Re: [FINALIZED] TRD LSD

I would say most factory Viscous ones will be acting like open diffs by now. I know mine was completely open when I replaced it this year.

Re: mr2 turbo takes out gtr r35

JD I hopefully should be doing a few sessions on track in a high horsepower (600+) R32 GTR next year. Should be a laugh ;-) Regarding R35's I doubt my car in its current format could beat a R35 on anytrack with an expert driver. Though I actually think a stripped, well setup Mr2 with 400-500 bhp cou...

Re: mr2 turbo takes out gtr r35

Got to say the Stage 4 GTR is the fastest accelerating car I've ever seen on track.

Got to ask C35Rob, what would you want to see in this thread?

Re: mr2 turbo takes out gtr r35

Glad you guys like the video. The GTR is the faster car ultimately (has twice the power for a start!). The driver was ok, what I'd consider a normal trackday standard. I have yet to meet a GTR on track which was really on it or faster then the mr2. As mentioned tyres do make a difference to laptimes...

Re: Lift-Off over steer question

Only way to learn is to go to a safe environment and practise. Takes a bit of time but it's perfectly possible to drive an MR2 sideways all the way around a track ;-)

Oulton Park - Island - Mr2 Turbo vs R400

Oulton Park - Island - Winter Trackday

Last event of the year for me. Slightly slippy track but loads of fun.

Little play with a friend of mine.

Watch 5:10 onwards for my mistake ;)

Re: Mr2 Turbo on the limit in the wet. TSS 2015 Cadwell park video

Thanks. Was a little slippy out there ;-) Running on R888 all day. 205/45/15 225/50/15 Had a major problem with Aquaplaning in the morning and the car would spin up it's wheels after 80mph down the normal start/finish straight. It was probably 50/50 on weather a road tyre would be better by the fina...

Re: Trackday Videos from Hullavington - Includes GTR and Atom comparisons

Thanks guys. Was a fun day. The GTR was the quickest thing I've ever seen in a straight line on track (would of left the atom's for dead) and tbh wasn't slow in the corners. I've got a few videos from Abingdon the week after this which I'll have to post up. Below is a video from my mates R400. We we...

Re: Turbo mpg on track?

I do used to do 5-8 mpg, I can remember having to fill up every 4 laps of the ring before I had it remapped.

Day to Day 30mpg is doable.

Re: Apexi GT Exhausts - Are they too loud for the track?? Any help welcome!

After running a loud exhaust on my car for a few years, I'm convinced if you want to do a few trackdays just get a quiet exhaust, the odd 10-20bhp doesn't mean that much on the track and it's far better not having to worry about not passing. Not saying Loud exhausts ain't a laugh on the street thoug...

Re: MR2 Turbo VS Honda Integra Type R???

The handling and grip is a completely different ballpark to the MR2. I've always wondered if the reputation of mk2 not being chuckable are down to the tubby engines power delivery, lsd's and suspension/wheel setups. I notice most people who comment on the mk2's lack being chuckable are tubby owners...
