The guy in the black RX8 filmed this on Friday evening, check out from about 3.41....

I was braking waaaaaaaaaaaay too early in the corners but I got away from him out of the turn onto the front straight

Glad that you found the video Shane

good vid shane

man it pulled hard down the straight

 

[ENGINR]

Hey Taka!! How are you mate?

Welcome to Team4G!

Thanks heaps for posting that section of the video up mate, I've been watching your other driving clips and you do a damn good job of putting them together.

Fark you can drive too man!!

 

[WRCVR4]

And my VR4 is now broken

What happened Troy?

 

[WRCVR4]

Motor no more workies, anyone got one for sale ?

 

[ENGINR]

Ah shit mate! How bad is the damage?

Apart from WRCVR4 not being able to finish - was a great night! I gave a Porsche GT3 a couple of scares down the front straight!! He thought he was going to have an easy time overtaking me out of the last turn and I held with him for about 1/2 the length of the front straight before he outran me! Second time around I held with him again but actually backed off to let him into Turn1 before me.

I NEED MORE POWER!!!!

Jon and i have just pulled it apart.
Head gasket was actually ok, but the valves are not sealing, looks like i melted the seats :s
It over heated, and blew the top radiator hose off, including part of the radiator with it :|

 

[ENGINR]

Shiiiiiiiiiiiit

 

[peasoup]

[bazeng]

Thanks dude.

I do the driving first, video the 2nd; but I really like to watch them with all my data log and analysis it to nth degree. I even put my science coat on when I do that j/k

I do have better brake, not just my right foot.

I am going to test drive for my 3rd car and this RX-8 will be turbo and caged. My next car will include EVO X MR so hopefully I will here for a good reason.

Others being: 135i and TTS though. I think the Mitsu have some to convince me to have it for a daily drive . I do plan to put my daily around Sandown, Winton and PI to set a time in stock settings though.

Great clip mate,
What software are you using to log? what ecu is that?

 

[takahashi]

Software is RaceChrono. Free if you have a Nokia mobile phone.
more details www.raceChrono.com

ECU you mean the car... just a map from Japan. Knightsports came to Australia to tune a few car. Only 6kW gain hehe.

 

[fq4oo]

i will be heading to one of these in the coming weeks.... just having some fine tuning done on the new setup after its run in at the EvoNats.

You guys missed a good night! A great turnout of various makes and models, even had the 1984 Bathurst winning Jaguar there.
