Hey Leewah, I just noticed the avatar. Careful We'll start a trend. Damage caught on video will be the new rice.....

That avatar was made by a friend of mine who didn't have much else to do that day. He made it as a joke but I decided that coz I haven't run a 9 yet, this would be the next best thing to be animated....

Echos are awesome fun, driving down Lygon street I almost got a look from some girls in a 4wd:( I thought for a minute even I could get laid in a car like an Echo, but sadly that didn’t even do it for me:( … so I just thrashed it around Winton instead:thumbsup:

hahah Roy drives an Echo too :rofl:

so what do you *really* drive Vitz? ;)

Seriously, I own a ECHO but my other half drives it.

To tell you the truth, I drive a Honda Jazz. :thankyou:

It's not a Skyline but at least it is 1.5 ltr. VTEC POWER (if I get long enough straight to activate the bloody V-TEC). Doesn't do 0-100 km/h under 5 seconds but does 500 km under 40ltr.

Anyone else! NO? :jump: I thought so.

Cheers,

VITZ :devfu:

After driving the S2000 I helped a friend buy I was impressed by the redline and the power icrease of the vtec but you have to drive it like you stole it to make it all happen.

On the boil though it is a nice handling car. PI is a great place for them with plenty of flowing corners but Sandown would kill them with the 2 slow corners into long straights. I think winton would be a favoured place for the S2000.

40lt to 500km? I think my lynx would do that. The Lexobarge is good for almost 800km per tank (80lt @ 10km/lt)

That is the Purple GTR with 'Melbourne Performance Centre' sticker on the side.

There are a few of errors on the times, that 1.17 being one of them.

They have Ben's best time as a 1.17, but his second lap shows 1.16...?

The Porka RS shows a best time of 1.22 for one lap only, but for the rest of the day he was no where near that 1.22...?

They also had Snowy at around 1.26s towards the end of the day, when in fact he was struggling to break the 1.30 mark. :D

    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
    • I was just going to say that it's good to see you picking up the pace again. Hope the surgery goes well. More downtime just means more time to come up with new ways of digging a deeper rabbithole  
    • How do they compare in size? I have the Yaris coil packs in mine and they work fine. But they are either bigger or sit differently so the engine cover doesn't fit anymore. Not the end of the world but not great either. Do the R35 ones sit flush?
