Lambchop With A Renault Axis Here...


Recommended Posts

here's what your been waiting for some pic's...............

relocated the horns to the otherside to make room for my powersteering cooler.

and managed to fit a new tranny cooler with fan infront of the passengers side wheel.

it was a C*** of a job but took it for a test drive and no leaks, so now just gotta button up some bits and pieces and wire up the fan :)

Is that video on slow mo? Either that or you're being very cautious?

It's wet nummers....his in a 2t wagon with sort of shit tyres on a track that has not been rained on in weeks. There's a reason your kind always crash isn't there!

see me entering into turn 1 for the very first time (between the small straight and into the long straight over the hill)........ wet track pretty much no throttle just enough to keep the speed at 80km/h and see how much the car got sideways, it was slippery. even in the dry i could only take that corner at about 100km/h and the car still got squiggly.

like Criag said of course im going to be cautious first time on the track, first time on the course in my only car be it i dont use it dayly but still.

wait till i get the other vids up, this wasnt timed, but the next session that was and i got a 1:20 lap and then once it was fully dry i got a 1:15 and later in the day before it got to hot i got a 1:14 so i'm quite happy with it, it's no track car by anymeans but it was a load of FUN.

if i wanted a circuit car i'd go buy a S8 RX7 and build that up.........................

    • With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)
    • Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar. 
    • This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
    • Yeah I would like to try and get a ADM car to reduce issues with insurance. I've decided if I end up getting this car I will set it up to be a sleeper build, leave it looking stock/dad spec on the outside I wonder if you can just drop in the 400r/Red/Z ECU or better still use a flashing tool to copy the map off one. Backup the factory map and then flash the 400hp cars onto the 300hp cars ECU?
    • Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.
