Hohohohoho

We just got rid of the last of the 5 race team Escorts, glad to see the black of the rusting, oil dripping, unreliable, piles of Pommy crap.

Don't go there Roy

Don't even think of it

cheers

[Roy]

Properly built Escorts are awesome. I love wathching them being built...so cool. And the sound

Your the only guy that has played with a GTSt and you are up north. I only have so much to spend and cant afford to be developing/trialling stuff for the car...thats where im envious of the Vic GTR guys as they have Racepace to sort very quick cars first time for them

As for an Escort, i know the guy to use to get one to handle great and sort for me. Im running out of money and just want my car to give me a few months of reliable running then i will be happy. But will see what can be done with my suspension when i get it shipped off to you. LOL. I stumbled onto a killer engine setup without any traouble...wish i could be so lucky as to get a killer susp setup as well

If only i could afford this...

Twin Cam seam welded CK49 shell, Chrome Molly cage, alloy arches, 2 litre alloy BDG, dry sumped, new twin plate Tilton clutch, Quaife 5 speed, 5 link rear end, alloy radiator, hubs, tanks and pedal box. 4 wheel discs, adjustable shocks, compression struts and bars. I so want this car...sadly its worth 3 times what my GTSt is worth

thats a nice piece of gear.

but id still prefer a 510 coupe with a LZ20b in it hehe go nissan!!

[Roy]

Oops. Too late. Bent car means dont give a fark anymore about fixing its stability problems. Car is inherently pretty stable when wedged between tyres and barrier

So lesson learnt. If you have an ill handling car then pay the speeds you do at the track a little more respect and sort the problem and dont get comfortable driving around the problem.

So, these Bilsteins....i think i may have great fun using them as legs for my new coffee table

[Cubes]

Doesn't sound too good.

Got Pics?

[Roy]

Pics? LOL. Saddist

..of course, and video footage

Im being silly really...its not that bad.

But the fact is the car whilst braking in a straight line swapped ends on me in a real hurry. Not a hint of what was about to come. So off to do some headscratching. Most of all im dirty because up until that point i had man handled the car around to be 3rd quickest. Missing the last 3 sessions allowed 2-3 more cars to go quicker then me. I would have easily pulled another 0.5 seconds off my best. If i was able to balance the car and use 3rd gear instead of 4th there is again about that much time again

Im wondering if the big swaybars and sissy springs with semi slicks mean that over bumps and when the car is loading its outside tyres that the thing is unweighting the inside tyres and the results are some pretty wicked skids from locked brakes, or at least the car squirming under brakes.

At the end of the day...its time to ship the car off to the mechanic for new suspensio. Forget my own reserach and farking around doing things multiple times. He has made my lil 32 a strong heart, i trust him to give it grace it with some fancy footwork

What troy didn't mention is when his car 'swapped' ends it was doing close to 200k/h

[Roy]

LOL...no idea...my eyes were shut ... Mummmmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

[Ronin 09]

Fark.

[Beer Baron]

poor troy. not your fault though. it was the hand of god reaching out to touch you.....inapropriately that is. I disctinctly heard a cloud say: "Take that, Brisby" before a giant hand came down and flicked the rear end of your car.

[Roy]

The hand should have had a set of multi-grips and been trying to tighten the loose nut behind the wheel.

Looking at the video footage i cant believe i thought it was ok to continue to drive the car. I thought i was on top of it, but wrestling a car from corner to corner isnt what it should be about.

[Rolls]

Care to share the video/pics ?

What state is the car in now ?

[Roy]

I have a car to repair...so for $10 i will let ppl view the footage

Hey, i have to pay the bills somehow , as the car is in a state of needing repairs

[Cubes]

You do COD?

[TurboX]

Move along.... Nothing to see here..

[Cubes]

All you mugs in the photo are damn SADDISTS!!!

Look at you all with grins ear to ear.

I'd be surprised if Troy wasn't crying inside.. I know I would be.

[Rolls]

I'd be surprised if Troy wasn't crying inside.. I know I would be.

I'd be one very sad panda.

[Roy]

Frankly im more worried about how hlemet hair makes me look as though im going bald. Fark, im not going bald am i?

lol

Troy... Thats not one of those chick "does my bum look fat" type questions is it?

I shouldn't throw stones in glass houses; I'm starting to find a couple of reoccurring grey hairs. I rip the bugger(s) out, a couple of weeks later I found there back!
