    Default Tarmac issue#04



    I just bought this magazine, after buying the first 2, and I don't buy magazines much.

    They test Neil Bates current S2000 Corolla on a racetrack, vs stock corolla. (A poor comparison I know). You can't help being a little impressed with Niel Bates Corollas over the years (but... so much money is thrown around). I love to look in the cabin, and I am always a bit influenced about building racecars when I do, especialy being sort of close to building my 86. Quite a few pics in the magazine.

    I got to have a very good look at the group N(p) cars, the turbo ones, a few years ago. I havn't had a look at the S2000 in person, but told it sounds good. The article mentions VVT is removed to the the rules (but maybe silly to retain anyway).
