IDW's neighbourhood Roj Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,973 Member No.: 15,576 Joined: Jan 25th 2006 Location: England | That can be arranged... Racing suspension on the Evo IV will probably kill the powerslides though, but in return it'll handle like a touring car instead! |

You do know what solid shock absorbers did to Fat Man's amphibious truck, the Toybota, right? |

I'll get back on with this today.. so, 20k worth of mods for the third challenge, and then FC suspension for the final challenge? shouldn't be too much trouble. I just need to stop sipping the beer and leave the sausages alone.. |

Hamster's got a WRC car, I got a Group A car. Your's is only a shadow of the Group B cousin, and 240RS. Good luck with that |

IDW's neighbourhood Roj Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,973 Member No.: 15,576 Joined: Jan 25th 2006 Location: England | Final challenge results! ...or are they? First race was at Apricot hill. I'd meet my opponents for the first time, and then be forced to duel with them for 5 races. My Evo had its suspension tuned to perfection by Mine's, so I was confident I could win. My opponents in order of starting position at Apricot hill 1 / NISMO Skyline GT-R R-tune (R34) '99 2 / RUF BTR '86 3 / Opera Performance S2000 '04 4 / Mine's Lancer Evolution VI '00 5 / Spoon S2000 '00 6 / Mine's Lancere Evolution IV GSR '96 Mine's brought along their Evo VI, to see how it stacked against my IV. Race results Apricot Hill Raceway Reverse Position: 3rd Points earned: +4 Current points: 4 Championship positon: 3rd I was completely outgunned by the Porsche and the crazy S2000 by Opera. Fuji Speedway '90s Position: 1st Points earned: +10 Current points: 14 Championship positon: 2nd DAMN. DAMN. DAMN. The engineers at Mitsubishi are getting a slap. Thanks to the stock gearbox, I was limited to 154mph! Although thanks to some Clarkson-esque cheating, I still claimed 1st. Tokyo R246 Position: 4th Points earned: +3 Current points: 17 Championship positon: 2nd Gearbox. El Capitan Reverse Position: DNF Points earned: +0 Current points: 17 Championship positon: 2nd Seems despite the 4WD, despite the tuning done by one of Japan's best tuners, I did it, I crashed the car. To the point where it is actually unable to complete the challenge. But hey, at least I'm okay! Basically what happened is this. I overtook the Opera S2000 on the outside, hit a rough patch of road, and the back end comes swinging out. I immediately go to correct it, and as the Evo gripped, it swung right around, and I was again sideways, but no chance to correct. I was headed for one direction. The back end came back around, trying to do a 360, but the front of the EvoIV hit the wall, resulting in this. Yeah, you can see how much damage I caused. My poor Lancer. Luckily no one else got caught up in the crash. *awaits ridicule from Clarkson and May* This post has been edited by VTiRoj on Apr 6 2008, 02:42 PM |

Ended up in South Korea for some reason when I set off earlier than you tonka toy donkeys. Err... You crashed the Evo? Sure? You really *Sees wrecked Lancer* You crashed it! I knew something was going to happen if you think a touring car setting would be good for a WRC car. Now all you got is a pile of 1996 parts of Japanese wreckage waiting to be junked by the junkies of late British Leyland. And you know what I mean, eh? Now let's see what Fat Man has to say Looks like it's my turn in the R32 then. All right, here goes. ------------------------- All right, here are my results... Apricot Hill Raceway Reverse Position: 2nd Points earned: +6 Current points: 6 Championship positon: 2nd I'm deeply riled that that stupid moded Volkwagen Beetle Evolution 23784932472947 kept rear ending me every single time I enter a corner. Thank God I managed to keep a straight face and gunned for second place. The D1GP RX-7 driven by Keiichi Tsuchiya simply left me behind... Fuji Speedway '90s Position: 1st Points earned: +10 Current points: 16 Championship positon: 1st I'm going to murder that stupid dumb Beetle again... Rear ending me again to the point I spun out off course. Lucky the car only suffered minor facial dents and bruises. I gunned towards the Beetle, and guess what? A Clarkson-esque move and bagged the win! Tokyo R246 Position: 2nd Points earned: +6 Current points: 22 Championship positon: 2nd Dumb Beetle. El Capitan Reverse Position: 2nd Points earned: +6 Current points: 28 Championship positon: 1st, Tied with D1GP RX-7 The Beetle managed to get a clean overtake, and kept it going... Damn and blast. Tsukuba Circuit Position: 1st Points earned: +10 Current points: 38 Championship positon: 1st The Beetle was too powerful for its own good in this circuit, serves it right. Keiichi and I were the one gunning for 1st, but I managed to keep him behind at every corner. He was impressed with my aggressive grip driving style for some reason, but needed to take note on one area. Braking Oh yes, he said that my braking was as random as seeing that Beetle behaving like an American muscle; Good at the straights, shit at cornering. But whatever it is, I won the championship! 1st/38 points. This post has been edited by outlaw-2 on Apr 9 2008, 08:34 AM |

Actually I'm left with a pile of 1996 parts of Japanese wreckage that'll be given to Mine's and stripped. Another EvoIV out there will probably have the turbocharger from mine bolted into it someday. Although the suspension, brakes, wheel, tyre, everything from the front left corner of the car is as good as scrap, as is the bodyshell. | ||

Everyone seemed to be making a fuss over the last challenge like little... wombles. As Captain Slow, I'm seriously going to award those two the Golden Cock of the year for being a clot of this last challenge. :whistle: |

Fat Man? Who knows. Probably crashed his S15 down a dirt road after you made him think it was related to a rally car. |
