Tarmac Rallying Perpetual Thread

[sav man]

if you could find the full specs on the car you could build your own.

[Marlin]

I know where you're coming from cyclone, and I agree, it's not quite within the spirit of the rules IMO.

At least if you went to a Lambo they could actually sell you an LP560-4 Gallardo Super Alphabet. They'd ask of you wanted E-gear or sequential dog box, and would no doubt offer much respect when you specify the S6 doggie

Is this skylines or rotaries Au?

If you are nice to a certain person within Mazda Australia, I'd bet he'd more likely provide the specs, much like he did for previous SPs. Could be wrong, there has been some mention of other than the rally ones being produced......all you've got to do is add the balls of Steve Glenney, to hope to run against things of 2 to 3 times the power.....a commodity in seriously short supply unfortunately.

[PHaT MR30]

mmmm I am confused, Mazda RX8 SP you cant buy but is running, R35 RC you can buy but you cant run it, I dont know how does it work ?

You would need to talk to Allan Horsley the Mazda Motorsports chief about building you one, I can give you his number... but I wouldn't even consider calling him unless you have 6 figures to play with

To be honest watching the RX8 in action and watching numerous incar/knowing steves driving style, it looks like an absolute handful to drive, far from enjoyable. GTSt would be heaps better package

Mate I dont want another chook cooker I have an RX7 SP copy I want to sell as it is. I want to Turbo charge another manufacturers NA rear drive sports car and I have three sold if we can run them, and yes mate build cost well into six figures but its better than being lazy and just buying a squashed combi.

Undoubtedly! No need to worry about vital parts exiting the engine either - if he was even smarter, should've continued with the emo - in-car of the old Nissan bus, from when ever it was, appeared to be armfuls of understeer, but at least it stayed on the black.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/364379-r32-gts-4/

[trez]

Surely you jest Trez?!

just for the lols

Engine out

lol

[phunky_monkey]

mate, if I wasn't engaged we could get hitched. just think. forget double the wardrobe! double the garage!!! plus we are both tall bastards so all our cars would have nice low seats for headroom and legroom. E30M3, few GTRs, your radical. match made in heaven. you pitcher or catcher? lol.

Depends on the day of the week sideburns

But you do make a compelling argument...

[Darkside]

If only the E30 was eligible for Classic.

So for late classic, whats everyones pick of stuff that can possibly be afforded? From the nissan stable its a DR30 Skyline I guess?

Mazda Series IV RX7? Rotor questionable reliability

According to wiki 10 Sierra RS Cosworths were registered in the UK in 1985.... possibly drug money to buy and get parts for....and the RS500 wasnt avaiable til 87 apparently....Would it be any good anyway?

Any other potential wolves in sheeps clothing out there?

[Marlin]

VC or VH Brock

Rover SD1

Bluebird Turbo

Bluebird Turbo

yea the jap spec bluebird with the z18 turbo came with IRS back in it to. maybe a cheaper alternative to building a dr bar the fact they are ugly as sin. haha.

one of the blokes down here built one as a gravel rally car. i think they won there class 2 years running.

timmy has spoken to the bloke that has it in length as im not sure im alowed to make this public knolage.... but he used to have one..... and it was modified..... haha.

[Marlin]

Volvo 240 Turbo?

Robbie Francevic style, very light, good susp etc......

[sav man]

you would need to do a lot of work to the Volvo, my cousin won the last rookie classic in one.

[Snowman]

ZL1 C3 Vette.

And I know Bris would happily be my wingman.
