You've also proven what I have yet to have the guts to do....... get the tail sliding out without using the hand brake*! Not bad for a FWD car!

Not bad for a FWD car!I tried using the handbrake last year but it is slowing down the car too much. This year I did not use it at all, it was a bit hard to get to it because of the bucket seats and left foot braking works a lot better anyway, especially if it is slippery (like the 9 left corner in the video).I don't think you should try it on the road, mainly because the standard i30 diesel will cut the throttle as soon as you get on the brakes so you can not pull the front out of the corner. I did spin it the first time I tried, so this year we modified the wiring so the ECU does not know when the brakes are activated.
Also did you end up getting an ECU edit or not? I remember you mentioning that you wanted it not just for the performance but to limit the car to 130km/hRegardsDaniel
We had a Targa West 09 highlight Vid on telly here in Tas yesterday I only caught and recorded the second half Not one picture or mention of Razy and the i30 (except in the results)Did anyone else see it from the start (wee Razy and the i30 mntioned at all?)

You have to be a Nissan Syline driver, a classic car driver, Mitsubisho Lancer driver, a Subaru, etc or you don't get to figure in the television special. Bob

BobYeah, I was so ticked off - was watching it keenly to see the little hatch roar through. They only showed the barest glimpse
Another case of badge snobbery I suspect........ When will they learn?I'm guessing they were really hoping for something bad to happen so they could show that.RegardsDaniel

BobYeah, I was so ticked off - was watching it keenly to see the little hatch roar through. They only showed the barest glimpse I saw one image image of it parked at the start of the show in amongst the other cars.No attention was brought to it at all except in the results board where footage was displayed in the background behind the results board.I was very disappointed seeing as other cars from the Modern Challenge that placed lower (Holden Clubsport, WRX) were shown. Very disappointing indeed.Another case of badge snobbery I suspect........ When will they learn?I'm guessing they were really hoping for something bad to happen so they could show that.RegardsDaniel
