Excellent! lol

[t01-100]

So whats everyone think of the AASA thing?!

[sav man]

Just read my email, nice and cheap . I like the copy and paste job of the CAMS tarmac regs too

I havn't gone through all the doco, are we still following the CAMS camera mount specs?

Also I see Glenny is in this year, he should be in with a show if he dosn't distroy his tyres.

yeah the plan is to maintain the regs as much as suitable as they were actually the targa regs before they became the tarmac rally regs anyway.

minor tollerences included though are optional radiators and oil coolers are back in, 15% tollerence on exhausts so off the shelf products can be used and thats about it from memory.

camera rules remain the same as they're a saftey issue, but include the sub-100gram non metal cage tollerence on lip stick and light weight cameras.

[sav man]

So does that mean we can run a 80.5mm exhaust? (15% bigger than 70mm)

AASA taking over the south! Terry will be out of a job soon!

[Marlin]

Great stuff

Bodes well for the future of TT I say!

[Marlin]

So, Quinny's "borrowing" the 34 for Rally Tas (starts today). Hope he keeps it nice and straight, don't really feel like a rushed repair job close to targa.

should be safe, he only prangs on Targa Day 5. The car was on the news last night.

[WogsRus]

We are out, car only just put together after last years accident, 1/3 of the car has all new panells. Engine still in development, should be good for Domain Hill climb and the Mountain circuit challange.

Bit of a contra deal re Deano being part of the VIP Petfoods 24hr @ Nurburgring in Quinny's Porker.

From Mumbai - India: Oh my goodness gracious me...

Competition is always a good thing and I think that also applies to motorsport administration. I will miss some of the CAMS officials, but there are a couple who wouldn't get a job picking up trolleys in coles car park that I will NOT miss.

Benno - all someone has to do now is lobby for "adjustable camber plates" and it will be perfect. I think the 15% rules makes sense too. People want to here race cars as well as hissy production cars.

Ah well back to work, then off to Nigeria - UK - Holland and home... not ideal preperation, but better than none at all.

SO repeat after me "Camber plates are OK... common every one, I cant hear you

Congrats SB/MP & crew

We don't need ajustible camber arms, N1 arms = 3.2 deg neg . So repeat after me "we'r not helping any stinking EVO's" . A lot of the feild would benifit from them though, the EVO's in GTP seem to have heaps of camber.

[Duncan]

lol evos are too quick already. any more help and they will be able to catch skylines

GTP/3E requires standard arms like targa, but they do allow mounting points to be moved by up to 25mm.

edit cancel that i forgot evos run struts right? strut tops are free in 3E

[PHaT MR30]

So whats considered a "standard" arm? Nismo do a range of arms in their catalogue for most models... Aren't these considered options?

[sav man]

pretty sure that option suspention parts arn't allowed

[Marlin]

Hmmm, I'll ask. Maybe get some interest

Is anyone here a confident Nav and willing to tip in some cashola (amount undetermined at this stage but alot would be great ) to sit beside me in the 34 for Targa?
