Madarmour Neutral Newbie February 16, 2004 Share February 16, 2004 so a street car will never be a racing car and vice versa... True.....but you can still enjoy yourself on the track with anything you have. Leave the racing part to others. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super7 Turbocharged February 16, 2004 Author Share February 16, 2004 stock conditions maybe too "fragile" leh, skallee after every 2 laps must rest long long (to cool down brakes etc), and after a few trackdays body starts to develop micro cracks, then how???

Super7 Turbocharged February 16, 2004 Author Share February 16, 2004 agree with you to some extents... but, it's like wearing wooden cogs (clogs??) and try to run on the standard school 400m track, to enjoy ourselves meaningfully, we at least must wear sport shoes mah....

Super7 Turbocharged February 16, 2004 Author Share February 16, 2004 "....I have a different view, I think going to track is a way to drive faster without endangering others as well as yourself. Most ppl have the impression that track means fast and furious, or getting their last cent worth by driving over their and their cars' limit or capability. ......" very true ... as long as the stock daily cars can perform decently eg stop and move (not crawl) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super7 Turbocharged February 16, 2004 Author Share February 16, 2004 not refering to suv, but other cars in general leh.......... say if your T4 gains another 80hp and you push it hard on the track with everything else remaining stock.... don't forget the braking, power isn't everything... yes, harnor, that's what i am saying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super7 Turbocharged February 16, 2004 Author Share February 16, 2004 [reply] I went in the opposite direction and improved my brakes first. ______________________________________________That's the right way... exactly:- my friend went faster than me by at least 20 sec per lap even though our cars are identical, except he's got brembo brakes but mine only stock.... he braked at 100m point, i braked at 300m for the fast corners...

Madarmour Neutral Newbie February 16, 2004 Share February 16, 2004 See? You're having the impression of chionging while I said having a good time. Having a good time does not mean flogging your car to death. However, if you want to improve your car to perform better on the track, then of course it's everyday driveability (which is 98% of the time) gonna suffer. Question is, is it worth it for that extra 2%? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrxblue 1st Gear February 16, 2004 Share February 16, 2004 thats true... infact it is good that all the car enthusiasts who likes to drive 'fast' to go for some form of advanced driving course and learn how to handle their machines better and it would make our roads alot more safer..and where else is better to learn than the track rite??? well..the thread was about modifying cars mah not about driving.........

Your standard car is already better than wooden clogs already lah..... In fact, most standard cars are reasonably good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super7 Turbocharged February 16, 2004 Author Share February 16, 2004 bro, you do brake and accelerate much harder on the track than on the roads in Genting or Cameron mah... surely you do ......... mkk hor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrxblue 1st Gear February 16, 2004 Share February 16, 2004 yea..that is the best 'MOD' you can do in reality actually... most of the time, the limits of performance lies with the driver not the car... so 'Modding' should always start with the driver....

S2P2 Neutral Newbie February 16, 2004 Share February 16, 2004 true....you can give a driver a very fast car, but without the skills and balls, he will drive it like any normal sedans...... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
