gearbox failed was due to a dodgy billet rear input shaft

which wasnt made to the exact clearances that were needed

 

its a real 10 second street car and driving it along you would not pick

it its one of the most comfortable, smooth cars ive been in

and the way brian punishes it all day everyday i am shocked that it lasted this long

 

diablo is also very smooth and easily street driven he regularly drives it from canberra to sydney and has no problems with it

the reason it failed was because TRP made the mistake of using a copper head gasket when they were told not to

I happily stand corrected:D Bit of a bummer that they both failed, but using a copper headgasket on tough car does seem a bit odd. Look forward to seeing the results in AutoSalon Mag:D

[Dahtone Racing]

hence them both leaving and going to a different workshop

TRP is closing soon anyway

[SRP]

to clear things up

the FTR ran 2 10.9 second passses on street tyres and low boost as it was running a standard geabox

it also ran the fastest lap tim of 1:08

it also did 540rwkW on pump fuel with a shot of NOS

its a VERY relaible car that had NO problems on the weeknbd

also OSMANS didnt win the braking- the blue S14 did without ABS and standard brakes with bendix pads....it beat the STi by 4metres

the GTR was also the only car to have full engineering certificates for the car. it did well i every category except fuel efficiency but what do you expect from the curent autosalon power recoird holder?

and before you ask yes i was there as i was competing

WTF?!?!?!?!?

Congratulations

the GTR did run but i cant remember the time

MR WRX has done a 1:04 last time he was there not this time and yes it was the full track

LOL...i have to ask/:(

Who was their to witness/time this 1:04. Considering that quicker then any road car i know of and quicker then GTP WRXs with fully sorted suspension, professional driver, and good response/traction... i have to say someone is talking it up massively, a bit liek me when i say i can do 1:10s around Wakefield:)

As Duncan says, Wakefield is not a power circuit, and a 10sec WRX suggests the thing would be rolling between many of the corners looking for boost?!?!?!?! I have no problem believing it could maybe do a 1:08 or higher, but yeh...ill wait until i read the article...the more i think about it i think the timers may have been helping out a few of the cars with a second here and there:)

[SRP]

i didnt see it do a 1:04

the GTR did 1:08 and the supra did 1:09

Brian is a very good and expeinced driver and has posted some very quck times but it didnt happen that day from waht i was shown.

Do they run slicks?

 and before you ask yes i was there as i was competing

charles told me osmans won it.

as for the GTR funny thing was they kept changing the car before every test

it was loud as all *** when it was on the track and you could smell the C16 but when it was in front of the engineer funny how it only hit 88db.

brians car has mountains of torque because its a 2.5 and isnt a laggy bitch either due to the turbo not being massive like his other car (NOCOMP)

its a every well sorted car and he is a great driver and knows the circuit very well.

the 1:04 was not at the SCOTY day which i said in my earlier post.

[Roy]

Fair enough then, his driving must have improved from the vid i saw of him in a WRX around Oran Park...

Disclaimer...dont read too much into the above statement...i cant drive so sorry if im being a driving std nazi, its just that ...anyway

[Dahtone Racing]

LMAo in the blue one? with the 19s

that was a while ago

[Roy]

Yeh thats the one. Is there a website with the cars suspension setup, that is a kick ass time:)

Me wants Proflex but lucky to be able to afford fuel:(

[Dahtone Racing]

he has coilovers that havnt been released yet from a new company called Sage racing as well as all the other usual stuff. no website though.

[SupaFly Skyline]

how did Jerry's S15 go? just out of curiousity, it being a canberra car and all

[Kor'axis]

which issue is the article gonna be in?

[R31Nismoid]

charles told me osmans won it.

nah, the S15 was owned by Andrew, he said he wont it as he was one of a few cars that didnt need a warm up

[Dahtone Racing]

the only S15 there was jerrys one

there were to S14s though

please dont tell me it was MR dori dori in the blue one

because he locked up and ended up almost doing a 180 cause he tried the hand brake

the only cars that needed a warm up were the autostyle cars LMAO

street cars that need to warm up thier tyres and brakes before going out LOL

****ing pathetic

[BU5TER]

Holy f*ck enoughs enough with the autostyle bashing, we all get it that your mates cars are bigger and faster let it go
