:twisted: , one shot from dex3

Looks like a crapau running from a pitbull

Seriously tho, Imagine that the Chevette was once the rallying equivalent of the Subaru, look how far we've come.

[dream-carz]

i find the flares are quite similar between both cars, strange

not really, once you can accept that not all current designs are new.
some are copied, some are improved upon.

ROFL @ crapaud breaksing from a pitbull

dream-carz, the body kit was designed in 1979 by GM designer Wayne Cherry, when they were looking to widen the track of the Chevette HS, which already had the traditional excort-style bubble flares. Cherry decided something more distinctive was in order, and penned this flare kit, which was then wind tunnel tested.
At the time, he claimed the design would last 20 years, but clearly 30 years on, it's still being emulated!

yep the three car ting was a lot of fun....i'm still amazed at what ryan peyrau did in my own car, it was almost unreal the speed he was entering some of those corners.....the 600bhp beast couldn't ketch up lol

[MadCrix]

more like the 600whp beast had no boost lol

[dream-carz]

actually i was not really being competitive, just testing the car (dccd, suspension, etc) to see what needs to sort out. During the second fun run boost died.

[Reyos]

^^ you bringing it back on the 25th of June at the BYCC to more checks and testing?

[Rudman]

Yes please bring it back. I want to see more Project Mu in action!.....

[VIP2Nr]

[MadCrix]

[MadCrix]

Dread... I was all over the place on my last lap... I could not believe that I actually made a faster lap than my 3rd lap

If I was clean (and knew where I was going) on that last lap I have no doubt that I would hit 49 secs easy

I've said it before but - I've got a hell of a car now... Rudi, Reyos and Ruel (aye that's 3 "R"s) all went for a ride in my car and they will tell you that the problem is most definitely NOT the car

I'm still getting over the fact that I can push the car that hard and it refuses to let go... so different from a few months ago when it would spin out for no apparent reason... call it "nexenphobia"

It really did make me smile... especially for the fun runs when I just keep pushing and it just kept giving

[chris1388]

^^ I shuda line up a fun run behind ur .... we'll see next dex...you have better tires now

[VK-Sportsman]

Just a few more pics

[Rudman]

Ingalook, the car is definately wucking! SS is in for ah hell of ah time!
Next time however, put some more gas in de car please! Hearing Ruel screeching tyres in your backside as you came to near stall was more excitement than anyone could handle.

you jus lucky I was ketchin mihass to navigate the course

[djaggs]

Tires really make the difference in Solodex. I really have to get a good set of tires for DEX.
I was also navigationally challenged, thus the two DNFs.

[MG Man]

3 dnfS
I ran 360 tw tyres and I have no complaints............if I had the mental capacity of my fellow competitors, I am sure I would knock off two seconds minimum simply by paying attention to lines, apexes and braking, rather than holding back while trying to figure out where I was going wrong
PS Thanks to Pete for giving me the point of reference I needed to make my last run count!

[d spike]

I was ketchin mih ass to navigate the course

DNF, eh?
I didn’t have any problems with navigating the course – loved it, actually.
It was a breeze... mainly because it was exactly like the drive down from my latest ex’s house... yeah... Hey! Who it was that “designed” this course again???

[GEAR_HEAD]

Course was fun, especially the 'fun runs' after. Looking forward to the upcoming BYCC. Running 3 laps or more in one go really gives you an opportunity to improve your lines & learn your car's handling traits.
Hopefully future events will be structured this way.
