...and I'm out :)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

There will be a next time man. Look at it as a good thing dude. There are always teething problems after a big build. Better they hapen close to home than in another state.

Sorry to hear once again.

Thanks for the offer Steve, but you won't have what I need unfortunately, and I don't want to do a patch job on the car to get it there. It'll be too costly, and the whole reason I pulled the car off the road was to get it all done right :)

Nathan: PM sent mate, don't want to say it publically as it was a custom made part.

Adz: Cheers man. It probably is for the best, and I was always planning on getting a few Sandown runs in before it went as it's nice and close, but it was going to be a midnight on the trailer thing as it was, and this has just thrown a major spanner in the works.

I'm still planning on coming up to check it out, so I'll see you all there :D

A quick question to superlap. How much of the body are you allowed to lighten? Can you replace to whole body with carbon? Or like sports sedans, do you still have to retain the original roof?

Well now that the exiges have entered..........I think they will do 11's or 12's. I think the quickest I have done is a 14, in a restricted GTR. I don't think any GTR will do a 10 or 11 unless they are on a slick. It does not matter how much power you have, it still has to go through 'R' compounds. My opinion anyway :)

I am pretty sure the quickest exige does a 9 on slicks.

So yes my money is on the exiges :sick:

Pppftttt, siff an exige will be the fastest..... :)

TEH GTR CAN NEVA LOSE!!!!!! :)

My money is on a GTR to be the fastest in both classes....

Do not under estimate any Lotus. HKS took the super cheater spec EVO that holds the Tsukuba Super Lap

record to Sepang and there was a car that was developed by Proton or something that wiped the floor with it. It was up for sale a few months ago and sold for about 230,000 pounds.

Just looked to see if there are any vids and i think this is the car

The Lotus Sports Exige 300RR was built for Lotus' parent company, Proton Cars. Based on the award winning aluminum bonded chassis of the production Elise, the Exige 300RR was Intended to be Lotus' reentry into International level motorsports. The one of a kind Exige 300RR is powered by a 400BHP Swindon built GM V6 derived from a DTM unit.

people doing 1:12 and under i just cant get it through my head!!

i was at Oran Park GP yesterday and today for FOSC winter invitation and got a 1:22.6 (on dunlop hard compound semi's) and that was pushing real hard (destroyed my exhaust and alignment - from my aggressive lines:P) and dave raddatz in the mx5mania mx5 on slicks did 1:16s (and he is farkn fast)

would be bloody amazing to see some1 lap at under 1:12!!!

My allignment was also completely shot after a recent outting there as well.

Boz drove the car his way so I started following suit trying to use every last inch of concrete which trashed the allignment but it is all fixable.

yer same, i kerb hop every corner practically :woot:, basicly every corner that is part of the short circuit (from the S's to the straight) is where i am destroying my alignment... especially top of the hill over the apex and the last corner get the inside wheels over the kerb on the grass and pulls you through the corner... :D that screwed me over once though :) haha

    • From experience, it will come back to bite you haha.
    • Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
    • I said "Matlab clone". I could throw one onto one of my linux VMs. Probably only take 10 or 20 hours to sort out the dependencies, relearn how to use it, etc etc.
    • Hi all, got myself a 400R end of last year. Few tasteful mods done so far. Love the thing. Has anyone got any suggestions for sourcing bodykit parts for them over here???
