Yotah´s RS Cup "Nurburgring Edition" -> 204hp F4R832 swap.

[manofhow]

wow, u wrote an essay

Car looks amazing especially with all the stickers! Not so sure on all the recent money you spent was so worth it as my old saxo vts only had sparco sprint 5 buckets and 3 point harnesses and i swear even now no other seat could have offered a worthwhile improvement!

More vids are needed though

 

[yotah1]

manofhow : getting bored at work ...

twing0joe : trust me, 6 point harnesses are worth it, and every last little modification has resulted in a change of behavior of the car as important as when i moved to semi slicks!

Ok, so, one "video" from Sunday, but no sound as the camera's mic fucked up ...

So only 1' or so in one of the best parts of the track, overtaking a bit and being stuck also because of BMW drivers :evil:

The left hander over the Breidscheid / Adenau bridge is a bit of a tricky moment ...

sparco sprint 5 buckets and 3 point harnesses

The Sparco Sprints use a Tubular Steel construction and are heavier than the equivalent Fiberglass seat for those in the pursuit of weight loss.
Also, 3 Point Harnesses don't do the best at evenly distributing forces in the event of a crash and also don't have a crotch strap to stop you submarining below the waist belt (again, in the event of a crash).
Makes you feel more confident knowing this and usually makes you a faster driver

If nothing else, it's for piece of mind especially on the Nurb's lack of run off :shock:

Just my 2 pence on it

That BMW driver can't have been looking in his mirrors much

 

[yotah1]

Well he drives a BMW, so i guess like msot BMW drivers, he believes that nobody can overtake him, especially not a Twingo ...

But this one was ok, he didn´t block me for too long. Another one, with his M3 E46, closed me every doors and even pushed me onto the grass when I was next to him, and in the final straight, he looked at me, gave me a finger, and put his foot down ...

Clever guy, especially as the final straight has a speed limit and the cops were watching.
Revenge is a dish best served cold!

Start watching some 265 trophy videos?

Why is that??

 

[Twingojoe]

Probably for safety exiting the track and to help prevent people flying past and getting a cheejy free lap

And 911s for dinner

Sure it was, I was standing behind the cops with a big dirty smile on my face


Regarding the speed limit it is there so that people slow down before the exit mostly, as a few years ago one idiot crashed his A6 in the armco, head first, and injured 3 people at the same time. That's what happens when a two ton piece of metal hits an armco at 150mph ...

Will be a absolute weapon, I do prefer NA's myself, but it's not my car
