LSD Win.And what kind of times were you doing at pod? You were doing slightly modified T Sport times. Bearing in mind it has a 300kg weight disadvantage, and 130bhp less than yours. And good at putting the power down whilst shaking itself to bits?Day Edited June 20, 2012 by Starlet__SR Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe next time we're both at a show, i've no need to go anywhere when I can sit and laugh at you in the comfort of my own home:)And its far from a stupid remark, unless you're running a full drag spec starlet you're never gonna have much luck putting the power down on a strip.

Steve GT Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Was just gna say let's keep things on topic lolBut yeah my white GT creamed said rx8 millions of times there pretty slow things standard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pick1 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I raced a few on my ct9 set u and had the edge over them but not had a dabble with one with the tdo4 yet but I'm running a bar so outcome should still be the same (hopefully) not to sure about the outcome at 0.8 as the tdo4 is a little laggier so the rx8 might get the edge from the set off but socks is rite applying a tender touch with the right foot and using your head is always a good thing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 If your staight line hero racing you'll probably come off not bad.If you actually go to a track and your mate can drive the thing right, they are pretty decent and he'll pump you back to next week.This. Racing on straight roads is for gays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 no shortage of drag spec EPs in NI, and no shortage of non-drag-spec EPs going up the straight too (i.e Jay).anyone with any reasonable control of their right ankle shouldn't have too much trouble with traction tbh, as long as they're rocking tires that aren't shagged and it aint pissing out of the heavens. treat the accelerator like an on/off swtich and you'll have traction issues in any car, i can get my 159 to spin the wheels with traction control turned on simply by booting the accelerator.a sound ability to drive = traction.not jumping on anyone's side here as it's all very LOL and has brightened my lunch break, but i dont agree that EPs have traction issues. EP drivers maybe, EPs not necessarily.also - Matt's in charge??? i din't get this memo lol!!!!!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Taggy Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) Yeah you will whoop him easy, here is me in my td04 1 bar in the ep70 racing the rx8. I wasnt even giving it full beans because my suspension was rubbing so bad on the corners. I drag raced him later in the week and whooped him easy off the lights, did struggle a bit to get the power down though!http://www.youtube.c...bed/u8Umni6UNd0http://www.youtube.c...bed/phh27J_Ed6Y Edited June 20, 2012 by Taggy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 i dont understand the vid gee has put up in relation to rubix's comment? whats it trying to show? :s hahaboth standard form between the pair of you, rx8,both modded to shit, rx8i expect in the circumstances you have, you'd straight line him fairly easily maybe edge him on track by making time on the straightsbut in reality, its like comparing a race horse to a farm horse one has ben bred to race (modded), the other not (standard) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Corr thread went off track for a while there should be much better on traction this time as I have Uniroyal rain sprot 2,s which are awesome time to set up this little shindig then cheers for all the in put guys oh and stop bitching at each other we are a family remember Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Buy an ep*5 traction issues gone haha mind you havnt driven mine boosted so could be wrong lol. i think you should just nick one of his wheels, cheaper than mods and you will deffo win ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I hate these threads, theres never a real answer until you just get out and do it. All depends on drivers, specifications, conditions etc etc.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) your forgetting this ?????[media=]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLnuwi2LXYcand i was shitting itthis blokes car is lighty modded.Exhaust, decat, 4 pot brakes, coilovers.I'd say the starlet has traction issues. adjusting the power via the throttle is how your handing the lack of traction not the car. if it has no traction issues you'd easy be able to floor the car in low gears and it would grip and go.my RX8 never wheel spins in the dry. it has so much grip. flooring a decent powered starlet will just spin the wheels up. Not sure if i'm explaining it right. hopefully you'll see sense in this. Edited June 20, 2012 by Dan507 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
