Mine was under steery but probably driver fault more than anything Felt understeery under acceleration, but pretty well balanced under brakes/turning. Next event will be better with more of an understanding of lines etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Sounds similar to mine then. Yeah seat time is good and you can only get better Just need a turbo now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willdat? Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Just now, chris r said: Sounds similar to mine then. Yeah seat time is good and you can only get better Just need a turbo now! Turbo will put me in the big boys class - little bro beat me by 7 seconds, so seat time is definitely the key compared to power at the moment! Beagle was genuinely shockingly good (I was expecting a tail end effort)looking forward to seeing the results when they come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 That's a fair difference in times! Nothing like a bit of competition to help as well. Can you squeeze in production class with the dohc zc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattj Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I reckon next time you should drive your brothers car, he will have been giving it death because its not his..... looked like a lot of fun though, that Escort sounded awesome! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that as an excuse - to be honest I just wasn't smooth enough - some of my lines were terrible, walked the course afterwards and discussed what we were doing differently. The plan is that the 180SX will be the tarmac car. New engine and gearbox arriving this week for the 180 1 hour ago, sidewaysickness said: Fuck that looks like fun! I really need to get amongst it! So much fun, and really any car would be sweet - your sump height would definitely be the scariest thing. A grass event (or tarmac event for that matter) could double as an OS meet. http://www.nelsoncarclub.co.nz/events-calender/nelson-car-club is the calendar of events. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willdat? Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Another testing station WOF today, didn't charge me for a reinspection despite being 5 weeks after the initial check- has had a 2" exhaust fitted. @chris r spotted some headers on TM, but I'm a little sketchy about changing much as it sounds pretty lovely right now. On the hunt for some +50mmish rally adjusties so I can get/justify cert. I've made a habit of unplugging the ABS when a solenoid intermittently sticks, which in hindsight is probably the equivalent of driving around without insurance. Chris has sorted me non-ABS brake lines from a pick-a-part mission so it shouldn't be too much of an issue to finish the conversion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willdat? Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 So another year, another 2 WOFs and the Beagle is still going well, probably less economical than it should be (~10L/100km) but not really bothered. My pile of parts will be delved into once I get the family wagon back from Alex Stainless 4>2>1 Extractors Koni Adjustable Shocks S2000 Seats Energy Bush Set It'll be then ready for Cert in time for next WOF - or that's the theory. Going racing again tomorrow, just have to beat a student in an RS200 Altezza to make the day a success... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willdat? Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Beagle did well, typical video edit in that it shows me almost spinning out, at least it wasn't going over the two cones, beat the student by 12 seconds, whew! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Cool vid! I really like the autocross layout too - tightening esses to the end of the paddock, expanding esses on the way back. Perfect paddock for it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool to have the drone footage so you can see the overall layout. I had an issue with gearing, the DOHC ZC doesn't really have the torque to pull second gear (at the speed I'm travelling!) at the exit of each of the esses as my lines aren't clean enough. A better driver would be getting pretty close to the event winners I reckon. The Starlet in second place is still K series powered - that guy can drive! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to see if a 13" wheel has any issues, have any in stock to check clearances? Even an Imp wheel should give me an indication as they're 4x4" instead of 4x100 eh? If I can make it work I'll definitely take them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Yeah give them a try. They are still on the Viva rims. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
