Tarmac Rallying Perpetual Thread

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

[sav man]

I can't find the minimum weight for classic cars in the regs. It says lightest for Modern is manifactures advertised weight -10%

[CycloneGTR]

My Series 6 weighs 1250 kg still with sound deadener ready to race, and today only you can take it away for $12500.00 the race/rally bargain of the day. Edited May 27, 2011 by CycloneGTR

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.

you talking rx7? I meant 6 series bmw

[NickR33]

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

[DJRIFT]

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 . 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

Apologies, foolish me, it's got to be the Queen's measure! None of that froggy nonsense.

One of the nice things about yesteryear, was the diversity of makes and models. Nice to go back, pretty hard to swap out of the GTR though I'd bet.

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?!

Datsun 240Z's first and second in the Adelaide Hills classic class, bad crash involving a 911 hitting a tree

[Marlin]

I went looking for some details about that today without luck.......

Can you run a dry sump in a gtr for targa?

Heard of a 32 running one this year.

Keen to hear what category it would be in.

Cheers

[t01-100]

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.

[tk80]

question 2....accusump ok?

[t01-100]

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.

[tk80]

no wonder people buy evo's.

[sav man]

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
