mine is set up for the hills, ive got the opposite problem to you, mine just does open wheelers around corners, if i go to hard. really should fit an LSD.

what hills rd's in adelaide you go to, my favourites are gorge rd, greenhill rd, mt lofty summit, eagle on the hill rd, windypoint and blackwood rd, upper sturt rd, norton summit rd. lol im in the hills heaps.

here is my dodgy car cam on mt lofty summit rd. the microphone is not good probably best to turn your sound down. im not going very quick because its day time and most of the roads were busy. *no speed limits were broken*

you can see that the car sits fairly flat around the corners though.

also roads from adelaide- to setrling, to balair is good,

start at migill road go through summertoen then uraidler harndourf down the freeway

head to lonsdale then make it to okebank not via balair though.

springbank road

there are heeps around, only problem is if you run into a cop at 330 in the morning there going to pull you over to ask what your doing in the hills so late, as there are alot of break ins up there and cars get stolen, so becareful and your always just droped a mate off and your going home to watch movies

mines set up for highway im mostly on the sturt highway traveling to coober pedy all the time thats why am into top speed stuff, always been into the speed not so much for going around corners unless drifting is involved which i mite add falcons are good at it.

Mine's a daily driver, but I also like taking it through the hills. The T5 is suited to hills and twisty roads. Shame the suspension isn't! If you want to see how stock suspension handles around twisty roads, just follow me and watch the bodyroll!

daily, with some extra oompf!

oneredED · 23-12-2006, 11:42 AM

Daily driven, but I'd ideally have it setup for sustained high speed stability/cornering (200+) and with a high ratio 6th cog to keep revs down (sitting on these speeds for a 5-20 minute stint chews through fuel). Probably going to change a couple of things for drifting early in the new year though.

Same here, except I like the cornering at top speed as well
