Tarmac Rallying Perpetual Thread

[Marlin]

I would rather eat a fresh dog shit than run a 33.

See you friday Savman, lets see if you still call me a homo then? Atomic wedgie for you.

Nick, I'll keep it in mind. I'm struggling with the idea of it at the moment.

And a dash that doesnt look like you are sitting in a VN Commodore

I didnt think 33 Gtst's were elligable though?

R33s have bigger centre consoles for all the boiled lollies and roofies for courting 12yr old girls!

lol it worked for me...makes you feel like a man

[Marlin]

Yeah they are Andrew.

A couple have been run before. No one having a real crack though. There's no reason why a 33 wouldn't be good, but personally I have doubts over the 25's ability to run six days with a sik amount of knock and ping like my 20 did

[PHaT MR30]

All this talk about S6/7/8 RX7's, I really didn't like the pedal arrangement, felt cramped and very offset. plus i think from memory the wheel wasn't central to the seat or something? Uncomfortable anyway.

Lets talk FWD... Lol! I reckon Snowman should get back to the idea of a Scirocco or Gti-R Golf or something.

Fact of the matter Damo is they aren't going to move the categories again while certain rear engine $6 figure cars are winning so comfortably, So I can't see the R32 being a "classic" until atleast 2025. By that time either none of us will be Tarmac rallying and therefore not give a shit, the world will run out of oil and we will all be racing in retro hybrids/electrics, or between you, savman, Benny and Roy you will own the last remaining GTSt's in the world and be running your own one make series.

Go figure

you'd need to do a heap of oil control mods to keep oil out of the cam covers and catch cans too.

Funny how the R33 is a better car, but no one wants to be seen racing in one

I wish I knew that...I wouldve kept my high flow and stuff and built the car around that...I guess standard turbos are cheap and easy to fit.

But yeah It would need decent internals in the 25...and not a dirty 30 that im building...might keep the 25 for a rainy day and have a read through the regs.

Cos they are the Commodores of skylines, every wanker with a UNIT hat drives one

[Marlin]

The 32 GTS-t can hold it's head up and compete in the Early Modern category.

Can you imagine how much different it would have been this year if I was back there with the Plough?

That's right lads, if I hadn't of crashed or broken it, and had somehow retained the world's best navigator, I would have smacked you senseless.

I dont have a unit hat...nor 20" rims...but I do indeed wish I had a 32 instead of the boat

[Marlin]

Does this mean I shouldn't wear my UNIT tank top when we go to Townsville Timmy?

[Roy]

MR2s The few i have seen done correctly have been great track cars!

[zebra]

I'd rekon the 3s would go bang before a 25 would

[Marlin]

I would rather a wart on my dick than an MR2. Every time I've come across one on a stage it's either spinning like a top or already backwards into a tree.

Stick to ya roots Roy.... front engine, rears wheels drives.

RB25 definitely harder to keep alive than a RB20... I should know I had to rebuild my old one twice... good cars if you can get over the whole 33 'stigma'

plenty of bad 32s around too... and don't even get me started on 34 drivers;)

Im on my 3rd one in 3 years....so far a 200 dollar stocky bottom end is doing better than my (and I use the term loosly) "built one"

[Roy]

What? Dumped in a trash can at a bus terminal? I am trying to forget that part of my life

[sav man]

MR2's are almost as much of a death trap as the old 911's with the engine waaay over the back

[NickR33]

yeah I 'built' one too... cheaply... didn't end well... actually it didn't start well either, had piston slap from day 1 and ended up spinning a bearing while at the top of 3rd at sandown... lasted a while though... maybe it wasn't a good idea to run the stock ecu with speed cut and instead of shifting to 5th at the end of the straight just leaving it in 4th and banging it off the limiter few times.......... oh and oil coolers are for pussies........ ahhh good times
