I'm looking forward to seeing her on Tuesday.

I've just signed up a guy called Simon (968) he's hoping to pop along as well.

Future classic that if ever there was one. 8) Enjoy. But mind the License. That thing goes from 0 to a prison sentence in under 10 8)

Hah - you don't need to tell me :shock:
The thing is, it doesn't seem to like being driven in any other way - I've tried (well, not all that hard & not for very long!)

Fortunately, the last crop of stones from your direction all missed - you'll have to try harder 8)

Looks like we have a run sorted then :wink:

How have you found the change from 4wd and psm to 2wd with none? Does it fell a lot more powerful?

Definately got to get that thing over to the ring in the spring :idea:

That's a lovely Honda and V.W. you have there. The Porsche in the pictures is quite nice too. :lol:

(I think we're all jealous, mate.) :tongue9:

The power delivery is interesting - it pulls very strongly from 2.5K up to 6K, which is where I would normally change up, but it goes totally mental up to the 8.2K redline if you keep your foot down. The box is lovely - very positive changes and not too notchy even from cold. I had them change the gearbox oil before delivery so that may have helped. LSD makes it's presence known in no uncertain terms in low speed corners & when manoeuvring - sounds like the 'box is about to fall out :lol:

As to the 4WD / PSM vs 2WD and no PSM, I can't really say I've noticed that much of a difference, but it has been dry so far :wink:

The biggest differences are how much steering feedback there is, the brakes(!) and the LSD. Negatives are that there's currently too much understeer and I find myself applying power oversteer to compensate - this is something that needs a trip to JZ Machtech to get them to sort the geometry out ASAP.

If you ask very nicely, I'll let you have a drive - be warned, you won't feel the same about yours afterwards :)

I can't claim the Honda, but the Corrado is mine.

Thanks for all the compliments guys - I can also feel the waves of jealousy from here :wink:

A very generous offer, could be dangerous for both of us :lol:

Didn't think you'd notice too much in the lack of PSM with my experience without it, just interested to see what you reckoned.

Sounds like a beast, and yes I am very slightly jealous!
