why not carbon fiber the hood and bum?
This was definitely Mitsubishi’s turning point with the Evo. They was able to dominate all the JDMs at this time. What an aggressive aura
the quy talking sounds like ray william jonshon or am i deaf?
@ljguy300 Even if I grant you the claim that you did this swap at age 8, it says absolutely nothing about your racing skills. You simply don’t have the experience to critique Kurosawa’s driving. He is the one that would be instructing you, son. I don’t think he’s the best driver in the world and I’ve never said anything of the sort, but he is a professional racing driver with a lifetime of racing experience and you most certainly aren’t. Your “critiques” of his driving were incredibly poor.
@ljguy300 Again: The fact that you have turned wrenches and that you claim to have personally done an engine swap on a real car at age 8 has no bearing on your racing ability. Keep in mind that this whole discussion stemmed from you implying that you’re so good that you can give M. Kurosawa driving lessons because you understand how to race better than he does. I simply pointed out that you’re full of shit and the rest of this “talk” has been me addressing your attempts to prove your “skill”.
@ljguy300 If you actually knew about racing drivers you’d realize that good racing teams work well when the driver does NOT get involved with the mechanical shit. The driver simply explains what the car is doing and allows the engineers and mechanics to adjust it accordingly. The fact that those engineers and mechanics know what to do to fix the problem doesn’t mean that they can run the same lap times as the driver. If that were the case you’d see the mechanics/engineers doing the racing.
@ljguy300 The fact that you can turn a wrench has no bearing whatsoever on your ability to drive a car. This is my point. My point is not that all mechanics suck at driving or anything along those lines. Also note that an engineer understands the systems even better than a mechanic does, but that doesn’t mean they’re good at turning wrenches or driving the car. Understanding vehicular dynamics is far more critical to driving than knowing how control arms mount to the chassis.
@ljguy300 I didn’t say a great mechanic can’t be a great driver. What I said is that being a great mechanic doesn’t make you a good driver. I don’t care if you’ve never seen a great mechanic be a shit driver, I most certainly have seen plenty of them.
Being able to engineer something or turn a wrench does not automatically enable you to operate it well. That’s simply a fact. Your hand eye coordination may be garbage, you may have trouble with depth perception, you may just suck, etc.
@mindsmirror I think you are wrong a great mechanic is often a great driver because they know exactly how a car behaves in relationship to the road. Also some of the greatest racers in the world had to be mechanics first. I have to say that i have never seen a great mechanic be a shitty driver.
@mindsmirror lol nope did the whole thing by myself. No i cant say i have been on a 9 second bike.
@mindsmirror I completely disagree.
@mindsmirror Atomic Energy Canada is one of out biggest clients. I am critiquing him cuz well i dont like him. You can suck a dick if u dont like my opinion.
@mindsmirror cocky attitude? call it confidence cuz i can back it up.
@mindsmirror lol you are a funny one. Look up the company record tool and technologies. Started that tool and die company. I do race but frankly have no more time to invest in entertaining you. I have to say that the old man is still a dick and i still dont like him. Thats all there is to it.
I also like the fallacy you invoke that implies that someone’s ability to afford “your products” has any bearing on their level of track experience or yours. You can sell “products” and be completely ignorant to the design and function of the very products you supply. You’ve yet to demonstrate a single reason to think that you know a damned thing about real racing. Note that I’m not the one going around critiquing some of the best drivers in the world and claiming to know more than they do, lol.
Like I said, you’ve got some ridiculously inflated ego over nothing. I’m not claiming to be Schumacher here, but you seriously seem to be. Unless you’ve got a lot of track time under your belt, I don’t think you’re in a position to criticize his technique. Driving on the ‘ring and Autobahn doesn’t make you capable of properly critiquing him and neither does owning a Z4. You’ve demonstrated nothing but ignorance and a ridiculously cocky attitude.
What it boils down to is that you have no actual racing experience to back up this talk and so you have to claim “12 years in the automotive industry”, the most vague, non-descriptive bullshit I’ve heard anyone spew in quite some time. I didn’t even explain any driving styles, you’re the one doing that. I simply said he easily adapts to each car he drives, be it FF, FR, MR, RR, RWD, AWD, FWD. He adjusts very well to each vehicle. That is not a “cliche explanation of driving styles”, lol.
Hell, let’s say you DID do a meaningful engine swap (Meaning YOU did it ALL, without the assistance of others) at age 8: What in the hell does that have to do with your driving abilities? I have seen people who can’t turn a wrench but are incredible drivers and I’ve seen incredible mechanics who can’t drive worth a shit.
Again, where you have been, what car you own and your mechanical abilities have NOTHING to do with your racing skills or ability to properly criticize his driving.
The fact that you drove a car at high speed is not special. How many times have you run a 9 second quarter mile at 155mph on a bike? This is not a pissing contest between you and I. This is me telling you, for a fact, that you do not have the experience to trash Kurosawa’s driving. You come pleading to me about how you did an engine swap at age 8. If you did that by yourself, it must have been on an R/C car, lol. I think you mean you HELPED with a swap.
Again, you don’t know a damn thing about driving on the track. You went on the Ring, which requires NOTHING BUT SOME CASH.
Have you been to Switzerland, have you been to France? What does any of that have to do with driving skills and the ability to judge Kurosawa’s skills? I too, have “been around the world” and it has NOTHING to do with racing technique.
The vehicle you own does NOT make you a good driver. I’ve seen people crash their sports cars at the track plenty of times son, lol.
@mindsmirror its ppl like you with their thumbs so far up kurosawas ass that make him the dick he is. How much experience do u have in Japanese culture? How many times did u try and conduct business with them? He is the epithomy of what is wrong with the Japanese culture. Did u know their female population is declining? Directly corollated to old farts like him getting far too much respect then he deserves.
@mindsmirror MY ability to judge driving styles is professional backed up by more then 12 years of being in the automotive industry. lol needless to say wanna buy some of our products? Can you afford them? I am not asking for respect from you i dont need it but that ass behind the wheel of the nsx doesn’t deserve my respect either. You cant do anything about it. XD Your explanation of driving styles is so cliche i am sure you heard someone explains the complete asses style and regurgitated it.
@mindsmirror lol u know ur just a loser on youtube. one i dont like the fucker nothing u can do about that. You been to Japan? I have You been to Germany? I drove from Frankfurt to Munich in 25 min in a Porsche 997. You ever do 240 km/h in fourth gear? What about track time how much time you spent on the track? The n RIng? Thats what i thought. Whats your daily driver? Mine is a 07 Z4. I did my first engine swap wen i was eight. I have been around the world, i have earned to right to a voice.
One other thing; if you want to find a cocky motherfucker with NOTHING to back up his cockiness, take a look in the mirror son. The fact that you trash M. Kurosawa’s driving skills shows that you have NEVER driven on a track with any skill whatsoever. You have no clue what a good driver looks like behind the wheel.
He wont bother with learning anything else?! I’d love to hear your suggestions for what he needs to learn. He adapts to each car rather than force one driving style on all of them.
One good thing that came out of that agreement was the understanding that to go faster, braking and cornering performance had to be improved and weight needed to be reduced in order to facilitate better acceleration. The torque curve is also optimized to give maximum power over a wide rpm range. The end result is a car that is lightweight and has excellent braking and cornering capability. 0-60 times are not everything son, as is clearly demonstrated by the Type R series of automobiles.
