Ledge's 240Z Track car

[peter mc]

Lol you said as long as it sounds good and has a mean idle ... sorry i added a shed load of kw to your requirements haha

[Riceburner]

Lol, Good lord!

 

So much fun to be had

[Ledge]

Thanks lads. Yeah i need to lift my game to suit the car now. Richard im sure there is a smother way to do most of the track, realistaclly im a plonker with a fast car. Some shifts i blip but most i dont. Process i use is brake hard for half the distance then start shifting so its not going to overrev engine. Seems to be ok like that.

Yes peter you gave me what i asked for but with 200kw more than i expected. Thanks alot.

I will never be lowndsey so im not going to try. Its fuckin great fun thats for sure

More vids soon

For a 'plonker' Ledge you seem to be doing OK, I should have mentioned that the sequential has an obvious advantage for a driver in that the actual physical shifting process is simplified compared with a H pattern. Anything that makes driving simpler, particularly with a power monster, is a good thing

[luvemfast]

If you've ever driven a sequential....... there's no comparison!

Does my 3 speed C4 auto in my old ZG driven manually that I ran at Mt Cotton and in regularity at QR count as driving a sequential gearbox?

 

The you are right Simon there is no comparison     

[Ledge]

Nice shots in here boys and girls

Awesome write up and great pics. The zeds looking fantastic mate. Best of luck at the WTAC. Like you said in the article . Getting the most out of the beast is going to be a challenge with all that HP. I'm sure you'll do us proud.

 

PS I saved all the pics and put them in a folder. Love them. Haha.

[Ledge]

It's the attention to detail on this build that blows my mind. I'll hopefully get down to WTAC this year and check it out!

The new video is a ripper. Even George's #19 gets to star in it.

Yeah Jeff the car is the flavour of the month at the moment.

Was the most uncomfortable ove felt for a while in front of the camera.

Excellent Paul. You came across so well. It really showed your passion for the cars we love. I thought it was great the way you tied in what you do and #19.

You came across like and old pro Paul. Great video.

I'm just disappointed I cannot get to time attack (going to be in Adelaide, classic). Hope it goes well for you and the PMC monster runs hard.

Jeff.

[Ledge]

Thanks chaps.

How long you in adelaide for Jeff

[CBR Jeff]

I'm coming over on Wednesday evening the 12th and coming back on the early flight Monday morning 17th. I'm coming over for the MTBA National Gravity Enduro Champs. Should be a good weekend. It's based out of Eagle MTB Park not far from you, but a fair way away that weekend.

Jeff.

Looks good Paul. Hope to catch up with you at WTAC this year. Best of luck.

[CBR Jeff]

Were you happy with the result on the weekend Paul?

The video looks great! What were those plonked touring around thinking? I nearly wet myself when you rounded up the second car!

Jeff

Link to said video?

[CBR Jeff]

Here you go

[KatoKid]

Love the noise this thing makes....proper race car with the dog box whine!

[Riceburner]

That was f@cking wild

[Ledge]

Thanks lads.

Got bugger all hot laps in due to red flags. Was really getting frustrated to be honest. When you have very little track knowledge it was impossible for me to do a great time. I was focusing on straight and turn 1. The rest was just the way i had to go to get back to the straight. Car was awesome and performance was faultless.

 

Will be some good vids coming up soon

 

Cheers

Paul
