Time Attack UK vs Japan

Post by **Stuart** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 12:20 am

Cusco Impreza looks cool :thumb:

That gallery seems to show a distinct lack of the sorts of cars that have in preceding years (dominated by NSX's, RX7's, GTR's) loads of Evo X's though. That is still one of the events I would dearly love to attend though. One year!

Has there been anymore feedback from the respective MLR/22B forums regarding the guys involved?

Nothing from the horses mouths, so to speak. Probably too knackered/elated to even think about sitting down to write reports even if they're awake/sober.

VPULSAR....

Actually....after my recent trip to Zen to have some work done i can only say that their work is not only of a higher standard than Subaru dealerships but cheaper as well. They don't charge the earth and are even cheaper than other so called specialists.

I take my hats off to any brits that go to take part in time attack in foreign lands, and Japan is a fair old trek.

When i spoke to Paul and his wife last week they told me how long it takes to get the car prepped and the work that goes into it, how long it takes to get the car shipped out there and get it back, and how much it costs. Not to mention the expense to get the team out there and the logistics of the whole thing.

It's another performance car competition to add to the many out there, but this really is something a little bit different and that makes it special and important to time Attack fans, so more power to their elbow. Plus i think that a fair proportion of their reputation goes on how well they do in Time Attack, and that's one of the main reasons i went to Zen, although their Scooby expertise is second to none and i think any Scooby nut worth his soul would probably say the same.

While at Zen i saw next years new 2dr Scooby shell minus wings, doors, boot, bonnet etc....ready to be seam welded, on the back of a trailer. The bloke doesn't stop!!! I can't wait for time Attack 2008

All hail the ZEN MASTER :notworthy:

Is there a list of all the results and times ?

Nice to see the FD is still being used on the tracks.

How good does that new GTR look in white (looks like a Mines from the number plate).

To be honest mate I know nothing about Zen and wasn't really pointing any fingers in their direction, But one of those other tuners has had my mates car for nearly a year, To do work that should of taken weeks not months.

I'm not a fan of tuners at all, They do a good job sometime but never ever take responsibility if their work isn't up to scratch or goes wrong, It's normally a case of we have your money now f*ck off we don't want to know :evil: :roll:

They're mostly a bunch of glory hunters in my opinion with a few exceptions here and there :roll: .

But this isn't really the time or place to vent my opinions of tuners so I'll shut the f*ck up

:lol: :lol: :lol: .

Hate to say it but that Evo knocks the Scooby into a cocked hat.

Whatever that means

I do like the way the time attack cars are so focused on the job in hand.
