caribexr2 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 The Evo was scary quick out the hairpin and up the straight. Good vid
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted March 29, 2009 Author Posted March 29, 2009 It came on the back of a trailer - seemed to be driven by various people as I was able to tail them with ease under braking & on the corners Extremely fast nonetheless ! Who owns the white & silver Scoobies in the video ?
sti pretender Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 I'm the last white one in the video when you were behind the Bruces Taxi's Evo. Good vid, liked your dad's off roading.
ton246 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 It came on the back of a trailer - seemed to be driven by various people as I was able to tail them with ease under braking & on the cornersExtremely fast nonetheless ! Who owns the white & silver Scoobies in the video ? I own the silver classic,my first track event & loved every minute , it is apparent that i need more power as running standard bhp,though a better driver would probably lap quicker ,but well pleased with the old girl who never missed a beat,even on a quarter of a tank. Stone cracked the windscreen on the first session but at least its on the passanger side Tyres took a pounding but suppose thats to be expected,anybody know how much it was to hire a set of slicks ? Will defo do another one.
C_WRX Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Makes good watching Cal for those of us never been on the track ! Hope your old man had a better time of it after his wee spin. I did notice though that, despite you letting two cars past, none of that footage shows you being overtaken by anyone....you getting that good !? . Good to see the car did well on your first outing with it. That Evo tearing away was quite impressive must say !
RA Dunk Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 That Evo tearing away was quite impressive must say ! have found it its near 700BHP lol
iainc Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 have found it its near 700BHP lol Certainly looked MUCH more powerful the way it was up and over the hill from the hairpin in no time at all.
cullenmin Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 anybody know how much it was to hire a set of slicks ? Will defo do another one. £80, book in advance Rich
the squiggle Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Cracking video Cal, as always Bit of a moment for your old man considering its his first time out in the new toy Once you improve you suspension i reckon you can do the hairpin in third, i exit the hairpin in Imys car in third at 4000k so i reckon once sorted in the bouncy ocean liner dept then with some smooth steering and commitment you may be able to keep her on the boil about 3 and a bit. This is right at the start of the torque band in the car and should give you enough momentum to pull her up the hill cleanly in third. As you have noticed shoving her out of the hairpin in second is a bit of frantic time trying to catch third after you exit in second at high circa 5k revs Liking the term of Hunting for some sport
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 Cheers folks - currently considering coil-overs now given that this is my DKT ( Dedicated KH Toy)..............does anyone reckon they'll be too brutal on a B-Road though ? Any decent ones that you can recommend that are relatively inexpensive ? C_WRX - had about 60 mins of video but Yoiutube only permits 10 min clips. I was overtaken a few times by faster Evo's & some of th Exiges ( oh & DR MotorSport too ) w.r.t Hunting for Sport - I hate being out on track with nobody to play with ( safely !) - it's much more fun tightening up your game to try and pass folk. One thing that I need to bear in mind is how late I can brake. I was braking later & later at the hairpin and the brakes were still inspiring confidence - gain a lot of time that way. That's where I was making up a lot of ground on the Evo's. If only I had DCCD then I could engage in some hairpin showboating ! Cal
