Tarmac Rallying Perpetual Thread

[260DET]

Bugger me, I was researching the Scarab story just the other day, scarey

[PHaT MR30]

Have you heard of the Bolwell Nagari?

There has been a few of them in Targa over the years

[Burgz32]

Perana V8, step aside...

are these kind of shenanigans still allowed in Targa?

Yep good thing's, we have a customer with one of these LHD and all, AASA rule's allowed him to fit an LS1 and 6 speed

wild looking set of alloy arm's under the back of the thing..

Yep I think most of us would know them.

And allowed an LS1 and 6 speed in it? Wow!

[t01-100]

Last time I looked at these it didn't work as Scrarab wasn't connected to Datsun in any way.

There were a heap built from memory though.

What you need is a good rotary.

[Marlin]

I wish you'd jam a rotary down your own throat and choke on it!

SCARY!

I spoke to the chap with the Scarab at Baskerville about 12 months ago, I was quiet interested in his lhd 280Z until he lifted the bonnet to reveal a pushrod engine were once lived an L block.

And speaking of chook cookers still for sale now with new turbo freedoms fit a D9 dozer sized turbo and cook your chooks faster

How many Alex seals you blow while typing that

[Darkside]

Ahhh,

soo much rotor love. I'm keeping my mouth shut as I am sure any tough talk on rotors will only come back to bite me in the arse when it self destructs at a really inconvenient time.

For your amusement....

[sav man]

I just read the Ric Shaw is running in Showroom AWD, are him and warren changing places?

[Marlin]

I for one hope it all goes well for you Blaise and that you take it to the Porsches!

THC.... who's going? I'm doing "00" again, and will be driving up there Thursday PM with Captain Fathom, primed for festivities

[paulR32gtr]

Kat and I are there with bells on. Heading up Wednesday arvo in first rally over preparedness.

Will no doubt catch you there Wooster!

[Marlin]

Sweet as brew! Gives you some extra recce time

[Darkside]

Cheers Woo,

i really hope it works out, but gut feel is I had a pretty lucky run with the evo and it was a robust, reliable fast car. I think I might be out of my depth with the Rotor, but I do like a challenge.

For anyone interested, am collecting the shell this week. In the background I have been chatting to some people in the know about the suspension. We got as crazy as looking to graft as much of an FD into it as we could, but I decided that was WAY beyond our capabilities. Have scaled back to not reinventing the wheel and doing a V8 supertaxi spec live axle rear end in it and updating the front end. Go as light as possible and try to get a strong reliable 350 odd hp turbo rotor for it..... dreaming I know. Reliable and rotor dont really belong in the same sentence:)

Really wish I was coming to THC. The missus and I had such an aweosme time last year and are both a bit sad we arent there this year. Best of luck to all those taking part. Wlll be living the dream vicariously following it on the internets.

I'm keen to come up for a chin wag at some stage but not 100% sure I'll be able to do so.

If I can make it I'll see if I can drag MrRB20 up and we can have some prelim discussions on Euro 2012 Woo.

You're not in Melb for any length of time are you in case we can't make it?

[Marlin]

Mate no I'm not hanging around. Gotta get back to work pronto.

Would be awesome if you guys could make it.....

[PHaT MR30]

Woo claims he has to work, but really he is just swanning round the peninsula on his jetski preying on unsuspecting little girls... or boys lol!

[260DET]

A few old Datto Z cars including Jon Siddens will be there for THC, hope they can stick it up a few 'non ABS equipped' Porkers. Well maybe they might have a chance against the 'budget', under $200000, ones
