Dont help this year, but we will be looking at these sorts of events next year... However the k's / $ and relative to distanc hauled is always a consideration. These events are critical, because they are ideal tests for the bigger shows.

Rally Tas struggles... and that is one of the best value for money events in the country. Plus it uses some Targa stages. Why more people dont use it as Targa Test I dont know... yet Targa West Point is fully subscribed. Biggest problem is AASA v CAMS rules me thinks.

You would likely be more in the know than I, but ive heard that due to low numbers its likely Rally Tas will go gravel and be based on the original Southern Safari ARC event (as an ARC event)? Would be a shame, I reckon Rally Tas is a great event, great roads and burnie is a great place to hold it.

What you mean more in the know... You Nav broad minded persons get all the good gos! I feel a bit sorry for MSR as they bought a brand that was on the way down and couldnt turn it around. There is a big conflict when you are trying to run a round of the ARC in Tassie and keep it on Tamac.

I think CAMS needed to tow the Octagon line and not let ego's get in the way... Then we would have one set of rules, and in a shrinking market the best rallies on Tarmac would be supported.

We are just doing a tear down for rebuild... and either build a AASA weapon (CAMS cheater) or CAMS compliant (AASA non competitive) thiing.

Personally I think they both have it wrong, and somewhere in the middle would be good.

Anyhow I digress... The big W is off the gaspers!!!

And I cant wait to do some of these types of events (inc road trip for the crew). Can do 3x per year for the price of Tugga.

in a shrinking ecconomy and budget pull back... I think that is the way to go.

Love the way the Auto Mod changed 5Lut5 to "Broad minded Persons LOL

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      Blue slip

      By PranK · Posted

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
