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

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
