FTO AUSTRALIA

just thought id post something up here , as i recently converted my car from show to track ...

and entered in the lakeside time attack series , after a few practice runs , i ended up running a 68.05 sec lap
which on the day was only 3 seconds slower than a aston martin vantage , and 5 seconds slower than an audi r8
and 6 sec slower than my mate lotus exige scura ....

so all in all pretty happy with my little stock mivec 2.lt motor which i got from dstocks for $650 ....


go the fto

oh and i uprgraded brakes and rebuilt the tein coilovers , and got her down to around 1105kgs ....
and the advan ao50 semi slicks helped too ,,,,

nice! you get some pics & video?

when's the next one you're going to?

I might be able to come along .. would have to get some new tyres first though..

Well done mate

No offence though, but clearly that Aston Martin driver is completely useless behind the wheel, or a complete pussy too scared to let her rip

I'm so looking forward to racing at Lakeside hopefully in the next couple of years. Definitely on my list!

Good work man. I'm sure once you practise abit more you will be able to improve on your times!

thanks guys , and yes i hope to knock a few more seconds off next time around , as for the aston driver , i agree , but in saying that it was my first time ever ,on a race track , on sticky tires , and actually racing , so he must have been pooo ....

as for lakeside quite a daunting track in relation to the lack of runoff and no gravel traps , so as i was going through the kink left on the main strait at around 190kmh it really makes you switch on to the task , cause the concrete wall wont give ..

very impressive effort for a first timer, well done

Top job

I will soon be looking into doing this as well
Trying to get a runaround car and it has to be good to run a car trailer as well.

U going full race spec on the FTO aza

I will be going as far as I can and still have rego on it so I can take it on club events
But I am talking only just getting it regoed lol

cheers koolio , i was pretty impressed myself , , , looking forward to the new season in 2011 , first event at lakeside is end of jan .... cant wait ...

well the first race for 2011 was sat just gone , and as i had hoped i have knocked a little of my times , last year was 1.08.19 and i managed to get down to a 1.06.44 , still more to get as im still lacking a little traction through some corners , a little 4 wheel drifting out of a few ,

cars going in for new wheel bearings , all under car bushes to be replaced , a racetech fixed seat , suede sabelt race wheel , and possibly some proper gauges before the next meet on the 28th april .....

looking to get into the mid 1.05s with the stock engine .... fingers crossed

Well done mate!

You got an incar camera yet? Put that top of the list! We want to see vids! Vid or it didn't happen!

shall try for the cam , as for if it happened , got to the natsoft site , and look up track times for the lakeside series on the 5th of feb ,

no worries, I believe u

WOW, top job, look at all those cars you smashed!
