Tarmac Rallying Perpetual Thread

[PHaT MR30]

Bit like putting an evo round a telegraph pole on kayena?

Still haven't figured out how he did that...

[Darkside]

^^^ No idea Timmy. Although i did have an odd moment in my old evo VIII MR with full electronic talent in the wet where it got into (or I got it into.... I was being a knob ) a big slide then it unexpectedly gripped up while still very sideways and shot off the track in the direction it was pointing. One reason I am not a fan of too much electronic talent. It can do strange things sometimes which I guess it believes are in your best interests but might not be.

Speaking of lack of electronic talent, I was at a mates post wedding bbq a few weeks back and as you do... end up in the shed!

Wow, his Rx7 has some cool stuff on it.. IE four link, Harrop adjustable sway bar, watts link, floating hubs with adjustable camber. Pretty much the whole rear end was very tasty. Engine bay was looking pretty tasty too, I guess thats why he has been IP state champs a few years in a row.

There was no less than 5 rotors in the shed, imagine the noise

Timmy,

would love to chat to him. Have just orderd a modified hilux diff with full floating hubs/axles with camber and toe adjustment and 2 piece brake rotors....and with 32 GTR brakes so there is something nissan on it. Allegedly its the same gear Miedeke runs in his Perana.

But be keen to hear anything about the rest of his setup that he is willing to give away. No point reinventing the wheel.

Can I use this as my excuse for those couple of times I went bush in your EMO too?

[Darkside]

^^^^ No. Your excuse for that was you had sipped one mouthful of beer, and as you warned me, your super skills go to shit after any alcohol. Note: this was on a drive home from Collie not on the track itself. We arent that silly... Drinking while driving on the road is fine right??? All the electronic talent in the world couldnt save you from the understeer of fail you experienced through that right hand turn.

[Snowman]

Not that one The actual off field one at Collie in the wet!

I was going to add the one at AHG to the list but I've remember that was in the TME when you tried to kill me with the tyre fail!

[Snowman]

PS - drinking and driving is fine!*

*When in Germany, and driving a Volvo at 200km/hr with Troy in the car

[Darkside]

^^^^ 200??? Your exaggerating again. Looks like 190 to me. But a volvo. What could possibly go wrong.

I am sorry my evos keep trying to kill you. They can probabaly smell the GTR on you. Although the evos tried, if this RX7 comes together, it just might succeed given your love or RWD cars.

[Marlin]

You've got farkin hairy fingers Richmond.

[Snowman]

It got to 200! (The picture is too blurry though - because it took around 10mins to get from 190->200 and by then Bris was too drunk to hold the camera steady)

And Wooster - go look in the mirror mate

[paulR32gtr]

Hmmm looks very interesting indeed.

[blackrex]

If it has a speedo anywhere near the same accuracy as my wife's Volvo, then you were only doing 150 at the most...

[Neil]

Just wondering if any of you guy's have a CAMS tarmac rally log book yet and if you do what category did you apply for. I'm thinking I should go with 3CRCO (Rally Car Other) but would love to know what others have done.

Cheers

Neil.

[sav man]

I'm planning on logging mine as a sports sedan. Dad's GT-R was log booked as a 3E...but that was back in 99

Tassie championship looks good, i'll be keen to do it

[paulR32gtr]

Yes - and I wasn't sure exactly which one I should be applying for so I just wrote Tarmac Rally - they gave me 3CRCO

[Marlin]

Wait, what?!?! Am meant to be updating my car's CAMS log book?!????!?
