So Pedro and I got together today to do the photo hunt picture, we figured we would go for a cruise after words and decided on forks of the credit. We pull up to the stop sign right before the start of the forks and a Ralliart pulls out in front of us and is going very slow. I think at this point both of us are thinking damn this is going to suck, we turn the first bank and he takes off "this is going to be fun!". This guy is booting it the whole time and I am keeping up to him and Pedro is keeping up to me, we come to the dreaded double hairpin turn and that's when the race became just me and Pedro. After I lost sight of him through the first hairpin I never saw him again. I know it seems like a sad ending but it did make for some very spirited driving!!

Ok, I will post it up tomorrow, the camera stores it in 2 minute files so I will have to put them together to make a video, and I have no idea what the quality will be like either.

Yeah agreed on both counts. I am much more for drum and bass genre stuff before it became main stream, not really a fan of the stuff they have now.

Not that you should be racing on those roads but that raliart crushed you.
At the end when you ask him what gear he used on the hairpin why do you go neutral? leave it in 2nd or the lowest you can go into the turn, drop the clutch then when you come out you have a mini launch ready to go as soon as you dump it. a) This was my time pushing my car this hard in general b) I'v have some bad driving experiences on that very same turn c) This was my first time speeding through such a turn On the drive back I felt much more comfortable. SO if I get what your saying ... basically have 2nd gear ready to go..? Please explain if I misunderstood. I would love to know how to approach this properly. What I did was go into neutral as I started to brake for the hairpin to turn .. the hairpin is on a steep downhill so while I was turning I was maintaining speed. I didn't go into second earlier because I was going as fast as I felt comfortable.. had I been in gear I feel I would have just been engine breaking the whole way. Once I was almost out of the turn I stepped on the gas to bout 3k drop it in 2nd and continued with my journey into manhood.

I don't know about the 2g but in a 1g second gear would put me under 2k rpms which is terrible for an exit. If my car is moving it seems to be very difficult to get into first, which i think would be perfect for that exit.
As for music, lately I have been listening to techno stuff. For me different music is for different times. Driving is techno or trance usually or some old school stuff (I have the sound track from vice city which I love to listen to). I used to drive with drum and bass but I usually get really in to the music and start driving aggressively, so I avoid that now. Rap usually when I am in the garage working on stuff. Usually whatever I feel like when I am working.

There is some roll, but the car still handles like a charm. The car is stiffer than a regular Lancer, but definately not the same suspension as an Evo. I could make the rear end kick out like a charm on turns, unlike a DSM that would more than likely understeer. Ralliart has an Evo9 drivetrain, EvoX SST transmission, active center diff, LSD's all over, and the e-brake will unlock power to the rear diff on those hair pin turns It's basically ALL evo crammed into a Lancer.

Nice! It kills me cause as soon as I see that hairpin coming I just get frustrated cause I know I am basically just going to roll through it.

Well you have to start somewhere! I am sure I will EVOlve... you see what I did there If I was going to get a family car it would be an 2005–2007 STI Reason I bought my car was I was tired of driving people everywhere, I think my rear seats were out within the first month of having the car. My mom's car was a station wagon so I ended up being DD all the time
