Yes there are a couple of places on the canterbury plains but otherwise not so much and the desert road in the north island is heavily guarded by police. There are always stretches of a few km perhaps dotted all over the place. Not like in Australia, "please carry enough fuel - next town 600km".

Got that escort redline keeps the cops at bay. The south island is buggered from earthquakes the roads may be straight but they aint flat. Anything over 200 is bumpy af and 250 plus is too disconcerting....

Always interesting to hear how others do.
I don't generally like speeding, but in this car it's a) easy b) enjoyable and c) those Nevada roads are just asking for it. Won't be turning it into a habit, but it was fun to play.

Some "interesting" developments, won't be getting into it too much until I cut some more video.
But currently I am readjusting flares and giving the car to some very talented folks for a fancy little sum sum on the 13th.
Also heard from ECE, looks like they've developed a softer insert kit and I might be getting one to test out! This is wonderful news for everyone.

Love this thread. Are those flares metal? Looking for something just like that....

Interested in hearing about the softer ECE engine mounts.

On a somewhat related note, if you guys liked the sunny tune from the video, it's from DJ Dashcam who will be mentioned again in a subsequent episode.
Give him a follow on Soundcloud:
