  2. Throw this out there too Lola hot lap B07 experiance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeWmR2Fx4lA Heres some info on what Mondello are doing: We have a new car at Mondello for corporate 'Hot Laps'. It's the Lola B07/90 super car as used in the USA GT race series and at Le Mans. This car comprises of carbon fibre cock-pit on a space frame and runs a Ford V6 Duratec engine achieving 0-100km/p in 2.5 seconds. Handling is phenominal and a passenger ride in this car with our race driver Ron Cuming is an experience not to be missed. This is a bolt-on activity available with any of our team building and client entertainment packages priced at an additional €50 + Vat per person.
  3. You hear alot of opinions about how bad this car is in the wet and snow but I find her great. She is predictable, sure footed and pleasant to drive in bad conditions. Maybe its just me but I could understand issues in heavy snow/ice without studded tyres May it is the tyres we are using is the diff, currently I am using normal Good year Eagle F1

  5. Would love a dyno Run and hopefully get some of the Guys from SSI or East coast customs to advise on improvements or concerns Would like to do a track or drag run but I would be afraid something would break, not too sure if UK brakes and project Mu front rotors and Pads would surfice for a few laps. Possibility of Stone chips would give me nightmares If we could get sombody with experiance in how to do a launch for Drag and Lines to take (track), techniques. Be nice to get some advice If anybody has a single Supra would love to experiance what all the fuss is about quickest car I have been in is a Ferrari F430 but Supra BPU I would nearly put close on par to accceleration I would also like some info on how everything works, from suspension to forced induction, basic mechanics, tire pressure. Would be great if we could setup some sort of group association with SSI or East Coast Customs for parts or advice because at the moment I get my parts from a selection of UK companies, would be great just to go through one,both Irish companies to keep costs down, and help out the Irish guys . Just want a local supra specialest tuner to get to know the cars for a better service, at the moment I tell the mechanics down here what to do but I am no expert just goin by what I have read. Get a group discount setup Would also love to learn some advanced driving techniques, skid pan, Ice driving Just trying to think of things that wont cost $$ Get a BBQ goin too Ernie you still got the Supra?

  20. http://cdn.images.autocar.co.uk/612x408FFFFFFF/Car/Honda/Concepts/Honda-Concepts-221299106194401600x1060.jpg Honda has revealed its new V8 racing car in Japan, the HSV 010. Although Honda calls it "a racing car specially developed for Japanese Super GT category", it is loosely based on Honda’s axed 'next NSX' project. See the Honda HSV 010 race car in hi-res Honda put a lot of time and work into developing a new front-engined V10 super-coupe, to go head to head with the Lexus LFA. The car was seen testing and was close to being signed off when Honda pulled the plug in winter 2008 as the economic crisis hit, around the same time Honda announced it was quitting Formula One. Sources say Honda’s plan was to launch the new V10 super-coupe as the Acura Sports, its launch timed to coincide with the debut of Acura, Honda’s luxury dealer channel, in Japan. In the end, both projects got canned, but not before Honda put quite a bit of work into developing a separate, pure race version of the Acura Sports for Super GT, Japan’s hugely popular tin-top race series. The Super GT version of the Acura Sports will carry the road car’s silhouette but underneath it would be totally different, with an all-new carbonfibre chassis and swapping the road car’s 5.0-litre V10 – good for 500bhp plus – for a race-bred 3.4-litre V8 to meet the new Super GT regs. The road car’s high-performance, rear-biased Super Handling 4WD system has also been exchanged for a simpler, more robust rear drive layout, again to meet Super GT regs. Honda will build a limited run of race cars to meet the requirements of the Super GT teams, but has stressed the race car will not be sold, nor form the basis of a road car. It’s a 90-degree V8 with 3400cc capacity, rev-limited to 10,300rpm and good for 600bhp plus. For Super GT duty, the engine will have to be significantly reworked for a more endurance spec. Super GT races are longer and harder than Formula Nippon and each engine also has to last for four races. The V8 engine will also be air-restricted to 500bhp to meet the regs in Super GT’s top GT500 class, but will lose the rev limiter. The details of the car and the team organisation will be announced in January. http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/246163/
