bvm8w 1 Report post Posted July 13, 2010 My first try at a bit of real racing(sort of), 2 cars line up side by side, flag drops, tyre squeel and away you go. A great experience had by all, mine being the only car to drive to the track and drive home again, everything else came on a trailer with roll cages, race tyres, numbers etc. It was a bit daunting! we were split into 3 groups Open roof bigger horsepower fast cars (my group), incl. corolla dx 320rwhp (pictured) smaller cars like starlets etc We had 2 races of 3 x laps each on 4 different tracks, plenty of variety and a great learning curve for braking and cornering. At the end of the day we had a result for each group and overall, I came out 1st in class and 5th overall, absolutely stoked, and with a personal best time of 1.42 for the main GP cicuit. A couple of photos of my car in action. Jas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bvm8w 1 Report post Posted July 15, 2010 Just scored a set of slicks for the next time out, good condition, ex hamilton 400! my other tyres I was running on were 888's (Ex Atta, cheers man, many hours of awesome fun!) on there last legs with a bit of oversteer, so should have some improved lap times, as long as its not too cold!

bvm8w 1 Report post Posted July 16, 2010 Hot damn that's nice! What was the dyno result? Last time I read about this car I don't remember the blower Its a new addition, only been on 4 a couple of weeks, I couldnt drive it over 100km/h for the first week cause my bonnet wouldnt close, now had ove 200 down the front staight at ruapuna! I wouldnt be without it, its got soo much torque, on wet/damp days its hard not to drive it sideways constantly, a heap of fun.Dyno tune at 320rwhp, a change of pully will increase it easily but dont want to risk any engine damage as it is my daily driver.
