[Razkal]

managed a 2:47:*** last night....didn't have time to do more than one, just the uphill portion again...

[MG Man]

I drive a MINI
uphill is mostly pointless

[Alpha_2nr]

^^isn't it a cooper?

Then uphill shouldn't be that pointless! Even the N/A cooper is pretty zippy (for it's given p/w ratio).

[honda hoe]

that was EPIC
he drove the 86 like a Porsche round the bends to hang the wheel over the drain

and miata driver just see space, not technique, and DC5'd.

wtf

[speedist]

wayyyy, i start readin dis tread an i get hook on de initial D, yes. Anybody have a link to a torrent with all the episodes, all seasons? i likin how they explaining technique, physics, etc. Must... see... all.

[MG Man]

rofl
it was my sis' car
she bought it for a daily commute from Princes Town to Pt Lisas...........she did not want a manual car for that drive............pity cuz she got a company car a couple years later, and now we would really have enjoyed a manual
I've thought about doing a conversion at some point, but not any time soon, in as much as it's my daily commuter now..........plus the other two cars are manual

[Alpha_2nr]

....JDM?

[obeiron]

3:50 Uphill...midday traffic. Average speed was around 50

Uphill at night should be interesting. Downhill I'm not too sure about as you have limited space to slow down after the Hilton entrance (just a few metres before the corners). Brakes better be good!

hellafun

[Alpha_2nr]

^^Aye. Some ricer might go and try the same thing like allyuh (insert crims dong almera here) and end up nose first in the dirt below.


Jus' saying.

what was your time bro?

[MG Man]

didn't time it because there were other cars on the road............passed two b4 the first hairpin, but got stuck until the s=bend before the lookout
That s-bend is one of my favorite passing spots, especially in the MINI
You can see if it's clear, and dive down the inside and the car just sticks "-)

Car: Subaru Legacy Spec B
Engine: 2.0 Turbo
Drivetrain: 4WD/Tiptronic
Tyres: Goodyear Eagles F1's (215/45/R17. 70%life)
Ambient Temperature: 27 degrees
Time 1:00AM

Running start from hilton to the lookout: 2:00:30.
Dead Start from Lookout to Hilton: 1:56:45.
Timing: Blackberry stopclock.

The uphill run from Hilton sucks if you dotn have a torquey engine to take you up the hill....the first S turns wer good....car suprised me with very little understeer..in fact ihad to correct for it cuz I went into the corner at angle that wud have clipped the apex if it understeered. Instead i had to correct. The quickest part of that run is jsut after the Rasta stall to the former Quarry....the Goodyears held pretty good...but i think with better tyres i cud've clipped another second off that run.

The return run was quicker (even though it was from a dead start) and after the fourth turn (right hander) i accelerated and was doing 140kph heading into the two S bends, (its more aof a sweep going downhill as you can put the car on its limit ) braking hard (fronts locked up) to enter the first S without going wide. It's night so you can gauge oncoming traffic. once you exit the second S and keep a good line you can get back up to nearly 130kph b4 Hilton..but then yu have to brake hard again to enter the bottom corner.

Synopsis? It's a GREAT run. The Legacy is set up for that type of run as a stock car! IT really surprised me. Even with the VR4 that had the TEINS and gobs more power, i wud be fighting understeer going into the corners, and the lines wudnt have been smooth...the Legacy held its line....(upon investiquring relized i have Bilsteins....hehe Spec B YO!) and with stickier tyres i think you can shave more time and even get a 1:50 on the downhill (lookout to HIlton Run).

Going to do some research and tweak it some. IF i get more torque out of th engine it gives more in the power band to play with....my main gears were 3rd and 4th (5 speed auto..) and to me for a run liek that it should be 2nd and 3rd.

Bit good run. Those times suprised me.
