Yellow GTRs are soft :P

I reckon its great to see them out there giving it some, Wakefield is a tricky track to get a quick time, it is certainly not all about power there...I take it the quick cars were running slicks?

just to clarify MR WRX has had over 100 runs at WSID and is driven everyday

the reason the gearbox failed was due to a dodgy billet rear input shaft

which wasnt made to the exact clearances that were needed

 

its a real 10 second street car and driving it along you would not pick

it its one of the most comfortable, smooth cars ive been in

and the way brian punishes it all day everyday i am shocked that it lasted this long

 

diablo is also very smooth and easily street driven he regularly drives it from canberra to sydney and has no problems with it

the reason it failed was because TRP made the mistake of using a copper head gasket when they were told not to

I happily stand corrected:D Bit of a bummer that they both failed, but using a copper headgasket on tough car does seem a bit odd. Look forward to seeing the results in AutoSalon Mag:D

to clear things up

the FTR ran 2 10.9 second passses on street tyres and low boost as it was running a standard geabox

it also ran the fastest lap tim of 1:08

it also did 540rwkW on pump fuel with a shot of NOS

its a VERY relaible car that had NO problems on the weeknbd

also OSMANS didnt win the braking- the blue S14 did without ABS and standard brakes with bendix pads....it beat the STi by 4metres

the GTR was also the only car to have full engineering certificates for the car. it did well i every category except fuel efficiency but what do you expect from the curent autosalon power recoird holder?

and before you ask yes i was there as i was competing

hence them both leaving and going to a different workshop

TRP is closing soon anyway

WTF?!?!?!?!?

also OSMANS didnt win the braking- the blue S14 did without ABS and standard brakes with bendix pads....it beat the STi by 4metres

Congratulations :(

Adrian

the GTR did run but i cant remember the time

MR WRX has done a 1:04 last time he was there not this time and yes it was the full track

LOL...i have to ask/:(

Who was their to witness/time this 1:04. Considering that quicker then any road car i know of and quicker then GTP WRXs with fully sorted suspension, professional driver, and good response/traction... i have to say someone is talking it up massively, a bit liek me when i say i can do 1:10s around Wakefield:)

As Duncan says, Wakefield is not a power circuit, and a 10sec WRX suggests the thing would be rolling between many of the corners looking for boost?!?!?!?! I have no problem believing it could maybe do a 1:08 or higher, but yeh...ill wait until i read the article...the more i think about it i think the timers may have been helping out a few of the cars with a second here and there:)

Do they run slicks?

to clear things up

 

 the FTR ran 2 10.9 second passses on street tyres and low boost as it was running a standard geabox

 

 it also ran the fastest lap tim of 1:08

 

 it also did 540rwkW on pump fuel with a shot of NOS

 

 its a VERY relaible car that had NO problems on the weeknbd

 

also OSMANS didnt win the braking- the blue S14 did without ABS and standard brakes with bendix pads....it beat the STi by 4metres

 

the GTR was also the only car to have full engineering certificates for the car. it did well i every category except fuel efficiency but what do you expect from the curent autosalon power recoird holder?

 

 and before you ask yes i was there as i was competing

charles told me osmans won it.

as for the GTR funny thing was they kept changing the car before every test

it was loud as all *** when it was on the track and you could smell the C16 but when it was in front of the engineer funny how it only hit 88db.

brians car has mountains of torque because its a 2.5 and isnt a laggy bitch either due to the turbo not being massive like his other car (NOCOMP)

its a every well sorted car and he is a great driver and knows the circuit very well.

the 1:04 was not at the SCOTY day which i said in my earlier post.

the only S15 there was jerrys one

there were to S14s though

please dont tell me it was MR dori dori in the blue one

because he locked up and ended up almost doing a 180 cause he tried the hand brake

the only cars that needed a warm up were the autostyle cars LMAO

street cars that need to warm up thier tyres and brakes before going out LOL

****ing pathetic

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
