there wouldnt be many cars in targa that will do 5 days racing on a $800 engine.

More super GTS-t i say. and a national gtst championship.

and sadly we are loosing one of our gtst to the mainland.

but my daily with now a 3x targa engine is back up and running finaly.

Quite amazing little engine is the much derided rb20 huh, so tough.

A gtst championship would be awesome, Stu, I think it needs to be done. It would create some interest for sure :)

And bring more younger competitors in, which is what you guys want.

there is another white one down here which is a really good car, it's on my05. Might be worth a call to get the price down

nice car but the black one for $14K was an ok price, this one for $26K is a bit harsh. the black one looked like a decent buy I think. like you said it would make a good base.

I had a firm buyer for mine post my last Tugga @ $26.5k..... but I pulled out of the deal coz I had become attached to it.

Yes, I should have sold it. lol

The buyer went on to build his own, whch owes well north of $30k now.

yeah i've no doubt on the cost to build a GTST like that. but it's just what the market will bear. I mean no way are any of us going to get back $100K spent on a big GTR, lucky to get $30K-$40K for one let alone $26K for a GTST with 185kw, a cage and some chinese 17inch wheels (simplification I know).

WHAT?!?!?! I thought we were supposed to get back every dollar!? Fark this for a joke, I'm OUT!

I really don't understand the fascination?

And what is Class 1? "Targa Tasmania Shannon Legends"

Check the list of entries for it (7 minutes behind a Shaaaguar XJS.....);

Nothing to do with the category more the potential this car could have (if it wasn't so overpriced).

Nobody even took a second look at the legends it was a bit of a non-event... It just brough a few has beens back for a trundle.

Maybe if Boris and George had have brought the VW it would have been interesting.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
