Tarmac Rallying Perpetual Thread

[Marlin]

No, went last year, is like watching grass grow. Cars a SOOO slooooooow.

[Kel]

Just had the Handley/Handley entry confirmed for High Country by Helen.

Now Duncan and I just need to work out if we can sit together in the car that long with me telling him where to go

[Snowman]

Got mine too.

Now I just need to build the car! But I did organise a nice little present for it from Uncle John yesterday.

PP would be well wicked.

If the costs worked out close to what you alluded to, I'd be a starter!

This year was 15k budget for an Aussie, dollar might be better still next year.

TT

Hehe girlfriend and I are worried about that exact same problem!

What did you end up deciding on building Andrew?

[sav man]

I put my Targa entry in today. I now have a job, so the car build is back under full steam

[Snowman]

Another R34. Although I'm not sure "building" is the right word as right now I seem to be destroying it!

[t01-100]

i've always enjoyed the destroying bit... its far quicker to see results than the slow rebuilding process.

the hardest bit i find is explaining to non-car friends why you took a nice perfectly drivable car and pulled it part!... and then once its finshed they ask why you took a nice perfectly driveable car and turned it into a noisy impractical shitbox!!

[Snowman]

Yeah the best part I was finding on the weekend was the "Not having to worry about remembering how to put it all back together again".

It's so much less stress!

[sav man]

pulling them appart is too easy, almost as easy as loosing most of the bolts to put it back together

[Marlin]

Phuck bolts, too heavy.

Zip ties and black Sika is where its at.

[sav man]

Is this Ric's Targa car? http://my105.com/classified.asp?id=16268

[Marlin]

No idea mate, Benson would know though.......

[Snowman]

I don't suppose anyone knows which CSR E85 is allowed under Targa rules?

Is it the Sucrogen Premium E85 or the standard pump E85?

[sav man]

The way I read the rules it's any E85, as long as the 85% of ethonal is from CSR. "CSR Ethonal blend" is the wording from memory.

I'm hoping that's right, cause the Powermax is cheaper than the CSR (now Sucrogen), and uses CSR ethonal

[t01-100]

Ric's targa car doesn't have a tinted rear, wouldn't have a cams sticker on the front guards and he's always has Sparco seats not Velo.

Ric does seem to have a cookie cutter approach to preping FD's, I guess that comes from years of experience building and racing them... would be a good car no doubt either way though... not a patch on the Mazda RX-7 SB specification though

[Marlin]

lol @ SB Spec..... so so , So many lines here but I'm sterring clear SB!
