Tarmac Rallying Perpetual Thread

[Scradly]

Jones had a comfortable margin in the end, Quinn was disqualified for an "exhaust irregularity"

[Dsturbd]

LOL cheating Queenslanders still couldnt win

good to hear, I beleive he has previously been warned about one or more "irregularities" in prior raliies as well. In my book if its not right you should be excluded, especially if you finish on the podium.

Well done Steve!

[Snowman]

Klark Quinn was also excluded for running a 2.2L engine in his EVO.

It will be interesting to see the fall-out from all of that.

The stupid thing about TQ's car is that other than weight there is no real benifit been found for running the full exhaust systems in these R35's. So there is no real reason for him to be doing it.

A 2.2L in an EVO is a different matter however! I think it would be good to see them crack down on these strokers though as they seem pretty rife through-out the sport.

[fatz]

lol

strokers!

[Marlin]

Hooray, well done to Steve for another win, and I'm stoked to see someone caught with a cheat spec Evo, might fright a few dozen other blokes into complying with the regs now! lol

I wonder what the exhaust thing was with Puppa Quinn, does anyone know for certain?

[Snowman]

It was posted up a long time ago (by the Australian HKS agent who sold it to him no less! LOL) that he was running the full HKS 570 exhaust package.

[Marlin]

Ahhhh, ok. Am I right in thinking he had that on for Wrest Point but removed it for Targa Tas?

[Duncan]

I understand Quinns car ran in exactly the same spec since wrestpoint.

[Marlin]

Nah, no way, sounded way different..... and I hear he was told "don't bother arriving at Targa Tas with that kit on it."

[sav man]

did anyone notice that quinn had a spec-v sticker on his car for Targa Tas? and have you seen some of the cool things Garage Saurus are finding on the spec-v that was never publisized (bigger turbos, bigger throttle bodies, and who knows what else)

Interesting about Quinn Jr, puts a bit of the question mark over other LWR cars.

[_8OO5TED_]

its was so obvious that Quinns car had a modified exhaust, especially when it was basically following Jonesys car all weekend and that sounded like a vacuum cleaner

[Marlin]

Benny, If you entered it as a Spec V, who would have the knowledge base to argue about any of it's specs???? lol

[SimonR32]

lol @ 2.2l evo

i can just see them going "prove it"

quinns car was very loud compared with the other 35

[Brockas]

Benny, If you entered it as a Spec V, who would have the knowledge base to argue about any of it's specs???? lol

The car has to be homologated in Australia before you can run it. Since nobody has a Spec-V here, you can't run a stock GT-R as a spec-V.

Good to see Steve win even when up against a modified GT-R.

Pretty pathetic that Tony Quinn didn't even get out of his car after the last stage to congratulate Steve, when everyone else (including his navigator) did.

I'm pretty sure only Nissan jp know all the goodies on the specv ATM. But as Targa West is a CAMS event the specv trick wouldn't work.

Hmm questionable in general? Yes

Questionable on LWR's part? No

Think back to the last LWR EVO that won Targa/RT etc That was pulled down in protest and found to be std capacity.

I think someone else has had their fingers in the pie there

[SimonR32]

Are the rules for targa tasmania/targa west the same?!?

Would the "exhaust irregularity" of the Quinn car be grounds for disqualification in Targa Tasmania in 2009 (which he won)?

[Marlin]

TT run under AASA, TW run under CAMS, totally seperate ruling bodies.

He was most likely contemplating ending his life " i cheated and still lost , i got nothing "
