Bought a new car today, not quite a Lambo, Bugatti or Tesla, but very happy with it. Drives like a kart. 2 Litre petrol from 2008. Thank you BTC!
Nice Congrats
Bought me a new candy also
GR Yaris? Nice, how is it? I've heard they're fucking rockets! Nearly bought one but just didn't; waiting on the 400Z
Si
Well, the GR Yaris HIGH PERFORMANCE reminds me of a car i always wanted to drive in my active racing days. To keep it short, it is the base for a rally car, not a track car, so keep that in mid before thinking about a purchase.
Secondly, on a twisty mountain road it is superior, thanks to the VERY good mechanics in the suspension, steering, weight distribution and drive train WITHOUT any electronically assisted systems, so the base is very healthy. Especially the brakes are -compared to other cars in the same niche- marvellous. Didn't have any outage though giving them hard times on mountain roads
Friend of mine has a braked 400hp EVO VII and after he couldn't catch up on our living room stage (some 16k's up to the italian boarder) he was smiling and angry at the same time (hence tight corners can be easily handbraked without the need to push the clutch)
Before you ask, yes i was on the dyno last friday and had 263,2hp@6515rpm with 392,8N-m@3966rpm. In my opinion the best range is between 3000 and 5500rpm, so you have best momentum
On 01.05 i will be on the race track to see how it does there, probably pissing off some Porsches
The two thing, that are annoying, is the seating position hence i am 190cm+, so that is a bit a pain in the ass, but i already have an appointment with my upholsterer to lower the seating staying legal. The second thing is the pedal position, to wide appart, so to double-clutch i have to do that with the heels and not with the rist or toes
I wouldn't call it a rocket with the power it has, in my opinion the gear ratio is to long, so could be a bit more shorter -although i reached 206km/h GPS on a bumpy and cornered mountain road- to have a better acceleration out of corners, but overall on the motorway i already earned some thumbs up with this "little" hot hatch
Overall, very good car in the base, for a sporty drive enough power, momentum and very good mechanics. If you want to go racing, you have to do a lot for making the driving accurate (seating position, pedals, steering and shifting) but for the money you need to spend, it is a bargain offer
What are you going to do with your 400Z
Yeah it definitely seems a fun car, especially if you keep it on the boil in the twisties. As for what I'll do to the 400Z, probably not a lot. Just light mods, nothing crazy as the wife will drive it too and it will likely be our daily driver. I've already got a stupidly modified GTR for going fast around a race track. That's not to say that the 400Z won't see a few laps in its time either haha
Nice
Well i argumented the Yaris with the ISO-FIX for the baby seat, so she is afraid of driving the Yaris, but she likes it, so my house hold is lucky
GTR, nice
Which model do you have I suppose you have modified it quite heavily if you are on the track with it --> pics and specs It's an R33 GTR, I'd post pics but I have none on this PC. As for mods, easier to list what I haven't done but basically head work, cams, turbos, injectors, ECU, upgraded gearset in gearbox, clutch, brakes, running E85 fuel, the list goes on. Makes about 400awkw and goes like a shower of shit haha
Nice, nice
Sounds like a propper track tool
