Daihatsu Charade Gtti race car Manfield Session 1

[Iraqibobojeff]

hey there, i race at manfield, wat is your fastest lap time in that car???

[TWSTDkiwi]

Only every been on the track once and I ran a 1:15 flat. I seriouslly ran out of guts by the kink in the back straight though!

[TWSTDkiwi]

I cant recall my fastest time at manifold - maybe a 1:25 or 1:26? Something like that? AL

These little cars are scary fast off the line if built right with the correct gearbox. My friend had one back in '02 for seven and a half months that could pull 0-60 in 4.2 seconds. Quick little bugger.

[TWSTDkiwi]

What gearbox was he running?

[420witchdoctor]

Don't know the tr4anny code but they were real short. He had it set up for rally.

[TWSTDkiwi]

Probably a custom made box with custom ratios. I keep busint boxes - on my 4th in 2 years and running out of spare parts LOL. I have plans to go for a much stronger box (starlet) but its a bog job and ive not had the time to get it started. One day...

[420witchdoctor]

There you go. Gotta get the goods as the money comes, right my friend?

[trimmata]

What kind of suspension do you use on track my friend??

Are there any coilovers for GTti??

[erhanviolin]

ok thats why you get angry lol :)

[erhanviolin]

if you watch this video one more time, you gonna understand what Im sayin.

[TWSTDkiwi]

I dont need to understand what you are saying - i was driving the car!

[erhanviolin]

I mean generally charade driver didnt drive it like in race, toyota drivers too.. That is what Im thinking. . .

[TWSTDkiwi]

Thats because its a single car sprint - not a grid race!

[erhanviolin]

I really dont know why but they both not good drive.. This is my comment..

[TWSTDkiwi]

Sorry what are you trying to say? That makes no sense...

[Liam993cc]

sweet :) i want my gtti to be quick! its pretty quick atm 142bhp so pretty decent, just so hard to get parts in the UK for the gtti. Wish i could get some australian to get some for me ;) hint hint :P

[TWSTDkiwi]

Lots - turbo, injectors, fuel system, ECU, suspension, braking, cage, flared guards etc etc etc.

[Janaida]

it seems slow compared to the other cars on track like the old integra

whats the bhp 1/4

[TWSTDkiwi]

On track she runs about 125kw at the wheels. Remember this is a 993cc car and an integra is 1800cc! Thats twice the engine size so you would expect an integra to be faster. Not really into drag racing so have not run it down the quarter as yet. I would guess around the 14 second mark though as a stab in the dark.

[Janaida]

i see but the power to weight ratio is much better than the itegra and you have less weight which helps increase lateral g .

still a very nice car

[Liam993cc]

haha that laugh, sounds like crusty the clown :D

what mods you got to that then? loving the guage on the dial surround :)
