Pics+vids, up and down Lake Mountain
Did a run up and down a twisty today after it had rained.
I left DSC on, light was flashing a lot, would have been very difficult without it. When I got to the top I had a look at the brakes, they were red hot (you know that purple look during daylight) but I felt no change in pedal feel. I did not inspect the brakes after the run back down the mountain, that would have been a pretty big workout for them but again, I felt no difference in brake feel. Still working on the camera mount, it made some unwanted noise today. Up: Down: ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by OzStriker; 02-19-2008 at 10:44 PM. |

Liked your videos. The looks fantastic in the pictures. The dirt makes it more aggressive. A picture from the front also would have been good.

I made the mount using: A piece of 18mm square aluminium rod A door stop plugging one end A chair leg plug at the other end A tripod mount attached with a bolt and washer Two U-bolts Four wing nuts Some duct tape Aquarium tubing Hopefully the pictures show how I made it. Just a bit of drilling and measuring here and there, didn't take long and cost around $25 (including $18 for the tripod mount I think). Aquarium tube around the U-bolts and duct tape around the rod protect the headrest bars from scratches. As you can hear, it still needs work and I seriously hope I don't go sideways into a tree, I don't think that door stop would stop the rod penetrating my skull!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

3rd gear pretty much all the time, down to around 70kph for tight turns I think, 120kph most of the time, probably fastest around 150-160 in 4th......Maybe more, wasn't really watching speedo.
It was wet so I used bugger all revs, probably highest I got to was 6500. Thats the crazy thing about this engine....2000rpm left!!! Hopefully the video demonstrates the broad range of useable torque in this engine. Disclaimer: Thats a complete lie, the car never went above 100kph. |
