Show Me Your Racing Machines

[Stupid Toyota]

Looks like a nice pick up. Glad to see even though you went to the darkside, you picked the right car

Yeah, it's always annoyed me that Toyota don't make an affordable small-midsized RWD car.

The last small car was the AE86 and we all know the stigma attached to those cars, plus for a basic mid 80's car they are sickeningly over priced. After that the next step is an IS200 which isn't cheap and the aussie ones have junk engines. Toyota also don't do any RWD 4cyl turbo engines either so you have to convert stuff to get what you want. Bloody bean counters....

It's a shame really, as I think Toyota would have done a good job at it, but they let that segment of the market go.

Oh well, I'm glad that Nissan didn't! I think I'll always have a hankering for an AE86 though...

Here is my 'racing machine'

[zebra]

Nice.

There had better be a clevo of some sort in there

Whats the details of it?

[Big Trev]

Yes, it has a mildly worked Clevo in it, the whole drive train (except diff) come out of our old XD Ute we used to race.

It hasn't been out of 'the box' for too long, so there is still some fine tuing to do, but it is doing 1:45's at Winton.

Still pretty much a basic Falcon underneath, just beefed up suspension - thanks to my good friends at Pedders in Bendigo, brakes are slotted rotors (standard size and standard callipers), with Bendix Ultimate pads.

One of my favourite pictures. The guys at RPM Photography were in the right spot with the finger on the button for this one lol. Kudos to them for this, as it's by far the shot of the year at QR for me.

Smarty... I had wastegate problems so I missed race 1 and had to start from the back in race 2.

I could ask why it is that you only just managed to get under 60sec on the Clubman yesterday at QR too

[phunky_monkey]

Cold tyres do it in the dry

[N1GTR]

Thats an interesting shot, where was it taken?

[Eug]

since we're all doing sideway pics

[phunky_monkey]

Thats an interesting shot, where was it taken?

It was at the old Morwell Hillclimb circuit here in Vic. It's closed down now, but was a lot of fun. It's just a pity you couldn't get any heat into the tyres before a run.
