I dunno, seems to me only the Cyber Evo and Scion have any real power to weight advantage over the HPE... And that's only the one aspect of performance. The Lotus platform has many other advantages - scale-model-like frontal area, low low low Cg, low polar moment of inertia, factory developed aero, etc Then factor in years of development on our tracks in our conditions with a very fast driver at the wheel who's very familiar with EC and the car. They won't be easy to beat IMO - if they are on the right tyres... there's no doubt they left a second or two behind due to tyre choice last time.

I havent seen yet pics of the Scion coming over :P My excel will be a lot faster than most cars eheh.

I also think the lotus deserves respect and will be hard to beat.

I really hope the Aussies are super fast!! And of course I hope mark gets a good run and wins! :P.

Tall order I know but no taller than trying to do it in Tsukuba

Farking rain at EC...i had never drivne there without a 180km/h speed limiter or with more then 140rwkws. SO when i had the TD06 and some semis i wrangled a trip to Sydney to go to EC...i planned this for about 6 months, and it rained and i binned it :P It rained so heavy but i refused to park it because i just take it easy in the rain and have fun. But it rained so heavy that water was running across the track leading up to turn 9, (after the quick left hander at Corporate Hill) Hit the water and the car just aquaplaned off the track.... so i make this point because back in 2006 EC did not handle rain or drain very well .... so pray for all the guys entered that it is dry. Otherwise a 1.5L Charade with MRT Swaybar upgrade will be quicker then you.... LOL and their is no shame in that :laugh:

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
