tarmac rallying should only be scary if the crew want to push harder than their event prep and talent allow... if you run your own race and don't be ambitious it’s no more dangerous than super sprinting or hillclimbing without a roll cage in my oppion.

fair comment

I definitely think it has the potential to be more rewarding but it still scares me... if only because I haven't experienced it... I guess if your new to the sport avoiding taking the 'racing line' and just driving as quickly as you feel comfortable in the centre of the road there would be plenty of margin for error... with some of the terrible driving I see on country/coastal roads I sometimes think everyday driving is more dangerous than motorsport!

there is a school of thought that blind rallies are safer as people have to "drive it as they see it" rather than trying to fully commit to corners based on their pace notes. Most of the QRC rounds are blind rallies. Or they were when I used to compete.

Hey a quick one especially for Stu I guess - I just heard on he grape vine that in 2009 all Tarmac Road Rally competitors will have to wear some form of head and neck device.

Any truth to that one?

yeah snowy hans remains highly recommended and always a good idea, but its still a 2.5k spend for a decent setup so still a little steep for most and only arc was being forced to upgrade for 09 i thought.

*sigh* - seems I need to find myself a new Nav for Targa Tas already.

It turns out James' first born's due date has moved from the begining of March to April 15th. Don't ask me how he got that one so wrong. But needless to say he's going to be unavailable now.

Get onto Timmy mate....... he sux, so he's probably available :D

Yep dead right benny, i make cars roll and stuff... but im interested Snowy

Thanks boys. But I think I have found a replacement should James decide its a no-go, but I will try and get everything sorted out in the next few days.

Appreciate the offer though Tim and should further complications arrise I'll be in contact.

But you'll be pleased to know Tim that my Nav just completed his first rally in the right manner.

No worries Andrew,

On that note if anyone needs a Nav for Targa, let me know. I'd love to do it again, probably in a better position to do it now than I was this year.

Preferably in something quick/Modern... say a 34 N1 :P but im not fussy at all :(

Plus my sister is in management at the Federal group so I get a good rate at all their hotels/resorts.

    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated
