You're just hoping its somethin really shitty so we don't beat your stage times hey........

If it's a borrowed car you'll probably beat YT's times

[PHaT MR30]

Is it an Ev...................................

.................

............................. oops, sorry, fell to sleep.

Evo?

Nah you could probably buy 4 or 5 Evo's for the price of this one

Paul Summers old thing?

[sav man]

Ric has got his bus up for sale http://www.my105.com/ListingDetails/tabid/65/p/3/cid/518/id/3860/Default.aspx

Paul Summers old thing?

Nah, just a CS (not that there is a huge difference as the CS has an RS box and clutch)... never seen the track or anything just some old timer in Brisbane that never let it even see 8,000rpm!

[Marlin]

So, here's our 999 jigger! lol

Triumph TR8.... Eddy has driven it, reckons is goes good and turn 'em in 3rd and 4th! lol, I'll believe that when I see it

But, 400 odd horse, under a ton, and revs over 8k. So I reckon it's a bit of alright, especially with a TT fuel card

Should be a bit of fun at spectator points and town stages I hope!

Look at bringing one in from england as a race and rally car.

They are cheap as chups over there I believe !

That they are, and some nice examples on pistonheads too. But I wanted one that was regg'd

[Snowman]

Nice on Timmy.

JA sent me some footage during the week of his last TT with Greg in his Dak Dak and the most noticable thing from the footage is just how awesomely usable those cars are for this stuff. It has to be a good thing. I'm still suprised no-one has gone back and tried one of the new updated TT's as I still reckon they'd be a winner in the right hands. (Because surely by now someone has figured out the electronics!)

[poolheaters]

Well Gav bought the new car (shock horror)... SO exciting times, but not till after Targa.

I heard today that this one is moving garages after Targa, maybe just a coincidence?

EDIT: should have read further, obviously not this car

I am getting old...

[poolheaters]

On a brighter note, only 13 days till we leave for Targa and this is the engine out of Melinda's car as of 2 days ago..

And 1 day ago..

Still a little bit to do then?

[Duncan]

I reckon you'd be doing REALLY well to get the "Showroom" Golf R anywhere near the Sshowroom" Evos that are pumping out in the vicinity of 240AWKW!

really? even in production cars the emo X are quicker in a straight line than the 290RWKW v8s....

[Nee-san]

that car has 270kw in a showroom class ?

How ?

What freedoms are they allowed ?

[Duncan]

i said 290 not 270. only engine freedoms are ecu, cam gears and fuel. turbos must run standard boost which in an evo X is 1.6 bar.

[Nee-san]

Sorry Duncan, I meant the EVO X RS in the my105 link up there.

Its all a bit silly really.

[Duncan]

ahh crossed wires sorry!

[Marlin]

Haha, well, Eddy broke the TR8 doing test launches last night, so, he's off to get a 33GTR today.

[Snowman]

LOL - how long before that one gets broken?

You were probably safer sticking with the GC8!

[PHaT MR30]

This is Eddy, he has no mechanical sympathy
