Sensational drive there Boz!!!

I own a turbo s2k as well and I fully understand how twitchy this high powered, short + narrow wheel base car it can be. After seeing how you steered I realised why I can't drive my s2k as fast as my bnr32.......I need LOTS of lap time with it. Very inspirational drive Boz. If you do come to QLD to teach, please drop me a PM. I will try my best to attend :ermm:

PS I am surpised that Elias has not put a roll cage in that car yet :D Do you know the weight of the car?

lol Elias has thought about it. Because it has never been a specific track car and was/is his daily driver/toy it would probably just make it a little too hard to carry his kids.

I would think it is a fair bit heavier than standard. I am pretty sure a standard car is 1200+kg. Maybe you would know the standard weight.

We shouldn't get carry away with Honda on a forum like this lol

I wont post some rolled s2k pictures to scare you but yes you are right honda claims that the car is something like 1250kg but I think that is a dry weight. Still too heavy for a little thing.

It looks like you had a lot of practice in this s2k. You seem to know exactly how the car behave.

Was there any 180 on the day?

I'm sure they weight a bit the same, a good set up 180 or s15 would still give that Honda a good run for its money.

LOL West, watch the video again :P My car could perhaps even go close to the S2000, only it wouldnt have had Bozman driving it :(

The car use to have a GT35 when it was running straight line stuff. It now runs a GT32 to give it some mid corner speed at the track.

I think a good set up 180 or S15 would give it a run.

Practise lol if you call 4 or 5 laps in the car around Oran, I suppose you can call that practise :P

Holy moly! nice lap mark. that is stupid fast. There is such a big gap from say say 1:20 down to the 1:12s you guys were doing in the 32. Especially considering it's still a road based car. Very impressive especially so when you consider mark has done less than 50 laps of Oran park by my count.

Geeez, the R32 is hauling ass. Well done Mark, great effort in being less than second behind the Lotus.

I must say I'm more impressed with the R35, the times Russ was punching out in standard trim with standard rubber is amazing.

Will the R34 be ready for the next one Russ??? Rumour has it its in 3 months time...

hey guys just thought i would let you know i have posted up a lap of mark running around

nice video!

what's even more impressive about the 35 times is the speed de-limiter stopped working half way through the day! I think Russ' best time was set with the limiter working. :(

Comparing that to the S2000 vid you can see that with more practice around OP Mark would definitely go faster. Or maybe just let John Boston drive next time... :(

Different cars, different tyres and need to be driven differently. So i dont think you can say Mark is giving away much behind the wheel jsut from looking at that vid

Nice vid Russ and it gets going out of corners well. I can't wait to see in car vid thea the Ignition DVD crew took with in car camera in the boat with Bozman driving, and sure to be handfull and taily compared to Marks drive.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
