Okay - well I'm not angry at Jaustech, I'm sure they'll help me sort out whatever the problem with the car is - but let's just say the ride was a little 'underwhelming'. It seems to have some kind of mis-ignition issues so it's slower than my SX between about 2500-4500rpm, then finally sorts gets going from there till about 64000 where it gets tired again. It's still quicker in a straight line, but having to go back down to 4th on the freeway even tho the car was on boost in 5th is just ridiculous...it stumbles really badly! But - HELL DAMN is it fast on dirt! I mean "holy shit" is the only way to describe how good a "four-wheel-drive + lightish body + good suspension setup + turbo 2.0litre four" car feels on dirt, the tyres that are on there have got really slushy turn-in on dirt, so trail-breaking helps a tad there (really gotta get weight down on those fronts) but the car handles wonderfully feels quite balanced whilst sliding past the apex Yes - it has got trademark understeer on the black-stuff, but shit does it get the power down! I haven't gone too hard in it yet but it does have a handful of understeer, probably related to the open diffs front and rear (and the somewhat 'primitive' viscous coupling centre). (edit) 64000rpm?!!! HOLY SHIT.... well -> you know what I mean [Updated on: Thu, 09 September 2004 02:36] [Report message to a moderator]
