Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
These Evo 8 FQ 400 are some cars to go, do they stand up to trackday abuse ?

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
On the subject of EVO 8's then I think they don't do well on track. Cooked brakes and my clutch only lasted 6 months from new.
Didn't TG do that thing with a Ford escort and the 400 to show its turbo lag?

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
Is that a P4 or a P3 Andy? I can never tell the difference.
Probably the most beautiful prototype endurance sportscars ever (sorry Porsche)

Re: my non-Porsche picture of the day
think that was the earlier FQ430, which was even more mental but impossible to live with.. the FQ400 was supposed to address the issues, but i dont think its better by that big of a margin!gridgway wrote:On the subject of EVO 8's then I think they don't do well on track.

theres a guy on the next street from me who has an FQ360 or something, and I was chatting to him a while ago. he did a track day in his and wasn't that impressed; as you said, the brakes cooked, although it was frickin' quick out of the corners and on the straights. totally murdered tyres; he went through two sets of R888's in a day!
they're fast, but by the time you finish modding the brakes to bring them upto scratch, you've spent a lot of money.. ..factor in the running costs and they're probably no cheaper than an R34 skyline to run

It's a 330 P4 James - I don't think any (original) P3's exist any more.
Definitely agree on it being possibly the most beautiful car ever built - I remember seeing one race at Brands Hatch back in the '80's when it was rumoured to be worth ~ £8 million.
The driver wasn't holding back & the sight/sound of it was unbelievable ...
