dont say that man... i still look up to the Satria R3, one of the best build cars by Proton & R3... and one of the best track performing cars... Cheers buddy !

Hi Yee,

No such thing as shy or not shy. Important thing we are all trying our best to improve on the timings, be open-minded and enjoy motoring.

Never personally sat in an R3 but believe its quite capable to do low 2m50s kind of timing. Not sure if I am right though but I would think it would still be a blast around circuits.

Cheers

yee,
don't la say lousy car, hahah, I had a hand developing that car in 2004. I applaud you for taking it to track, as out of the 150 built, sad to say only about 30% of them are taken to track :hmmmm2:. Sad as R3's intent with that car was for track kakis.

Timing wise, a std Satria R3 posted 2 56 back in 2004, with Faidzil Alang behind the wheel (it's mentioned in the brochure). Nowadays some R3 track regulars claim to do low 2 '50. Of course, pdreams would demand data for proof before believing the times

BTW Guys keep the comments regarding the TTA coming. The organisers want to improve, where we can.

Hello AxxeLL, pdreams, and Faisal: Thank you for all the compliments, i really appreciate it. :proud: what i meant "lousy" was becos it's consider one of the most stock modified and low horse power car running on this Time Attack, as the engine remain untouched at all.

I was quite happy about the timing achieved. Especially during Session 1 and Session 2, when i have to run with a set of Toyo R888 (remaining tread depth bout 1.5mm) on the wet circuit, which initially i don't even have the courage to drive with semi slicks on rainy days. However, when the track dries up, my timing became non competitive. No matter what..I'm always happy with the overall balance of the car.

Hi Faisal: It would be great if you could share a bit more precious information with me, since you're one of the guy involved in the development of the Satria R3. Your info meant a lot to me for my bench mark in future. If i remember correctly, stock timing for SR3 in Sepang was 2m55s as stated in the website. However, may i know when the SR3 was clocking 2m55s, were there any weight deduction being done? or 100% stock showroom condition(even rims and tires are stock)? Because, no matter how hard i tried, I've only able to clock into 2m55s with a R888 and adjustable suspension previously(with passenger), and i can feel the car has been pushed almost to the limit already. After installing a Cusco 1.5 way LSD, together with a Mivec final drive, i only managed to clock into high 2m53s.(timing not in this event)

I'm thinking whether the best timing on "wet" session will be posted, as there are many of the participants missed out the last "damp" session. It will look fair for them, and it can also be used as a record for "wet" timing.

Yeah it was 2 55. my mistake ( 6 years is a long time). The time was done on a stock car, full interior etc but the driver wasn't stock la. R3 works driver, Faidzil Alang alone is worth at least 2 seconds in any car, at least

Anyway this is going way off topic. PM me if you want any info.

Hi Faisal,

Interesting to know you were involved with the development of the R3.

Actually with regards to the R3, I would not demand data because I actually do not know much about the performance of the car. :)

But one who seeks to go faster should look at datalogging to help themselves given how inexpensive simple systems have become. At least my previous colleagues, some of whom were "pool" drivers at the Nurburgring and have help developed some interesting cars such as the IS-F and LF-A believe so.

Definitely, everyone is looking forward to the next TTA.

Cheers

Hi kirayamato,

You are too kind.

A pity I had to go back to Sg as it was turning late and thus missed the much drier session for the TTA. Was looking forward to run at speed with a Spoon ECU.

Hopefully I can do some better vids for Round 2 of the TTA.

Cheers
