I'm not sure that you're comparing apples to apples, I mean the Jap cars are running Nitto's and probably pump fuel. Then again their tracks are also alot slower than WSID as well.

Having said that, it in no way diminishes the results that Paul & Stacey have got with their car - at the end of the day it's a very quick time for a combination that would perform well day to day or on the circuit :( I think if Cabin/Autosalon are still doing that car of the year with track and drag testing it would kick some serious ass (with a slight change in suspension, tyres, fuel and tune for conditions).

I hope Stace has not opened a can of worms by saying what she said........

but to clear a few things up....our tyres are a DOT rated RADIAL tyre the relatively the same construction as nittos...willall racing tried these M/T SDR and found they were not up to scratch. We like them....

the performance of the car on the day power wise, we have got on VP103 and almost matched that power running synergy 8000. We decided to run c16 to give us a bit of headroom, thats all. Full boost on this fuel is 34-35psi not the 28 we ran on the day.

that is all big brother.

now over to you MERLI.......

Moanie, can i just say that although they way Brad says things on-line doesn't always come across as he intended he has always has the best intentions. I know he would love nothing more than to see me do a 10 sec pass in my car one day and take it to the guys as he would any other female car enthusiast as it isn't exactly a female dominated sport. It isn't easy to explain what i mean on here but i hope you understand where i'm coming from :P

Congrats on the PB's everyone, can't wait till the next one :P

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