NIiiiiiiiiiiiice

cheers.

Exqusite taste.

I saw your post in Newcelica.org also.

Did you find the steering in this car is very slow? I really don't find the steering to be responsive when I drove my ex gf's IS200.

cheers...there is a lag in the first few degress of movement....but found the car very responsive on the twisties. Very predictable. Even George Mediecke (V8 brutes, etc) and John Boston found it very responsive and agile but also mention that the engine is a big disappointment.

Beautiful car man.

One of my favs.

thanks :yahoo:

What donk this got??

BEAMS 3S-GE??

I wish..hence the title.

What spring rate are the coils?

they are 12/200 fronts and 8/200 rears. kilo/rate i think.

Also, I had the camber at neg 3 all around

see prior track setting before we put it back normal daily drive setting

nice drive on the track, seems like youve done it quite often :lol:

and so is mowing their lawn :rolleyes:

I went from 1:22 to 1:18.8 in 4 track days. But IMHO, the last two track days is the most improvement personally as the car was kept at the same spec with no modification. An improvement of 1 second from 19.7 to 18.8 which I'm pretty proud to achieve. Also bear in mind that the car is just over 1.5tonnes and 86rwkw.

my latest adventure....with some very wealthy companions

Got invited to a Burrows Drive Day at Eastern Creek. My first ever drive there.

No timing allowed but using incar video footage and Ulead DVD MovieFactory timing, I've calculated that my fastest time is around 2m19s on Federal 595.
