What would Jesus do?!

Ben, QLD has it easy, much more difficult to get away with anything here in Vic which is what puts me off, and Richard, if I ever sell it it will be in 52387093148091 pieces so it doesn't help too much with that. But it is handy to have...

[Marlin]

Send 'er up then! I'll look after her. lol

Might be easier to swap? Mine's still rego'd in Vic til late next year!

[Marlin]

Phaah!

[Snowman]

Yeah Ben's car is great. It's not a money sucking lemon he promises

[phunky_monkey]

lol

At least yours works Ben! You'll be the one receiving the money hungry lemon in that deal

[sav man]

as long as you keep the gearboxes to ben's car you'll be right

we have trade plates, might save some monies on rego.

[phunky_monkey]

Ahhhh, gearbox woes. Fun fun! I just spent some cash on mine, better hold up now...

[Marlin]

Gearbox woes my butt! Busted 5th on one, that's just wierd, then I was sold a dud one which crapped strait away. Got a good fresh rebuilt one in it now .... me hopes lol

Savman, peirce orf and go crash somethin will ya!

[sav man]

lol, it's not fixed to crash again yet

RAlly rego in NSW is excellent. Yes you need a log book including CAMS cage first, but after that it is $90 per year including rego and can be used for everything I need except dropping the kids off.

more importantly, who else is coming to lake mountain sprint? we are going to take the targa car out for a run

[Snowman]

I'm possibly doing Lake Mountain in April as a Targa Shakedown (if I have any tyres left) but will miss the Jan one as I'll be doing Wrest Point instead.

I did hear yesterday that there is bugger all people entered for Rally Tas in early Feb at this stage though, as most people are opting with either Lake Mountain or Wrest Point instead.

I don't know why it's so difficult in Vic then... Seems like it's the thing to do in all other states. I don't want to be paying $600 a year for a car that will barely see the rd, but I don't want to lose it because I'll never get it back.

LOL, well if i can find a clutch for under $1500 i am going to throw the 33 box in mine....so you can have my freak gearbox that will never give up the ghost. I must have got one of the special ones out of the factory, perhaps my car was an ex Press car

[Marlin]

haha, must have! Either that or you're not the rapist I first thought you were? lol

[Snowman]

Actually Brisby isn't too bad on gearboxes because he prefers to just bounce off of the limiter than change gears

[Beer Baron]

and he uses the reach around shift technique which is not only kind on your lover, but kind on your box too. come on troy, post a vid....

how much power you going to be putting through that clutch? Benno does a a GTR style single plate for under $1500... I have one and its great, you can slip it a bit and its not too heavy etc... I'm not sure what he rates them to, but mine took 260rwkw no problem, I would think you would get 300 out of it pretty safely

[Roy]

Hmm. Nick is the only one to have made a sensible post...so Nick

I want a Nismo twin. Have driven two cars with them and i dont think i want anything else...but will touch base with Ben if by Jan the yen hasnt crashed.

[NickR33]

Yeah I had the Nismo single but it wouldn't take more than 240rwkw... I kept the flywheel and upgraded the clutch to a Benno special... he reckons they deliberately have a really light clamping pressure to get you to upgrade to the twin plate... sneaky bastards

oh and to make up for the serious post here is a dog wearing a toupee...

[Duncan]

all of the targa cars need to run single plate clutch unless the rules have changed (unless the car came with a tripple). which means there are some pretty serious single plates out there lol
