Nick la.. dont be like that. Cant a guy research? :cool:
Did you watch the Spoon Fit that was on the VTEC club DVD? Hehehe.
Petrovski did 1:20.xxx with aftermarket suspension and fender braces.. it was only his first time at Wakefield, so I'd say doing 1:19 is definitely feasible.
And there's no problem removing the rear seats it takes about 30 seconds to remove.. actually I drove around like that for ages, I don't think you'll run into any trouble unless you try to sit passengers in the back ;)
The spacesaver tyre and tools is ~20kg, and the rear seats are 30kg.

Yeah in GT4 when you do stage 3 weight reduction and get the full roll cage with heavily modified super lowered suspension then alot of cars are too rigid. Can't put a full roll cage on a still street legal Jazz in NSW but even if you could the suspension and tyres would be the factor wether it still handled will a really stiff chassis.Quote:

i was jst curious as to what u can do to a jazz to make it handle well.
I have been on Wakefield in my totally stock Jazz (CVT) and my fastest time was 1m20.916seconds.
It was my first time there but will go back sometime in 2006.
I left all the seats incl. the front passenger seat, and the spare tyre and its jack at home (to reduce the weight ideally).
The day I was there, Pete and Andy were there and they're times are identical to what I got. With a bit more lap practice, a Jazz ideally could do sub 1m20's!
pete's 1:20.xx definately could have been improved on.
1. first time out
2. he had full interior (not like the other jazz drivers there :P)
3. had a tow bar!!
4. had me sitting in the passengers seat! :rolleyes:
personally i belive that if he went back again with a stripped out car he'd be able to do 1:19's or even a high 18
1.18!!
wow that would be an outstanding time for a stock jazz..
so he's car is completely stock? no sways or anything of the kind?
must be a crazy driver :D
pete's car was slightly modified in the way of coilovers, and some bracing/braces. Other than that the car was std, even wheels/tyresQuote:

yes absolute nutcase of a driver! very fun to be in with though! for the next 4days had a sore arm from holding on so much (or i'd be flying all around the car!)
funny (or bad) thing was i think there was a Fast Fours journalist down there, cause in teh next FF they had something about a wakefield track day put on by these guys. They had an interview with a sklyline driver and a driver of a 250kw cordia.
Both which we happened to have lapped MUCH quicker than! i would have thought a jazz pulling the times we did would attract much more attention :)
I'd agree to that, Pete's car would have easily broken the 1m20 if he did some weight reduction. And 1m18's is not out of the question either!Quote:
