Yep. The road itself is smooth, but its on the side of a hill so there's a lot of gradient change.

There'll be no timing on the day (the MDTC guys don't permit it, anyway) and the instructor:driver ratio will be higher. It's about learning, not going flat out.

Details on the Touge Battle are finally released.

Basically, we have been planning this for the last couple of months - and are very excited!

Since this is the very first time we are staging a Touge Battle, we decided that we should choose two cars of a very high standard, but with very different characteristics.

You couldn't ask for more differences than these two!

Saturday will be a practice day for the cars. Help them get used to the new track and set up their cars accordingly.

On Sunday afternoon, we will run a "best of 3" Touge Battle, with rules run identical to those in Best Motoring. Extend your lead and you win. Can't get away and you loose.

A single battle will be run over one lap of the MDTC, starting from the middle of the straight and ending at the same point.

For us, the biggest question is this - can Jacky Yick's Civic have a high enough cornering speed to beat the EVO? or Will the Tilton Interiors EVO just dominate proceedings with what is rumoured to be an 800hp engine?

Time will tell!

P.S. The Battle won't interrupt normal proceedings of our Training Day event.

So its not actually us driving our cars on the Touge thing, its all spectating.....?

Bobby: Maybe now that wakefield is out

Cool, let me know mate.

My understanding is that we'll be driving the track all day, as per the "driver training" but the actual "battle" they're referring to is only for show.

Bobby's right.

The "Touge Battle" will be the two "feature" cars only.

However, the weekend is about letting people go practice their skills, with driver trainers available if wanted, on the circuit. If you go and pay the $120, you'll drive. Just not for any measured ranking, whether it be position or time.

      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

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      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.
