Clifton's ZZE123

[dwee.]

You drove to the snow? Awesome! How did you go with the snow chains? :o Haha my snow gear has not seen this years snow season yet! :(

[clifton]

Yeah, driving was awesome and putting on chains on a lowered car isnt hard at all. By the last day it would take me less then 5min to put it on.

This snow season is sooooooooo good. 120cm of snow this week.

[V3N0M]

Damn good for a p plate ride!

[ImPulse]

This is an epic shot! Love the mood!

[clifton]

Decided to wrap my silver roofracks with a matte black vinyl to sorta tie in with the colour theme of my car. Its definitely harder then it looks!

Before

After

Also got myself some whiter Philips bulbs for my lowbeams, white foggies, parkers and plate lights on the way.

Haha yeah carwash party!

Thanks man, my car has definitely changed since that JDMST meet.Hhopefully going to get my TRD modlist similar to yours.

[clifton]

Met up with Charlie Trout and did the BKS shifter linkage mod, best bang for buck ever!

[clifton]

Car had its 130000km service today.

Had to replace a leaking water pump!

[clifton]

Time for another update. Went to the snow again and the car was perfect again!

Went for a cruise one morning before uni.

Then decided uni wasn't important and installing my new rear sway bar was!

Out comes the old sway. Gave the varex a clean with autosol while the car was on stands.

Old vs new

Installed

Car feels alot more planted through corners now, feels good.

Also installed

Phillips Bluevision for foggies

T10 LED Pakers and rear plate lights

And a video from the day!

[clifton]

[Kenshin X]

[ben yip]

The inner guard must have been abit loose/low and went under the front left wheel on turn 4/5.

The private day was really good, managed to get into 1:17 this time.. pretty happy with my result but aiming for 1:15! my driving is still letting me down.

Any pictures or video will be appreciated

Turn 4/5 is a high speed corner that is around 100km/h, not sure if your tyre hitting the inner guard..

You got improvement on your lap time, congratulations !! and 1:17 not bad for your set up

If you want faster, turn 3/4/5 are crucial, you have to swing from the right to the left on turn 3/4, and no braking in turn 5, 90% drivers do not do this...by doing this, you got half a second gain

I am assuming you got rear sway bar, otherwise 1 to 2 second slower...because you dun run coilover, so you cannot set the car to more oversteering

[ben yip]

I hope you strip out your car next time, and I gurantee that you can catch me..!

Your exhaust is melting your lip. The same goes for mine, I have lower my exahust a bit after I found out it is melting, I need to cut the lip a bit

That sp23 can be lethal to us depends on drivers..

When is your next wakefield? I am bit envy of you that you have have 20 cars only in the track and no traffic !!!

Mine is 2 weeks later and hope for some 1:15.9 after camber and ECU changes

far out ur lip! :( mine got some melted plastic on it too since last track day but i dunno if its from the lip or else where. i'm pretty sure my lip has quite a distance from the exhuast............................

[clifton]

Ben I'll be coming to the Circuit Club in December so I guess I'll see you there. Maybe you can take me for a lap so I can see your line haha.

The thing is the day I went to was hot, like 35 degrees so after 1-2 laps my tyres were gone because they're only re002. So hopefully next day will be cooler!

And for my lip, im pretty happy that the exhaust melted it haha. The gap is really even now and it wont melt any further, just gonna get the dremel out and tidy it up abit.

[clifton]

Hehe, gonna install it very soon! I also picked up a new inner guard from the wreckers.
