Well, hot on the heels of the first Dutton Rally event, its been confirmed that the next one will be on the June long weekend next year, 4-6 June.

Just thought I'd post up to guage interest from the club in joining in. For 2 drivers with top line cheater tyres you should allow up to $2k each for the weekend.

The earlier you start preparing, saving and approaching sponsors the easier this can be :)

So, who's interested? If there are more than about 5 entries I'll loby those guys for a 6 cylinder Tubro class so we can beat up XR6Ts in peace :)

Yes you only need a level 2s licence:

I dont think Id go for sticky tyres next year, Im going for better tread for the skid pan stuff (Save $1,600)

The best way to get sponsors is to contact companies that you do business with. Dont expect someone that does not know you to give you money, esp not speed shops tyre co. etc. I prepare a package with pictures of my car and send them to people in charge of Companies that I know.

In return for their tax deductible donation they get framed pictures of *their sponsored race car*. I ask for $1,100 per sponsor, which covers them for all the events I do each year. I can normally get $5,500 to $7,700.

I also split the entry fee and accomodation down the middle as after all they are using my car, wheels, tyres, petrol, consumables etc. Strangely enough my co-drivers always seem to be able to wring more out of my car than I can. (Other peoples cars go faster syndrome)

Hey guys!

Fatz is already frothing at the mouth over next years Dutton. The enthusiasm is infectious! I think I've caught it!

I've just gotta find some people stupid enough to sponsor me and someone stupid enough to co-drive a bloody WRX. Any takers..........................thought not! :bahaha:

Seriously though I'd love to be there in 2004. I'm getting plenty of practice in on the skid pan!

Cheers,

Ben

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
