Premier State Rally Special Stage, 6pm 4/7/03, Eastern creek


Recommended Posts

Yeah... and the drifting effort was pretty poor through turn 2... I spose they were going for lap times... and backwards around the track... but shit... they are FRIGGIN RALLY DRIVERS...

Would have been good to see the gravel stage... so what if it has turned to a mud stage due to a weeks rain???

Pete was drunk I say...

benm I called the 04gotskank number and geez it sounded like Tosh on the other end.....

Yeah it wasn't too spectator friendly. The one I went to in Canberra at the stadium a few years ago was great.

It would be great to see something similar at Homebush.

Hmm, can you say uuunnndddeeerrrsssttteeeeeerrr..

some of the guys that were running soft compound rally tyres were having heaps of problems on the skidpan. The guys with the bigger budgets / tyre sponsorships were running a road based tyre, so they seemed to fair better (stage times showed this too)

I was pissed off that they canned the gravel stage, (we had a great media point scoped out) but I had a look at some sections and seriously, the track was really bad.

Lucky for Cody that they gravel section was canned as originally the service after the first Tarmac run was a tyre change only, but as they ran the tarmac stage twice instead, they made it a 20 min service - so he was able to change his gearbox.. (well, his crew was able to anyway :D )

lol yeah I don't think I've ever seen a rally car understeer before :confused: :bahaha:

I guess it's fair enough about the track. Damn Sydney weather...we don't get any rain for months when we need it, then this. :D

    • That would be interested if it's the case as seems like it would make the job a lot messier but subaru sells OEM gaskets so seems it might of had it.
    • Fuel tank is out. Looks pretty bloody good under (ie above) the fuel tank.  Amazing how good the factory e-coat holds up in the hidden areas.  No where near as much body deadener to get rid of as the front but still not looking forward to it!  Shit of a job.  I'm thinking I might grab a needle scaler and give that a go before I attack it with the angle grinder and wire wheel which is how I did the front 2/3's of the car.  Feels good to be working on the car again but who knows how long it will last!  Hopefully I can get it further forward than where it was prior to this last block of work when I decided to go back 10 steps further down the rabbit hole from where i already was! The problem is, I'm realising how hard it will be to repair and paint the bumpers, which cannot be put back on the car, and have a good paint match. There are also areas where it would be VERY hard to hide the new paint where it transitions from old paint. Like this- There is only one way to do that perfectly and I really dont want to have to do what that means I would have to do... 🤦‍♂️
    • Pretty sure the factory assembly doesn't have any gasket at all, just RTV.
    • I will get a couple cans for sure thanks, I do have 2lt fish oil to spray around the car already.
    • Thought I’d post pics of the packages for those interested. The premium package is #16. Remote start, security with tilt sensor and remote and backup battery, auto fold mirrors and door illumination.    Can post up pics of all the factory options and images from the factory options brochure if people are interested. I have all the dealer books etc for all rv37 models.
