Tarmac Rallying Perpetual Thread

yeah I 'built' one too... cheaply... didn't end well... actually it didn't start well either, had piston slap from day 1 and ended up spinning a bearing while at the top of 3rd at sandown... lasted a while though... maybe it wasn't a good idea to run the stock ecu with speed cut and instead of shifting to 5th at the end of the straight just leaving it in 4th and banging it off the limiter few times.......... oh and oil coolers are for pussies........ ahhh good times

lol

mine was "built" by a rather well known Melb worshop....and yeah..was a sack of poo until it smashed a piston ring to bits at wakefield...kept going though and eventually died on the central coast a week later....400ks from home

MR2's are almost as much of a death trap as the old 911's with the engine waaay over the back

See, I enjoy 911's. But I'd rather stick to my current car to be honest.

Should I let the cat out of the bag and tell you all I'm looking closely at a full race/rally 1978 Porsche Turbo in Europe at the moment? Don't tell anyone

Details pls

Disclaimer: Giving of details may lead to me purchasing it from under you.

that's a bit ghey... I had someone who had never even seen something with overhead cams do the machine work cos they were so cheap... unfortunately they never measured anything so the crank still had a bend in it... lasted an amazingly long time being abused with a banana for a crank

hey is the targa tour considered to be majorly limp wristed? sounds like a fun way of driving those roads without ruining your car or losing your license

am I banned from this section for mentioning the tour now?

[Marlin]

That's why i said Europe and not a country. You can get farked

[Marlin]

Nick is banned from the man's Motorsport section. Suggest maybe you go over to the 35 forum with the other "boyths"

[NickR33]

nah they won't have me... my office chair doesn't have yaw control

[zebra]

hahahahaha...im sure they have 20" rims and unit hats though

Don't make me throw a hissy fit!

I was looking up Euro Porkas for sale last night... hmmmmmmmmm. A LHD GT3 or '73 RS/RSR replica would look nice in my driveway me thinks. Pity I wouldn't be able to pay the bills to run it

[sav man]

you can only go in the tour if you went to school with noah, or can crash a r35 at 10km/h and hide it behind a chicken shed

That is in my list for 2011. I highly doubt my car will make it OS so will be sitting around storage and I think Tasse will be ripe for the bark of a bit of gate and titanium exhaust tunes from RB20

Benny boy, in case you are not stirring and will be looking at a car, I am out of India at end of the month and will be car stuff in Europe in June, so may be able to get pics/videos etc

[Marlin]

Oh snap Benny I can't believe you went there!

LO farkin L

Does this mean I shouldn't wear my UNIT tank top when we go to Townsville Timmy?

Please! wear it! While your at it a pair of cheap Fluro sunnies an bleach blonde hair...

dunno how you go about the pre-pubescent acne though.....

[Marlin]

I am seriously looking mate, in conjunction with a close friend. The car is good, it's me with the mental barrier.

Also, as I'm not at all familiar with the things, my big concern is running it against the known contenders, only to have a protest lodged for something that I wasn't aware wasn't factory or legal.

At least with a Datto I really have no one to blame except myself.

[Roy]

So what was the story behind the R35 binning it? I am sure he wasnt the first to bin it to the Tour???

[Marlin]

Jeez you're game. Corey would beat the SHIT outa you man. He's cool.

Hang on didn't you do the Tour one year?

[Marlin]

Yeah I'm pretty sure he did

[sav man]

Hang on didn't you do the Tour one year?

yes me and dad did the first tour. Dad apparently was told that you could drive though the stage, but would be kicked out if you went too fast. By the start line there was a sloow tour leader.....it was a trap....a cold wet trap as the gt40 leaks like a siv

The tour in Rally Tasmania is heaps better, Cody Crocker was Tour leader and everyone was having a dip... for a bunch of toffy lipped geriatrics in porsches.
