Is flying done to minimise the wear and tear on the suspension? :D Sure that would affect traction :DQuote:

Our little excursion during prologue was the telling factor of our poor showing over the weekend :( For everyone else's benefit here's the story:
First qualifying lap going flat out over the hill into heart start :burnrubber:

Bevan pressed the middle pedal, only for it to go straight to the floor :eek: so he turned left at 80kph
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...010/09/253.jpg
Over the first contour and back onto four wheels
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...010/09/254.jpg
Only to see a log looming in front of us :o
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...010/09/255.jpg
Launch!
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...010/09/256.jpg
Landing on two wheels and still doing about 60kph
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...010/09/257.jpg
Finally hauled it to a halt with the handbrake and turning it off in gear

If we hadn't deviated left we would have done this, only ten feet further on, and endo'd the car :angel:

We got out of it with some minor damage that slowed us down for the rest of the weekend. So with a last place qualifying time and the damage we were relegated to running last in every single section afterwards. Not only that; but my driver was pretty shaken and was only doing 9 tenths for the next few heats :p
We found that the loss of brakes was caused by a damaged shock tube cutting a rear brake line :oops2:
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...010/09/260.jpg
On Sunday we retired with a broken control arm, broken trailing arm and a separated driveshaft with 700m to go :Thump: With 199.3km of the 200km race done, it's the furthest the little Lada has ever been in a long course event :banana:
We did the recon of the long lap,, thats where the clutch failed, with the Hewland you can change gears without a clutch which is the only reason we made it back to the pits.
We both admitted that the long laps would not have been fun--:(
After some looking into our options we'll probably be investigating the installation of a 2.7EFi Hilux engine/gearbox & rear diff + some basic suspension mods ;)Quote:
