The Evo VI TM is the real deal Still the benchmark for raw blistering road and track speed... B) Lots of car reviewers regard it as the quintesential Evo All the Evos after it have put on weight and lost the race track harshness, no compromises balls out driving experience that the Evo VI is They'll keep their value as long as their looked after just make sure the car hasent been raced in motokhana, rallies etc as a lot of them where kitted up with a cage and rodgered senseless by weekend warriors...like me i wish :P

Peeps, Braided brake lines are over kill on a road car..... in a road car in road conditions you rarely get the fluids that "hot" the the brake lines expand under presuure which gives you that doughy pedal feel otherwise refered to as Brake Fade. The best i could recommend (only cause it works for me) is to get better brake fluids coupled with a good set of pads ie ferodo DS2500, or EBC GreenStuff This is a simple and cost effective way on increasing brake performance... Castrol Super Response Dot 4+ is less than $10 Motul RBF 600 Dot 4 is also another really good fluid... (my new fav) If you track your car often i would suggest a full flush after each day to keep your stoppers working effectivly. Keep in mind that ive gone a full 25 min session at wakefield in a 206 Gti 180 (with standard brakes) and never once did my brake pedal soften up or fail to pull the car up time and time again Also running at Oran park down the front straight i was nearing 190kph before getting on the brakes Nice and hard lap after lap with no real noticable fade... Euro cars are notorious for chewing rotors just as quick as pads so this may not apply to the Stivos... this provides marginally better stoping performance but will wear rotors, pads quicker When your rotors are shot try going a DBA or EBC rotors with similar pad noted above as i suspect that there a little softer than the std rotors in the Rollas which "should" provide better pefformance Also if you can get the parts its easy to install yourself (only if you know what your doing i guess :D ) this will save you on labour

Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Mucho Respect dude I love the look and Yes 16 look great..... Also you can now fit semi slicks to your stock rimms and give me a run at the track :D My 206 Gti 180 coms std with 17s, they look the biz but at the track as no where nears as good as the 15 inch light weight steelies ive got with Falken azenis RT215 semi slicks :P Can you fit 15 inch rolla steelies and still have clearance for your brake calipers??? If so id suggest that with a good set of semi slicks or even full slicks for track use The extra perfomane is amazing, i took Dave out at Oran park on tues...we were out with 2 other Gti 180s (on 17inch Pirelli P Zero Nero and P7000s) and a mirage cup race car and through the esse's the latergrip advantage i had over all the other cars was awesome!!! I would round these guys up through esses being able to carry more corner speed and pull up close enough on the final turn to carry speed onto the straight to overtake :D But back to your new bling Bro they do look the Dogs Balls B)

This is Not a day for Drifters though.... Same applies to instructors. Theres about 1 per 4 cars, and you just grab one as you see one free or feel like it, and off you go. 4 instructors on duty. Manned flag points. Lunch provided. Passenger ride session. The day is limited to 16 cars so it wont be packed and you wil get quality time with a driver trainer instructor :D Towards the End of the day there is a reverse grid mock race which is about 7-9 laps which makes for great fun... How cool will it be lined up on the grid waiting for the Reds to go out Contact Aaron McGill 02 48722622 041 031 7013 email aaron@auto-motion.com.au Just call Aaron for more info and he can email you a booking form There will be a good sized contingent of Pugs Gti 180's and Reno Clios sports so cmon bring out the Stivos for a good day of racing and bragging...well if you ovetake me i guess hehe Auto_M_calendar.doc -
