This car is mint, and is far more interesting than any stock BMW, and likely a much better car too, not to mention far more rare/street creddy if that is your thing. 3 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/468064-doses-sometimes-diy-and-pay-someone-home-boat-improvement-thread/page/150/#findComment-7977527 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dose Pipe Sutututu Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 Last night you would see the M cars & Euro cars push into turns later, brake later, etc. They were having fun, albeit there were sheets of water on the track. Meanwhile all the 90s JDM shit boxes without any stability/traction control etc. were literally cruising around the track. Luckily enough I have working ABS so could brake a bit later than others.

I would take it to the track, think about the amount of money I've spent on my shit box - it's comparable. Also I would rather push it on the track instead of on the streets or twisty roads, etc. 3 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/468064-doses-sometimes-diy-and-pay-someone-home-boat-improvement-thread/page/150/#findComment-7977535 Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo_rb180 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I think more seat time you will be close to euro guys. After talking with some of the QLD time attack guys that went down a few weeks ago it sounds like it's racing for sheep stations down there. The euro cars definitely have the upper hand straight up. 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/468064-doses-sometimes-diy-and-pay-someone-home-boat-improvement-thread/page/150/#findComment-7977543 Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Wakefield, on a dry day I was only a few seconds behind them, but once the track conditions are not optimum you can really see the gap widen! These guys are abusing the stability control, traction, ABS like crazy (I would too).

No Crust Racing Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 It's not just safety tech. Modern chassis are superior all round, what you get in a "road" car these days is akin to what was a race car previously in terms of chassis stiffness, anti-squat geo, king pin inclination bump steer correction etc etc Suspension kinematics are vastly improved all round, ignoring specific alignment settings like cabmer/castor. An equally tired 86, even with a bit less power is faster than an S-chassis around a 1min per lap track with both drivers being of roughly equal skill. the 86 chassis is head and shoulders better in every way. It was only when we went to Winton that had a few straights I could use the power of the CA to pick up some cheap lap time. On anything tight/twisty, the 86s kill S-Chassis and MX5. Just one comparison. 3 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/468064-doses-sometimes-diy-and-pay-someone-home-boat-improvement-thread/page/150/#findComment-7977555 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The casual M2 guys at Wakefield before literally just threw on semis, better pads, a tune off their phone, 1/3 of an exhaust system and they're doing 1m5~8s.

No Crust Racing Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Better low/mid-range power for a given capacity/engine config vs the 90s and the ability to put it down and carry it through corners from the factory floor is hard to beat. 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/468064-doses-sometimes-diy-and-pay-someone-home-boat-improvement-thread/page/150/#findComment-7977557 Share on other sites More sharing options...
