Tarmac Rallying Perpetual Thread

[Marlin]

Is all very interesting

Roy, nice choice mate. With the freedoms in Classic you could turn a DR into a good thing

You'll get good money for it if you do well in it. Only if the car is reknown for pace though. IMO

This is Brisby we are talking about here.

If he builds it (1.2% chance of him actually doing it rather than just talking about it!) it will look good, sound great but due to some whack theory he devises he will actually make it go quite slowly.

But it should end up with nice brakes if nothing else.

[Marlin]

Hahaha, I chortled

[zebra]

I just shot bloody hot coffee out my nose you jerk.

[Darkside]

Feeling the love Bris??

You build it and I will drive it.... you seemed happy enough to let me have a crack in the RB20 of awesomeness at Benalia for some nuts....

Does anyone know why the series 8 RX7's were put in catagory 7? According to the RX7 guru's the series 8's are a bit better than the SP, 6, and 7.

[PHaT MR30]

Yeh I thought that was bullshit too, thats like getting an 89 GTR and running it in Cat 7... You just can't do it!

[sav man]

apparently there was some sandy v's higher up in the cat 7 camp about it.

[2pee]

Whole early, early modern and late, early modern split is bogus, when post 86 was modern, life was so much easier! Without any knowledge of whys and wherefores, contention that the addition of late cosmetics, on an essentially unchanged platform, put you 6 or 7 minutes up the road....you gotta say, take the hand off the pud, gurus.

[Beer Baron]

Yeah mate spotted that, but it's a fair way over the odds.

And Benny, no thanks. lol

buy my emo 6 RS. has the CR box (which is awesome for circuit/tarmac etc), has upgraded LSDs front, rear and centre. no gAYC or ACD, strong 200kw, ohlins suspension, TE37s etc. nice and straight and full registered. I'm getting keen to sell too so will move off my high horse!

I took it out to wakefield the other day and even on street tyres (dunlop Z1*) I managed a 1:12 which is bloody hauling considering I'm pretty shit behind the wheel. no ABS though I think (not that I've had any bad lock-ups, would be nice for tarmac though).

they are farking quick and with all the LSds the thing is still a bit hairy and fun to drive. it does have way more grip that it deserves though!

[Marlin]

Oh! So nooooow you want to sell it! lol

[sav man]

Richard your being an enabler! Can you go and sell some crack to some teens instead?

I'm not quite sure who/what you're taking aim at? Care to elaborate? I think you're referring to Series 6 through 8 RX7's?

Let the record state, I for one couldn' give a rats arse about them. Come one, come all I reckon

you been following me again? lol, it's not like i'm adding another emo to the world. just passing one on! wooster is already practically a woman in pants so the emo will suit him to a tee.

[Marlin]

I think it's worth a solid 12 to 14k Lewinsky.......

[PHaT MR30]

How does the VI centre diff work? Is it Torsen?

[Beer Baron]

well in my RS is mech clutch plate for the center LSD, just like the front and rear. not sure what the stock VI has. probably open diff?

all I can say is if I can pilot that car to a 1:12 at wakefield (bear in mind street tyres, 200kw and small brakes), then it's a fking weapon of a car. cause it sure as hell isn't the driver... I can't drive a greasy stick up a dogs arse.

[Beer Baron]

I think it's worth a solid 12 to 14k Lewinsky.......

lol, make it 14K now and 14K on delivery and we are in business. it really is a beautiful little evo.

[Marlin]

Why are you talking down your wheelin abilities Richo?

[Nee-san]

Moar DR pics please...
