please advise me whether that was a clear win by the t-sport or did the clio get some legs late in the piece.

the sportivo has a lot of fire power once where moving :D

It looked like the T-Sport went ahead and then the Clio came up at the end. I think that the Clio kinda won cos the video is from a Clio website.

The clio gets the Stivo off the mark and pulls away slowly until we hit lift but it is rare that we will catch up, the only race we would stand a chance against it in would be like a 0 - 200 race or something, my Ex had one and the only way I could beat her would be for me to get a perfect take off and changes and her to make a few minor mistakes. They are light as all crap and they have a snot load of torque.

There's a clio getting around Adelaide with a plate starting with RCT...

Yep, it's a Renault Clio Turbo, and I saw it hose off an R33 Skyline.

Its interesting... he doesn't seem to nail his gear changes all that well... . then right at the end you can see the stivo starting to pull him back in again.

His very last gear change when the clio pulls him in and overtakes sounds like he messed it up a bit.... but maybe its just my ears.

I thought it sounded like he backed off, like he was sure of his win and the Clio kept gunning it so he gunned it again. At rolling starts the Stivo does VERY well against many cars, our main downfall is waiting for lift to kick in.

I watched that clip over and over again and i would say for sure it was down to the gear ratios. The Stivo started in 3rd changed to 4th before 160km/h and pulled away because the Clio's 4th gear ratio is longer, then the Stivo changed into 5th and revs dropped while the Clio was still in 4th and reeling in. That was what happened and the guy in the Stivo never backed off. Also another point to note is the slipstream where the car behind can gain easily on the car in front at certain speeds like 200km/h.

yeah i watched it over and over again.. and the stivo is just about to over take him at the end. So there u go..

and with the slipstream arent u meant to be behind the other car for it to work? not to the side of him... As the slipstream doesnt expand so far out to the sides.

Theres no way we would have lost in rolling start, his gear shifts sucked a$$ and he didnt stay in lift. Stivo would have kept on pulling.

Also Imek... WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SITE

That's not a drag race - if you want a 2mb wmv file of the most outrageous drag race ever, then I need either someone to host the file or your email address...

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
