5th gear@6200rpm

Am I correct??? :blink::blink::huh::rolleyes::rolleyes: B)

Zee - I think I was pushing 180 into the kink, even managed to push through the kink on a couple of occasions where I had a free run and the tyres weren't too squishy..

ahh but is yours an auto?

we both have manual levin's

wow, 225km/h. I remember correctly its 200km/h at 6200rpm, i didn't take it till the rev cut though. Could it be due to my undersize tyres :P

Manual in fifth gear

and yes still had more from 225 - I don't mean it was still accelerating like it was in first - I just mean it hadn't hit rev limiter yet (6200 in an ascent).

next time I do it I'll get someone to take a photo for you all.

i just checked the peak recall on my RSM and I managed 178km/hr down that same track. I managed to stay on the track tho......... :ph34r:

:o Glad all is ok.

The Mazda Forum mentions another Corolla spinning out earlier due to bolt falling off the bilstein suspension?

Also, I can't seem to open the video clip.

That wasn't a rolla mate, it was a car a fair bit more expensive but at the owners request there should not be discussions around this vehicle :).

Top Speed...

pffft.... who gives a @#$@!!!

if you want to try out top speed then why not get a car that actually has some proper speed?!

i drive a levin, and couldn't car less on what i can clock on topspeed.

measuring it is like measuring the size of your... (well heaps of things) but the bottom line is... WHO CARES?!

how about we talk about more interesting things like how lines should be taken at what speed and gear as well as the difference a LSD might make to the entry and exit speed.

That's fair enough ;)

Not really interested in the car itself, I'm more interested in the Bilstein component fault that actually caused the incident.

I'm not so sure about the "component failure" reason... The skidmarks on the track indicated it could have been driver error. I've got no doubt the impact the car had would have broken the suspension though...

You sure it was 180km/h Dylan :blink: ? I never really looked at my speedo to be honest but just estimating in 4th gear if you drive through the kink with accelerator still to the floor i am guessing 4th gear 7500-8000rpm? What speed would that be? But i never had that much confidence in my tyres and brakes to start with so my accelerator was always eased off when approaching the kink :P

But with the stock suspension didn't you get real taily!!

that video's gone down...

haha, looks like MAP's heard enough of it and wants to bury it :P:P

na, im sure its the server... right?

Posted (edited)

I took the video's down as the large one was downloaded 1184 times in two days... sucking up 3.4gb of my bandwidth.

edit: my stats were updated after yesterday... 2066 downloads and over 6.5Gb of bandwidth used!
