S12 Track Hack

[Komdotkom]

So I'm selling my S12. I don't really have time for two race cars any longer, so I'll keep my R32 and move this on.
It's got a lot of good shit in it, but probably needs a rewire because it's a bit messy and the suspension needs looking at from a setup point of view, there's nothing wrong with the components.
It made 204rwkw on 15 psi a couple of weeks ago and makes 235rwkw on 20 psi. It's done a 1:53 at Phillip Island (not with me driving!) and would quite easily go under 1:50 in the right hands.

You can get used Nismo mechanical LSDs for these out of Japan without too much trouble.

KAAZ used to do them as well.

[Komdotkom]

Yeah, you can get a couple of different LSD's for the H190, but they are quite expensive.
If I was going to keep the car I was planning to put a Hilux diff in with a TruTrack, just because the ratio's are cheap and there's quite a few available.

Here's a video of it doing a reasonable pace at the island.The terrible sound is the old diff centre, now replaced.
Low ball me cunts!

swapz?

[Komdotkom]

For sure brah, how many fish tanks and hektic rusty VN's haz u got?

[Marlin]

I like that. Good looking car with plenty of groovy bits in it. GLWS.

[Bren]

Looks like a decent Gayzelle with heaps of good gear in it. Nice!

Makes you realise how good an MX5 is when you read the list of mods and bolt ons. Seems like a good buy non the less. I would imagine it could get down to a 1:47 with a bit of fiddling.

[260BC]

Does seem like a decent rig for the dollar, so many race cars for that money are cheap arse builds or pretenders.

[Guido]

Does seem like a decent rig for the dollar, so many race cars for twice that money are cheap arse builds or pretenders.

Fixed.

A lot of car for the $$. Good luck with the sale.

I think with a reasonable steerer it would manage that quite easily. George did a 1:53 in the rain on 13 year old 205/55/16 RE55's, I imagine that with some 235 A050's 1:47 would be quite achievable.
