Tarmac Rallying Perpetual Thread

[sav man]

You should come and help Brisby crew, he wouldn't need to watch as much porn while he was waiting then.

[t01-100]

I think you're right

How many do we need to build for there to be a 'good" class?

Just one... you're in a class of your own Woo!!

[Marlin]

This thread has been a consistent delivery of lols, very impressed

Thinking i might start to Nav, i don't earn the bucks like you blokes, be a fun way to get into it. Plus I'm a good passenger, especially on dirt roads in WRXs ha ha.

I started as a nav for a mate, we had a ball until family stepped in the way. Then I navved for another dude, then he quite it too. I couldn't turn my back on it, so I decided to turn tricks on weekends to help fund it. Kind of painful having to turn Benson away all the time, I told him I don't know how many times that I don't roll that way but he's insistent. Maybe he just sees me as a challenge?

[Marlin]

Hahaha, somethin like that?

BTW, Happy Birthday for the other day mate. I assume you and the wife are back from your trip? Good times?!

[t01-100]

Yes mate, back and full steam into it... big targa season ahead and plenty of teams doing work in the off season and everyone beating on the door.

White Hot, Supaloc, VIP, Just Jap and Yellow Racing to name only a few have all have plenty of work underway.

More new bits arrivng for the RX-7 too, and confirmed my nav while I was away for Rally Tas 2012 too!

Your Nav? Hang on! What have I missed? Can you drives withs gears?

Supaloc, new V12 thing innit? Reading the tests on them, they sound absolutely amazing, a huge leap forward from the Murci, the last actual Italian designed one.

[sav man]

Was speaking to Baldrick on the weekend, and he recons that YT has a new Gallardo, and weeks is running Murci and not the Aventadore. But it's from Baldrick so they could still rock up in anything.

Lolz

But, Big John did get a new Gallardo it turned up during targa this year.

Aventadore, maybe its a hybrid Commoghini?

[Snowman]

Yellow Racing - ZR1??

[Marlin]

Yellow Racing - ZR1??

They went to the States recently and track tested a whole bunch of stuff from Ferrari to Vettes..... not sure what the preference was. I do recall one of them telling me that the Z06 was more suitable to racing than the ZR1. Unsure why though.

[Snowman]

It has to do with the floor. Its that carbon/balsa composite stuff which makes welding a cage into impossible (so you need to bolt plates through the floor for attachment.

[Marlin]

Same for Z06 though. They actually took a car to my mate across the road who does lots of cages (and many of theirs prior), he suggested that the entire car would need to come apart to do it properly (basically make a self supporting steel cage in and undr the car), but they decided to take it away and have it done elsewhere. Not sure of the outcome.

[Darkside]

^^^^ Doesnt sound like the type of car you would ever want to crash in.........

[PHaT MR30]

I think this is how the overcome the paper floor

[Marlin]

How's the steel bar work attached to the alloy extrusion chassis?

[Snowman]

Tek screws FTW!
