i have competed in the 2003 dutton rally ,,, it was fantastic... well i prepared the RENAULT CLIO SPORT it was the crowd favourite at the spc carpark... came second to the mini cooper s .. a very well preped race car ,,, we ran on street trim only to change air filter , brake pads and we took out the cat ,,, (cuz there crap) the clio was a animal.. it buzzed around overtaking lotuse elises..(X2) of them,,, but the king of the event was the black FULL RACE 32 GTR .. all the porsches died in the ass ,, gt3 turbos carreras. all karked it.... anyway i am interested but i wont be able to make it ,,,

hey menios, depending on the exact mix of events, something like a clio can be a top 10 chance too - the NSW event had heaps of wet skidpans, and big hp RWD cars get caned in events like that unless they have traction control.

mmm, FULL RACE 32 GTR....not a bad idea :)

appartently it will be under the xmas tree. not much use if I'm, still in Alice :D

BTW good interest so far, 11 names, that would be a great representation for SAU. Anyone else interested?

np Zane, there is no requirement for fireproof clothes so bikinis are OK.

Dan, I'm sure Kel will be in that, they'll probably have more luck with sponsors than the rest of us put together lol

I'll be back as event photographer again next year for both events - as well as the Mt Buller Sprint, so if anyone wants some sponsor images - let me know..

Apart from that Jason's put together some great pics from the Dutton for us....

And we've got another 150 high res photos as well, great for exposure for our sponsors....

I was just speaking to Anthony Moss (NSW Director) today and he said that he already had nearly half the field confirmed for this years event. There has been no advertising or promotion of this years event, (they have been concentrating on the Porsche Mt Buller Sprint (on this weekend) and the response and confirmation has been enormous so far.

Official NSW launch will be in the next couple of weeks and the website will be updated etc. - so make sure you get in early as they will start to flood in as advertising starts and more people become aware of the event.

NSW Event

VIC Event

8th to 10th August 2004

Slight error - Vic is 6th to 8th August 2004!

I'm in talks currently to be possibly SAU's only Vic representative! I've been in contact with Sam Beck from VicDutton and I'll get my car onto the track (Phillip Island) for the first time Feb 15. If everything goes well then I'm very keen to give it a shot.

And if so I might have to come up to Syd and have a chat to you all during NSWDutton for some extra tips.

Cheers. :P

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
