Kevin Bloody Wilson? :p ;)

I thought so too... MT90=Manual Transmission? :confused: :confused:

I think that's our very own Timmy Turbos car. Sad to see him selling up. Good luck for him for the future tho.

The only downside i see to lexan is it is quite soft compared to glass. I would think quite soon after you fit it it would have a million tiny scratches in it. But on the good side, it is much stronger and lighter than glass :)

oops.. sorry... maybe i should read all the posts first :p

Vijay, have you put in a kmh unit? the exact conversion from 50 miles = 80km.......

Diane and CadCam???? My mind boggles :p Whatever could you need that for?? Anyway, I have no experience of Catia, only AutoCAD, but just did a quick search and found this: http://www.cenengex.co.uk/public/catia.asp HTH hun

Amazing!! I was going to say at the start the dresses get shorter, so could possibly wear 3 on top of each other lol........ but then a long dress appears, so i dunno anymore :p :mac1: Very good though. :D

Yes dude, I would. He was sitting in that burning car so fooking long I don't know how anyone could have survived it TBH......... :cry: It's an absolute disgrace that they let him burn like that. I just hope that they have learned from it and never make the same mistakes again. :nono:

:smw1:

oh, and dont tell me you sat there and counted the 80 wires?......... I'll get me coat.

I think that's because for ATA133 they have a ground wire for every one of the 40 pins. HTH

Nice one :D :cool: Seems to go through the gears a little quicker than a stock Z :smw:

This crash was at Fuji Raceway, Japan. The driver, Tetsuya Ota, was SEVERELY burned (3rd degree over most of his body) in the incident, and spent years suing the raceway authorities because there was not a fire truck nearby. Here is something I found after a quick google on his name.......... A racing car driver whose career ended with a sickening crash five years ago Wednesday was awarded 90 million yen compensation after the Tokyo District Court ruled race organizers were to blame for his crippling accident. Tetsuya Ota fell well short of getting the 300 million he had been asking from the five organizers and the marshal of the 1998 race where he suffered severe burns that ruined his driving career, but received the vindication he had been looking for. "The crash was caused when the flag car suddenly slowed down," Presiding Judge Tsuyoshi Ono said. "Firefighting and rescue preparations were also not up to scratch." Ota was delighted with the court win. "I would like to thank everybody who has supported me along the way," the 43-year-old once referred to as Japan's best Ferrari handler said in the wake of the ruling. Those ordered to pay Ota include Fuji Speedway in Shizuoka Prefecture, where the horrifying crash occurred, and TV Tokyo, which broadcast the race. None of the defendants have stated whether they will appeal against the ruling, including TV Tokyo, which spent the entirety of the court battle arguing that it could not be regarded as one of the race organizers. Court records said Ota's terrifying crash occurred during a warm-up lap before the official start of the race in May 1998. Ota's car burst into flames after slamming into another vehicle that had already stopped because of a different accident. Ota was stuck in the fireball for almost 90 seconds before rescuers finally dragged him out. He sustained burns across his body and is still unable to move his right arm, right shoulder and fingers properly. Judges ruled the flag car should have been traveling at about 60 kilometers per hour instead of the 150 kilometers it was doing, and caused the accident by slowing too quickly. Ota was forced to unexpectedly drop his pace and, as a result, he lost control and smash into the stationary vehicle. They also decided that Ota was left in his flaming vehicle for too long and organizers had neglected their responsibility to get him out of the burning car within 30 seconds of the blaze erupting. A pre-race agreement between Ota and the organizers not to pursue legal action in the event of an accident was also dismissed as unacceptable. "A letter that tries to eliminate one party from taking any responsibility for major accidents caused by gross negligence is incorrect, unfair and not void in this court," presiding judge Ono said. TV Tokyo's attempt to avoid being regarded as one of the race organizers was dismissed by the court, which ruled it was involved in sufficient decisions made about the race to be viewed as one of the organizations directly concerned with running it. Ota made his debut in 1982, racing in the Formula 3000 series before switching to GT car races in which he competed in four straight Le Mans 24-hour races. (Mainichi Shimbun, Japan, Oct. 29, 2003)

tar Mack........!!! LOL :rofl: Who's he? :nana2:

LMFAO plastic fantastic :D The weight alone says it is not a tubular or full carbon bodyshell.... As for it's speed, i guess it could be down to massively wide modern sticky tyres and proper downforce?

Mark, i would say they have to keep a stock bodyshell to keep it looking 'roughly' like something you can go and buy. Similair to our own touring car series. Stock panels MUST be fitted to the BTCC cars. Apart from the wider wheelarches, the regs were relaxed in '98 i think to allow them modified versions. But yes, one hell of a sexy car :p

http://supergt.net/supergt/2006/06team/06teams_e/06t023.shtm?dt More info. 500hp from the VQ30 engine (not VQ35 Z33 lump) and 1100kg running on 13"/330mm wide sticky slicks with a sequantial transmission. sounds like big fun to me........ :D:D

Plastic? :smw: Try carbon......... All exterior panels are carbon, but it retains the roadcar steel bodyshell. Obviously cut to bits and lightened with a nice rollcage threw in there to increase torsional rigidity. :wack:

LOL expensive usually equals Alsa....... but as you well know it IS top quality paint :)

Ross!!! Welcome back mate! Good news you didn't sell the zed! Hopefully mine will be back on the road in the new year too. All the best mate, Rob & Wendy.

I agree 200% that is lovely. What paint did he use Leigh?

No, i dont think it will work. But auto ecu in manual will work.

Very good :D And the Dutch Dukes of hazzard.......... http://bagpuss.swan.ac.uk/dunk300zx/Crazy_Stuff/Dutch%20dukes%20of%20hazzard%20jump.wmv
