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

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
