They are a good handling car (for their weight) Im sure with all the luxo stuff pulled out they wouldnt be all the heavy.

Edit - 1750kg in road going form

and a tasty pic

Another edit - the Group A Jags weighed in at ~1400kg

So similar weight to the Commodores/Mustangs/Falcons/Camaros etc that would run at targa

Yeah Timmy's right. You've been able to put 100m guards on MS cars for years. Not 100% sure if the proper Group C guards on RX-7 are within 100mm, but I understand the Commodore Group C guards are slightly more, so to get the right period look for these cars the rule will be expanded to say something like 100m, or those used in regonised championships are acceptable... this will overcome the issue with some other cars currently doing this anyway.

You can already run the front bumper and wing under the aero rule.

They aren't that bad, here is a clip of my mates IP RX7 at Bathurst

Why the F@#k can't you embed?

the RX7 in front doesn't seem to have any issues with torque... it just frys them off the line!

so many good ideas in the last couple of pages but be honest... you'll all end up in Emos :laugh:

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

but seriously..... who wants to be caught in a Jaaaaaaag.........under 50?

let alone modify one.....

look @ ur link - youtu.BE, make sure it's proper link and it works automatically.

youtube been producing odd links lately :(

An XJS ran in 94/95ish era. Most memorable thing, sparks and flames flying out of the wheel spokes at the hairpin at Symonds......after 1 lap. Must have done a fair bit of field and fence work during the afternoon stages - day 4. Don't think it was a good year for British racing green, 2 tonne pussy requiring some overnight heroics at Burnie too, if I'm remembering my years.

There is a bloke locally who has all the tricky bits after being Jag driver of the year worldwide and given boxes of parts, he''d want Gallardo money for them though, if you that attached to oil leaks.

To set the cat among the pigeons, an 037 Lancia looks like it can run classic in SS :rofl2:. One that was out here in the early 80s and failed to find money to run in the ARC, returned a year or two back too.

Maybe it's time I pulled the"Two Ton Pussy" out of retirement and ran it again

I was disappointed you didn't dust it off this year!

I just got the RX-7 back from the bodyworks and had forgotten just how high SP wings were... years ahead of their time in shopping trolley design!... but I reckon the SX-R would give it a run Jeff?!

Not a dry sump no. You can modify the standard sump with traps/gates and/or increase it's volume it to reduce surge

There has previously been a R32 running in the Demo Class (non-competitve) that more than likely did run one.

82. Sump / Oil Filter (except Showroom)

The removable section of the sump maybe modified to increase capacity and internal baffles may be fitted. Sump pickups maybe modified to allow for modified

sump depth. The oil filter element/cartridge/s is free, providing the cartridge fits without modification and does not perform any function other than filtering the oil.

modify the pickup and put gates in the sump and a GT-R will be fine. Our R33 GT-R did 5 Targa's, 2-3 3 day rallys, Eastern Creek 6 hear, and a heap of club day work with no engine problems. When we pulled it out for a check, it had only slightly marked bearing #6

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
