Evocoop Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Thanks mate I spoke with Russ earlier about sharing his evo5, but he suggested we both use the R35...... navigate alternately for eachother. So we're in with a chance Excellent. That's good news Ben. I hope you can make it.

N1GTR Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Bloody hell, 7 rolls over - as long as he's ok! Quick question though; why would you run a spec c rex, or a type RA etc over a normal STi in Targa - they're all the same mechanicals arent they? Unless some JDM models get a significant HP increase...

sav man Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 i know the ra has better diffs, a short ratio box, and is lighter. pretty sure spec c is the same as the ra Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/228058-tarmac-rallying-perpetual-thread/page/35/#findComment-4428742 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good time had by most by all accounts, Kel, good stuff Great to see Quinny through for a win too Someone who's spec C didn't finish the event too flash ; Rolled big time, 7 to 8 times, crew ok I will have to find my carnage pics and post! There was plenty of it, especially on Savage which should bring back memories Benny Anyone who came off this weekend didn't do it by halves that's for sure. And thanks for the congrats- I had an awesome weekend and was just happy to finish - top 5 was a bonus. It was brilliant to see Quinny win - he fought hard for it and deserved it, especially considering he is running a relatively 'undeveloped' car with road tyres. Better get your finger out and get that 35 ready for Targa Tas Russ PS: Hats off to Timmy- teh master navi!

PHaT MR30 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Yeh how rediculous was it that they continued the stage even after that mazda crashed in a big way and was taking up 3/4 of the road. And the fact that the crew were standing on the outside of a corner carrying on like headless chickens it was enough to startle you! I can definately say my weekend was probably one of the more interesting ones, I learn't ALOT over the weekend and met ALOT of great people. Kel your a champ! and a caring one at that! It was a worthwhile experience and I think I taught my driver alot in the three days, so hopefully it helps him in further rallies. It felt a bit weird being the master as opposed to the apprentice. Im looking more and more forward to Targa and futher rallies this year and hopefully some good news!

t01-100 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 What is AASA? Austrailian Auto Sport Accosiation? All i really know is CAMS because all the events up this way are all cams events.There is no way my car will meet the M2 catigory at all cause it fails on about 10 criteria for being over modified but i'm told by Some people i've talked to that it'll probably sneak in under PRC rules which the event is also open to. I'm not a hundred percent sure that mine will pass but we'll see. They have let a few small curly ones slide in the past..... I sent Russ a email the other day to see if he'd be keen so hopefully he hasn't commited to anything else that weekend. Be good to have the RGM boys back up for another event. Otherwise anything I can do to help people make the journey up to Townsville possible, just let me know. The GTR doesn't fit the criteria for PRC and it'd be a dog with restrictors, but who cares... in the interest of getting the event off the ground eligibility shouldn't matter too much anyway. What’s the entry fee? I'm keen to sending either the Evo or RX7 north during 2010 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/228058-tarmac-rallying-perpetual-thread/page/35/#findComment-4429338 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kel Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I answered my own question on the GPS @ rally tas btw tried it on the first leg, realised it was just a distraction, and left it off for the rest of the rally (didn't even use it on the touring stages) but then i also had to go through my notes after leg one and delete any distance call less than a 100- we were going so quick i barely had time to get the shorter distances out before needing to call the next corner!

Targa Tom Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 hmmm think i better sort that one out!highest bidder? Chicane on Yolla was a little open, but they are something to drive by eye... didnt see any problem. The place ment of bollards meant the roads were very clean... good thing. Broken pass mirror - not so good LOL. I am glad they didn't stop Savage east for the mazda... it was no worse than the escort or jag. The guys were a little excited, but that meant you could see them. We get all the road and they had only blocked one lane. Great little event... and one we will do in the future.
