WogsRus Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Not sure if Ricky my mate is doing rally of tas, but he recently compleated the mountaind challange 4 day even, came 1st in a couple of categories and then some seconds and some 6th places after the car failed to finish a stage. I have drivven with some hard core drivers, but my mate, i tell you what, you fell like your about to die and then, bang all good again. He definatly drives 11/10 evertime. the quote "If you want to explore the limits, sometimes you have to be prepared to go over them" Is somethign he came up with. LOL. and certainly suits him down to a T. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/150746-targa-tas-07/page/2/#findComment-2806590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sav man Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) Dad and I are sharing the drive of a R33 GT-R V-Spec N1. We have heeps to do, get our licences and fill the entry forms out, get intercom system, do a recce...... What do you do about the licence information on the form if CAMS don't get the info back to you by the entry close off date? Also, are you aloud to get rid of HICAS? and how do I get the 2007 Supplementary Regulations? And we just found out that the LF suspention needs fixing, cause the car had a hit before we got it, and is 15-20mm too far back. Tim: you in beachy's donut king S15?

I went and saw Rosemary Taylor at KT Electronics, she sorted me out with membership to LCCT and what exactly I need to fill out on the CAMS forms, they will issue you with a temporary licence until yours comes through. You have to do a Rally lecture (online) and minimum 2 club days, im gonna try do the club day at symmons on the 4th Feb and depending on when the next one is a kahnacross which ever is available. Don't worry about the car too much you should see ours, we stripped it back to a bare shell!!! And yes im in beechey's donut king car, but not the one that was at the V8's this is its sister car.

We should organise an SAU catch up at Targa - I know things get crazy when the racing is on, so maybe a before event 'SAU do'? Post interest and arrival dates?

Marlin Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Yes it does sound good. Tried for it last year but just got caught up with pre-targa fun... like buying some old bombs and motorcross tracking them with Whitey and crew... lol This year I'm sussing out a navigating with someone else (advertised on the Targa site), so hopefully that'll come off!

PHaT MR30 Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 Hmm im just trying to figure out wether we can't run M3 or not, currently nominated as M2, but have noticed a few cars running M3 which generally fall into a M2 category. If we could run M3 it would save HEAPS of headaches IE with our radiator, sump and wheel size to clear the brembo's. I might have to read it again when im not so tired.

I might have to read it again when im not so tired. Its based on times for the cars acceleration from 0-100km. M2 is cars between 4.8 and 6.8 seconds. S15 200SX was 6.3 according to Motor Mag. The JDM S15 would have been quiker again so don't go there! If you can find three seperate historical magazine or newsapaper articles that publish times over 6.8, get Nissan to confirm they're list time and submit an application to CAMS along with a $55 fee they have a committee in Melbourne that may reclassify. There have so been a few cars that did this - 944 S2, R32 and R33 GTSt. I'm currently working out if its worth doing the same for the RX7... all the early Motor and Wheels say early 7 seconds, but then your stuck with the crap intercooler, so think we'll just run in M2 as an SP (not Targa though as I have a bit on around that time of year!).

EVO mag, 200SX = 6.5seconds... Before I did Targa the first time, I got the most useful bit of information from a guy I propped up the bar with on the spirit prior to the 2002 event. Things have changed a bit, but much remains the same. His advise was "Read the rules mate... then read 'em again & again." "When you think you understand them, chose a car that takes advantage of the rules" Don't turn up with your favourite car, because it may be disadvantaged by the regs. We chose our first car accordingly and it now comes off even better when the rules are applied. So I now call this my advise, because the guy drove a P76, and next time I spoke to him in 2003 he blew me off... probabley because I had just sucked his doors off when overtaking him LOL.

PHaT MR30 Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 Yeh i did read them! just wasn't making much sense at the time, just trying to look for options to use what we have.... which is a small budget It would be nice to have a budget to choose what car to enter, but alas at our age (young and stupid) you don't have such a thing. Maybe in a few years time... You know when I get that big promotion Not in it to win it, just to get a taste of Tarmac rallies (beauty of the rookie rallye). I reckon if we enjoy it, we'll be back next year, and the year after etc maybe one day even in one of those cars that starts with the letter P and ends in an E Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/150746-targa-tas-07/page/2/#findComment-2837482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
