LMFAO.... I just laughed until wee came out.

We met Eric from Cosworth and Team Sierra Sierra at the bar on Thursday evening and were explaining to him the virtues of a certain "tool". He's obviously taken aboard our fondness of it and has suggested there might be some kind of sponsorship brewing for Berry's team!?!?!

Take a read of the link, the sponsor is alluded to on page three I think it is..... within the blurb on Mark's R34. :D

it's GOLD!

lol, I'm flattered I got a mention but how come I got pinned for the tenga egg!! marlin is the bloody expert, i'm just a part time admirer and supplier of their 'equipment'. still I did give eric a 'sample' which he promised to pass on to richard raeder (SSE owner). I hope Eric didn't try it first? marlin tells me they are no good second hand... :ermm:

reckon!

Would be even beter if the promo girls were walking around with giveaways and doing the odd demo for the boys :D

ok, now you've got me thinking. BRB, got to call tenga and sow this deal up...

lol good son of rajab. quite an interesting device indeed

Wonder if the crew member will clarify the incorrect turbo info? :P

Finally got video's done with data logging overlay.

Unfortunately in the 1.39.6 the video camera died on the way out of the pits.... Isn't it always the way...

Here is a 1.40.2

Here is me chasing Andrew (JET200) on his very first session in his car. Look at the way he drives away from me down the straight. Pretty crazy what 100rwkw (I had 265rwkw) more looks like down the straight! I want more powwwahh :)

if it's still in the spec it was at for WTAC 2010 then it's a bloody good buy for $45K. there's some great cars around at the moment for sale for cheap.

At 2.00 mark i do a 1.38.1 lap time...

I finished 8th in Open Class with a lap time of 1.37.9840. That was my 2nd time ever at EC still lots to learn.... Any comments and tips will be greatly appreciated.. Cheers

Well I reckon you gave that a pretty decent crack mate! :)

I'm far from an EC expert, but I reckon Turn 2 was kind of sucking you into a slightly early turn in, would you agree?

I've driven a few Evos, and they all benefit from left foot braking techniques (loading part throttle boost against brake pressure) mid to exit of the corner...... maybe try mastering that.

Helluva car you have there :) Good work!

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/  
    • That would be my Shoei helmet
    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
