listen to you all... cos RBs are soooo reliable;)

that RX7 is all kinds of awesome... lambo doors are a bit interesting though

compared to a rotor rb's are reliable lol

can't wait to see the new v12 lambo's howling through the forrest

Hmmmm. Have to compare rotor v RB finnishing rates from targa....excluding crashes of course..... :)

^^^ Hearing you on the lambos. Gotta love the fact there are people out there with big enough cheque books to fund blasting through the bush in those things, and the fact that they are actually willing to do it!!

There's boy racer, BS artistes in Japan too, my world will never be the same, 340 odd hp on a 51 weber, ha ha!

Naturally aspirated and revved to reasonable limits, 8~8.5k or so, probably do a decades worth of TT without a prob. The top line IP ones doing 10.5 to 11 to compete with the V8s will probably end up out a couple times a season. Might want to tame the rear end before doing anything serious with a S1-3, unless you like backing it into the trees too.

If you want to indulge in additional blasphemy, an LFA toy-oda, - short on diffs - and tyres will certainly be an obstacle, would definitely be fun bouncing off the limiter.

these things are only as reliable as the prep that goes into them. rush the build or cut corners and stuff will fail... just like any car, but as there's less tolerance with a rotary than any production piston engine, particularly RB20/SR20 as they will live longer while running hot or leaning out for sure, but that’s just a sign of poop prep if you turn up to a serious event with basic problems like that... the performance that’s there to be unlocked with the rotary engines pretty impressive in truth with weight, efficiency and simplicity all being on another level when you compare it to what else was about in say the 70s or 80s... doesn't make me not want to park another GT-R next to my RX-7 again though.

phunky - would go close, especially with that wicked brown interior!... maybe not the doors, but I think that’s a '81 Le Mans kit on it. shame the rest of it is such a heap of shit.

Those 6 series weigh a tonne don't they?

Woo I was reading over the classic rules last night, and you're allowed to widen the track and use bolt group c style bolt on guards. I can't remember the increase allowed, but i'm pretty sure it was a decent figure.

I've been talking to damo about it for a couple of years. He thinks it's dumb, but I think a XJS (with a lot of work) would make a very compeditive classic. Weight is the big problem though

    • 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.
