LOL

Can we make a FWD class? It'd seriously be awesome. I'd have no chance against you though, so maybe not :thumbsup:

Yeah, well, just bein honest lol. For a car I wash weekly and depend on to get to work, I'll take the scenic route around the wangs thank you!

I don't reccommend taking in the scenery on the wangs, it can be an expensive holiday :cool:

haha i was there only for the style points :thumbsup:

Next deca dont worry :cool: Ill bring the proper tyres haha

oh no i am so scared :yes: although the next DECA will be during uni exams so will have to be August DECA or NDSOC/FPV deca...

It's turbo ;)

But OMFG, well done to Marcus and Clive.

oh, well in that case he is disqualified from NA class... how about the 180b datsun? is that NA or is it running a CA/SR turbo?

If we make a FWD class then I think there should be a class for NA RWD cars over 1500kg too...

Firmans 180b is now turbo.

We could always have a boat class... 330's, supras, R33's, commodores.... :)

What a great day in the history of the automobile !

Shitty Teins which are not as good as Bilsteins blah, blah, blah, lowly std RB20 with about 1.5bar up it, lowly rwd and no ass tickling, homo controlled awd system...well done Russ, finally someone with some talent rather then space cadets who are NASA rejects wins at DECA ! :)

LOL I could tell, you seemed to be making good use of your good leg to drag yourself around instead of using the hand wheels!

LOL thanks buddy, although lots of people were going to push me around on the skidpan i didnt get the oportunity :(

How the hell did you fit a 6 cylinder in there?

Mitsubishi fitted a V6 into the lancers in the late 90's i have serviced and driven one from a guy who works at Bosch in Clayton. Its a imported CE 4 door sedan, FWD, and yeh has basicly a non mivec 2litre v6

Firmans 180b is now turbo.

i was going to say congrats russ on the effort but you just called a commodore a boat, funny the first time i drove a skyline i thought i needed a boat license. i'd take a VL over a R31 any day on that topic but hey thats me :)

oh just wait i can see response's and i don't care this is my opinion and you didn't ask for it. :huh: it's a forum so :yes::D:P

Congrats Russ! Well done mate, and well deserved to a top bloke and awesome driver - way to represent the RB20 community! Wish I could've come down to at least spectate, but had to work and in addition got some new tyres I didn't want to mince! Might've had 4 R32's in the top 5 otherwise :)

I have to say after that day I am very tempted to go buy an R32. Not only did they perform awesomely (I told you on the day Russell that when I was timing your car literally shot out of the gate like it wasn't on a skidpan) but they looked and sounded amazing.

Only thing deterring me is their age and my lack of mechanical expertise, still I am tempted.

Yep but I've owned just as many commodores and falcons as skylines. Much prefer to drive my 'boat' around than my skyline. :D

Shame Russ shame :)

If I could make 300 with an RB20 you know it'd stay in there!

i was more refering to r31's, never driven a R32 on the road just on and off hoist's and parking, im going to try not touch the whole owned cars bit, iv'e only owned 1 falcon (crushed it after 2 days) and 1 R33 which i resold a month later, but ive driven my fair shair of cars and then some as a mechanic :O

maybe i should enter my work ute next time and write "BOAT" on the back instead of "milk, bread cookies and cream" like whats on my silvia

:P

for some reason i can foresee alot of R32's at the next deca

oh i almost forgot, random note i almost bought a R32 gtr before i bought my silvia lol

clives result is damn good, didn't think the lancer was that quick. hopefully you ll be able to sort out all the bs with the engine builder and get the evo back on the track.

do you have a thread about the lancer, interested in all the work that's been done to it.

good day, interesting results.

Good to see the results. Congrats to the winners!

Have to say I'm pretty impressed with the old VL turbo. Once I got Ryan to actually try and drive quick (instead of rip[ping skids and drifting!) he didn't do to bad. Now he's got to fix the rooted lsd, and rear suspension bushes. The clunk in the rear was pretty rough haha! I reckon there's a lot in it yet!

Thanks Peter.

I haven't started a thread on the CE because the EVO is supposed to be the competition car, but it will be running again at PI this Saturday so hopefully it makes it through the day without incident.

I have been promised by the workshop that the EVO engine will be finished BEFORE the end of April so should be back on the tracks after a couple of thousand kms for a run-in and a re-tune.

Either way I will have a Lancer of some sort at the next DECA and most of the WRX/SAU track days this year.

      My BMW 335i

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
