Benson's ignoring my calls and emails..... so i think it will likely be my first targa no-show in seven years.

I have a 1988 Corolla SR5, it's yours if you rally it LOL.

would only take us two or so days to "prep" it.

Change f**ked CV

Change f**ked shocks

Glue down dash mat.

Add TRD sticker.

lol.... well, I have it now!

I probably won't stick it in right away as I'm severly lacking in motivation these days, but it's there if I decide to.

you should have just bungged another wrecker motor in and kept racing. it gets depressing thinking that you could be out there racing but cbf rebuilding a whole car.

mines beenabout 9 months the seccond time around. id rater a going car in my shed any day.

That was the plan initially, but the wrecker motor I bought turned out not so flash, so decided to rebuild one from two. It hasn't been expensive, I've just had a lack of room, and as you know, pushing dead cars around soon becomes annoying and they go under a cover.

That Corrolla SR5 sounds well wicked..... the AWD is it's saviour, could give those dirty Emos a run I reckon!

Closey would know, I heard he LOVES rock hard......... oh, never mind.

Followed the tug boat captain[i know but its all the same] on a few transport stages when he had that VW. He was only on the road when he hit it... I remember at 150kph watching and saying to the Dr. dont think I would like to try to hustle in one of 'em.

Would like to get someone on the shox we run in the cup car[when on D03] for Targa. Travel, droop, and all things unheard of...

Couple of things to watch for, One is a great little incar gadget that lets other cars know when you stop on a stage - cant wait for that to be incorporated. I makes a Rally Safe.

Dunlop has a new tyre for club guys on the horizon too... Less $$$ with out a huge drop in performance.

Not long now...

Hey BW. You can always come and give me a hand with service. No money, but would be good craik.

On other news our Gravel EVO 9 is back from getting tuned at MPC. just fiddly bits to do now before first round on the 19th.

Making some good power considering its running a restrictor. Antilag and Launch are very phat too :P Im actually scared to think how quick it will be on gravel comeing from a sprinkler!

Almost looking more forward to running in it than Targa!

Ah, you in with the fish f*>(er lol. I did a dash blank so he could plug up that hole... something about previous owner and hair dryer??? ;)

Only 1 sec a lap slower than d03's round Symmons I hear. should be good for club sprint at superlap.

Bring some CCTV gear to monitor your cars at night people. If SMAUG needs parts your cars WILL be stripped in a beer fueled haze of shenanigans! :) Meh, even if it doesn't need parts its always fun emptying a catch can under someone elses car only to see that car's owner sh1t themselves and spend hours trying to find the leak before "attempting" to turn over their car :)

Well I was going to wait till Dunlop at least got the test report/data

Yes, It definitely has the racing pedigree over pretty much anything out there ! LOL.

Look as it sits their majestically !

hmm I saw the Stevens emo on a hoist with no engine today.

if they dont get that car back together who will be in charge of cutting corners and bringing crap back onto the course?

quick up date on the rx-7 - the cost of the motec has now exceeded the purchase price of the car and it's not nearly finished yet!

...looks flash though, and thats the main thing!

i always miss you, anyhow. talk to you at targa.

im not suprised with the motec pricing. im surely going to upset a few people but in my actual experiance with motec i dont personly like them. im just a hater thoe.

i think bens going to cage out my 4 door to run targa now. its heaps nicer, comfy and quieter than the race car.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
