Would this be of any interest, Scotsman?

http://winterrally.ballarat.net.au/

Maybe SAUVIC could enter a 3 car team?

Perhaps...

So is this event similar to dutton in that it's a total event with lots of sub events?

It sounds like there is two events running simultaneously with an observation rally running with a touring rally.

Do these guys close off any cool road sections or anything like that or is it just drive from one motorkhana to another?

Me too man. Have you got much left in the AO50s? I wanna see you get a 35 if the tyres are still good.

there is a fair amount left on them. i will be shitty if i cant break a 35.... but im just pulling numbers out of my ass.

hopefully it is dry... none of this intermittant crap. i wont complain if it pours all day... winton is SO much fun in the wet.

watching some of their vids it looks like you could blow them away in the gemini :happy:

Great effort guys, congrats on the win. Ryan, top stuff mate, awesome times at PI and HH. Go the S13!!

Thanks mate, just bridging the gap till you get back... any news on yours??

AND CAR 39!!!! :(

ah yes, who can forget a 1.46 in a stock car on street tyres.

Thanks mate, just bridging the gap till you get back... any news on yours??

Haha I don't think so, I may be chasing you for a while!

My never-ending-story of a car will hopefully be back over the next few weeks. The engine is out of it again with oil pump dramas, so I've bought a new one and it's being machined and installed at the moment along with a new set of big end bearings. The rest is pretty much done, so it's up to my engine builders to get it back, then bolt it in, tune it and off we go... hopefully... :P

Hey guys,

Just a heads up that all the images are now online - www.atcphotos.com

there was a delay with getting the Lang Lang images on-line due to Holden needing to approve them all first.., but they are alll approved now.

all images are at 800x533pixels in the main galleries, but the Hires section has 1960x1360pixels ( just click on the "FULL SIZE" icon above the image.

Cheers

Jason

Thanks mate.

So when is Winton Ryan? I dont have many lap around the place, i have done more from the passenger seat doign driver training :D But a 36 is 100% possible without all that many laps, so i have my fingers crossed that with some decent weather and 14-16 laps to get dialled in you can get well into the 35s :D COME ON! :)

We need a winton thread. its going to be HUGE! with the way the car handles at the moment god knows how it will actually go... its very different to the way it use to be, im thinkin its because the rear end is now all sweet.

4 weeks, your car could be done and your probably due for some time off... how bout it?

I have no idea, but yeah as of seeing the vids, it doesn't look that hard ( :blink: ). I was thinking of entering the Superfunhappyracingswift, but it's FWD and the GF is not up to navigating speed....yet :laugh: (plus i'll be OS when it's on)

It looks like a Rally event on tarmac....just navigate your way to each special stage, and then complete on motorkhana kinda stages then off to the next location for the next motorkhana stage.

Motorkhana and navigating skills look like the order of the day. :P

But next year i'll be entering....providing the Swift is gone :laugh:

Havent given my car a thought since Dutton, so no clue where it is at and care factor is pretty low since i am going to be OS for some time to come...lol project has copped further commissioning delays so how does November now sound :D. So no way i can make it back to Aus...perhaps when i am up for a new visa but even then now that you are setting some good rwd times i am happy to sit back and let you settle my arguments :)

Ah Troy, just throw me the keys, I'll let you know how deep into the 35's I get.

You know you want to... :D

Jak if you could fit into it then no issues with trusting you with the keys. As for Ryan, no way. The guy has an appetite for breaking rear ends, gearboxes and other wierd stuff. I suppose thats the price for going quick

LOL how quickly we forget a particular round at PI a while ago :D

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol.
