e-series having fun - Page 2

Bodyroll FTW!

I had a really good time out on the pan... I learnt a lot about how hopelessly crap the LWB's are at handling... :P

The car was off for most of the day, didn't seem to have the pulling power it normally does... I put this down to stock 5.0's being lame :P

Ignore the ugly bugger behind the wheel :P

Next time out, it'll be lowered, on 17's and with any luck, a lot more power to drift it around...

I've got some internal and external video clips... i'll have to sort out youtube soon, so I can get them up...

Big thanks to Pecker73 for sending me the pics

I'd prefer completely covered in water anyday ..

If I have a typhoon however ...

I thought you guys knew me!! "or don't mind caning the crap outta your N/A I6," C'mon yags, do you think my car ever missed the opportunity for a damn good thrashing???

Pfft - E series are fken tough man - a day at the track is a walk in the park for a well maintained E-series!

skRollin, you forgot to mention a certain 3.08 open diff was also used in the making of that video...

it gives me goosebumps everytime i watch it, even though it was nearly 3 years ago

Allen · 19-03-2007, 11:25 PM

Here is a link to an internal vid of the Lane on the pan... This was an open session, no set course, so I was just throwing it around...

For some reason the sound no longer works on it...

LOL at the bodyroll! That certainly brings back some memories of my car at Glenmaggie! If you want handling, SLS certainly isn't the way to go!

alleyezonme · 21-03-2007, 12:49 PM

this was such an awesome day, had so much fun. cant wait for the next deca day, hopefully sooner than later.

the highlight of my day was going on the track in the car with john, now that was fun, i didnt want the day to end i just wanted to keep going out there.

bring on the next deca day, pwwweeeeeezzzzzzz

Christiaan · 21-03-2007, 02:56 PM

Rollin, is that gravel in that vid??? i'd whip your **** on water or gravel ;)

Kenaz - yeh, there was too much grip. I was using grid ii's cos i thought the pan would be wet the whole day, but in the morning it was dry, and the grip was amazing, even on the concrete.. Most people that were getting sideways will need a new clutch, diff, or at least 2 new tyres :P As i said, if i wanted to get it messy in the dry with those tyres, i'd need a turbo, or i'd need to not care about blowing something up 350km's from home..

Next time the 195 kanyang stockies will make an appearance..

speedway, meaning gravel? not a road type surface?

what cars was he up against?

Allen · 21-03-2007, 03:56 PM

Speedway is a compacted moist clay rich dirt, not gravel...

20 seconds is damn quick on a speedway track!

FordGirl · 21-03-2007, 04:31 PM

bwahaha @ the video of johns car - that sounds hilarious!

Looks like an absoluteloy awesome day, I'll have to come check it out sometime.

I'm amazed they're allowed to waste so much water!

mcflux · 21-03-2007, 04:59 PM

Krys: I'm sure the WetSpot could've catered for covering the track with something :P

Funniest part of this day was yags telling us all that all the people going around the set track were going the wrong way as it turns out yags was the only goose who went the wrong way lmao.
