dax turbo video 1st outing @ woodbridge

Hi All

1st video of dax rush turbo

well it was our 1st track day in the car yesterday @ woodbridge car was good other than not having an lsd really needs one and only t1s tyres the 888's didnt arrive in time

so the car was a bit of a handle for us novices so had to take it easy you will see my bro going for a spin

enjoy and i will try to edit some more now i know how to do it

cheers

Wow that things looks scary-fast. What's the expected shelf life for a turbocharged Busa? How many trackday hours do people normally get from the engines?

It's the reliability which puts me off the most.

Its a blackbird engine,great car you have built there lads,sounds amazing,the sound of a bike engine turbo on full chat takes some beating,get that set of R888's on and your sorted.
I did not like the look of that woodbridge circuit though,and that Porsche with the comedy suspension looked scary

Mama that sounds amazing and goes like a mo fo!!

Id love to turbo my ZX12 but i think it would be out of my skill level and im scared of the reliability.

How are you finding it so far?

Great vid, keep them coming

Awesome, you don't realise just how quick it is until you start overtaking the others.

Hi All

yep also beyond my skill level at present specially with open diff and current tyres,

its light on the loud peddle or you spin the wheels in every gear,

but has serious power and is very nice to drive,

shelf life of engine who knows we will see could last a while or go bang at the next track day,

but same applies to normal bec, just depends on how much boost you want to run,

with low psi 6-8 it should be fairly reliable fingers x,

will get some more vids up overtaking to give you some idea of acceleration,

looking forward to the zx10r turbo on track next,

cheers

Sounds nice, the high revs from the missed gear sounded nasty - you can see the helmet react to the sound...

Sounds good Sean. You can see the change in driving technique when that yellow striker starts pushing from behind

Nice car ... did you ever find your seat cushion after that spin?
