http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=74...playable%3Atrue

They were all laughing and afew were saying "Lucky it did its alternator! :P "

Then afew were saying "Yeah but its also 300/400kg lighter than the Falcon"

Still a good watch!

Make up your own minds.

Ive seen one high octane video. The one where they test the viper in the hills of california and it goes sliding off the side hahahah classic. Poor car but still made me chuckle, like when you see someone trip when they're walking........................shuttup you all do it too

Yeap definatlly the clips from high octane...

I thought the rotor was cool...

The track was no bathurst tho.... The rotor probablly would not make it so well round a big circuit. It was a little nippy car with lots of little legs... The supercar has long legs for long straights...

So i think you will find at a circuit like bathurst (a normal V8 supercar circuit) then the V8 would win hands down.

Thats coming from a person who like V8 supercars & rotor's alike. Non bias opinion.

The track was wakefield park, and the bloke driving the v8 owns the circuit.

But simply, that rotor should be quicker than a v8 supecar at any track. The category the rotor is in in Sports Sedans, and the quickest sports sedans are v8s (like the v8 Saab and Alfas that race the national series). So its a bit of an unfair comparison.

In fact all around australia the quickest race cars are v8s now F1 has also gone v8.

F1

A1 GP

Formula 5000

Sports Sedans with v8s.

Probably the quickest cars that are not v8s are Formula 3, 3l na race cars. Then cars like the rotor sports sedan

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
