luckily it is a toyota engine, so nothing has been damaged. Water injection might have helped to save the engine ?

Always wanted a Glanza. Wish they were in my price range.

[zakshaker]

I though they were quite cheap in Japan ?

here is my last inboard video

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ftt9hj80nBc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

finished first in my class (F13) ;)

[Dust]

The Glanza V hold their value well. THe EP82 GTs can be had for cheaper, but last I looked they were hovering about 1999-up Subaru Legacy and Forester price range, and I couldn't bring myself to buy one. They are what the Civic Si should have been.

[Richard L]

Just watched the video, wow. Pretty scary.

Good clear drive. Do you have some videos on loose gravel? I really enjoy rally.

[zakshaker]

Thanks Richard.
No unfortunately there is no gravel event in Mauritius.
Madagascar has nice gravel events on their side

Dust, some civic owners might jump in their seat if they read you, but I would tend to do agree ;)

[MrMartin]

reminds me of c'etait un rendez vous :)

[zakshaker]

camera in front bumper is indeed a classic :)

[Richard L]

I forgot to congratulate on you winning your class win :D

[zakshaker]

Thanks Richard ;)
here is last Slalom Event

Results :
1st class F13
3rd group F

[Richard L]

Wow, this is very exciting video. Vey nice hand brake control.

Is is a year round event?

[zakshaker]

This event is the only slalom which is part of Mauritius Rally championship.
so this is the most popular one, as there is all rally cars of the country (and even few from R?union Island which is 200km away)

there are other clubs who organise slalom events on the side

Last rally of the year : la ronde TOYOTA

I had trouble only (long list); so my only goal was to finish the rally to do few point and keep leadership in my class. (which it seems we have archived, still waiting for championship ceremony to confirm)
