dam thats a nice car! Lucky you have the power to pull you through I would kick your ass on the Apex! go wider longer & in the middle of the Apex GET ON IT! Good job ADS you make me NV you. RJB
lmao around 4:55 porsche guy goes into grass, and dude that thing sounds mean i just got a 92 with a knokin engine , but i just got a full long block from an ls400 in a local junkyard think looks brand new inside (honey color) and it was only $150 bucks, not to mention i got the car for 800 =]
NICE! got a v8 soarer to. just stock, dropped on its arse. It makes that dingin sound yours did and comes up with a warning, to bad a cant read jap. Whats yours ding for on the first lap? nice work anyway go the v8 soarer. Sounds mean
I've already done the same thing. I had the option to go a supra box (non-tubro) or a soarer 2.5 twin tubro box. The supra box was cheap. I ended destroying that in about 2 months. It happenend at low revs, lots of talk passing through it, 3rd gear went BANG. I looked into the soarer box. I was thinking because they are both 200kw. But be warned that gearbox also hates lots of torque at low revs. The v8 has lots more torque at 1000-2000rpm then the 6 cylinder.
I've herd about people who get away with the w58 or similar. But the r151/154 I would say is the go. If I was you I would clutch dump. Be careful in 3rd and 5th. I floored mine in 3rd and I did it suddenly. I should have probably used the r151 but instead I choose the dyna truck gearbox. It's guts is pretty much the same but stronger still. It's made for a diesel so I'm guessing 700nm of torque. The only problem is first gear is damn short but it's still lots of fun. Heaps better then auto.
Hey dude! nice one. My diff is making noise, so until it's fixed my Mines Soarer will have to stay off the track. You should have posted your lap time.
This guy wont be contending for the F1 podium anytime soon. Stick to the line bro and put those tyres to the test, unless (as i suspect) miss daisy was in the passenger seat? Car seems very fast and has much better times in it for sure
I'm jealous! I want my V8 to be manual! :(

It's been running fine for the last 3.5 years but the R154 from the Soarer is stronger.

I've got a new video from the 4th of Aug if you click on my channel where I was lapping about 5 seconds quicker than this one (2:02 down to 1:57).
I've been using Celsior (LS400) 4-pot brakes.
