bugger me

love what it did to the ring gear.....

i'm gonna have a talk to dean at work tomorrow, but what is the difference between say a s2000 that revs to 9.5k and might run a high 12, compared to say barry's car that goes to 8k and does a 10

One is a factory built, manufacturer warrantied vehicle, the other is a hybrid home (albeit in a workshop) built job.

has anyone heard of a fwd flywheel going through the casing and possibly the firewall

Yeah, heard of it happening on a mini before

[JRS]

should only apply to cars with the gearbox on the drivers side.....

[CAMB01]

Maybe i just run flat 12's from now on

Surly it wouldn’t cost too much to have one made up??

[CAMB01]

Where would you go to get one made up?

I cant simply cant afford it, but i love racing

[Si]

Well if it applys to all evos then you will probably soon see blankets become pretty common, just as they are for teh lawnmowers

[slonlo]

Rotaries are really bad for it because apparently they only have 1 bolt flywheels....

funny all the one ive seen have had six
would be a big problem if you only used one

This sort of comment is one I always find funny... you can't afford $400 to cover it, yet you would have had to spend how much to get into the catagory where it is required?

[MR2SIK]

Surely it doesnt apply to every Evo like some of you are saying?
Its just that its piss easy to get an evo into the 11's compared to other cars? Theres more 'east/west' engined mitsubishis running the quicker times then any other make which is why they mentioned them

Sorry that was a bit vague, was meaning the earlier ones like this:




Personally would want at least a blanket for that one (Or a different engine)...

in the case of early evo's, you really only need the ticket price of an evo, an exhaust, filter, and some malicious driving. a few people have run under 12 sec like that.

also situations change , in my case buying a house has left me with an expensive car and not the funds to compete in it

[CAMB01]

My car has filter and exhaust mods, boost controller, and i dipped into the 11's. I run consistent flat 12's all day.

and this is why evo drivers think there cars are the quickest thing out... cos alot of the time, they are.

[Zitchu]

x2 lol.

[barryogen]

my point almost remains...

$400 for a cover is hardly expensive when compared to the evo ticket price plus exhaust and filter, let alone adding boost controller, hell, it's less than two decent tires.

Cough cough.. Bullshit... Cough cough. Mate, your car has more than those mods to get into the 11's, I had an EVO 2 RS with an exhaust system, intake and boost controller when I was a kid and the fastest it ran was a 12.6 at the maximum boost the factory turbo could provide.

[Mr Revhead]

yeah but did you launch it at 6500?
coz he did
