Rally destroys cars, so be prepared for that.

Basically cos your flogging the sht out of it in the dirt, which wears everything out even faster. You measure wear and tear with hours not k's.

I could never handle going that fast in the forest with the trees whipping past....... scary.

On a bike i feel fine though, its different.

Get a good cage.

[Anfanee]

Get a sigma. I learnt to drive on the farm and it just kept taking the hits.....

TIll my cousin hit a tree.

[zebra]

Yeah pretty much anything will do...

So long as parts are plentiful and cheap

Ie you will need to have spare suspension arms, wheels, radiators etc

Also, need to be friendly with a local panel guy

But would be a brilliant way to learn how to maintain a car.

I had a Cordia a Mate and I were going to rally...unfortunately it had too much rust and both of us lacked the time to do anything with it.

[Anfanee]

Going to see Wayne Brady tonight, Mad.

[Got a Pulsar]

I don't do Motorbikes but this is insane.

378.3kw at the Wheel.

[Trozzle]

99% unusable in any legal way. Haha I can't appreciate high powered bikes. So pointless.

This. cool to see but you can't use it for anything.

[RosieR34]

Dyno bike !

[D.I.Y. Mik]

When a stock or mildly worked R1 can wheelie anytime up to.... i dunno 260? or something, whats the point having more power?

Its not a drag bike now, but i bet it will be modified soon, the owner will realize its the only way to feel the extra power.

I remember when Mick Doohan was riding 2 strokes in GP, they had a bike that was too light and they made worse lap times.

[Anfanee]

My mates zx10r could do 180 in first gear. They are nuts.

[Anfanee]

Infact google Ghost rider and have a look at how nuts they can be.

[Manuel Kasko]

Watched heaps of ghost rider vids, his a hectic bloke ay

The idea was to buy charade or something equivalent and put a half cage in, strip the interior and just bolt a nice bucket seat in. Then enter as many events as possible.

Can't believe that event was $40! Sounds like so much fun!

Thanks for all the info guys, sounds like there is plenty of access to it in Canberra which is good.

Forget a half cage if you're thinking about rallying, full cage is the only way you want to go.

Get good harnesses, seat, helmet and a HANS device.

What ever car you buy, buy two of them.

Don't get anything with bigger than, or smaller than, a 15" wheel.

Find something with VERY long shock movement.

And lastly remember... Lots of fun!

And Zeb the other reason that cordia didn't get off the ground is the engine fell out of it...

[zebra]

hhahaha

that and you wouldn't buy it a 4G93T

[MBS206]

hhahaha

that and you wouldn't buy it a 4G93T

I'm totally not made of money

[B-rice]

Anyone know a good place to buy some Michelin (265)/(275)/35/18. Under $650 for a pair or AD08 or something close excluding federals as theyre a nightmare in the rain.

[Manuel Kasko]

Lol the federals are seriously a nightmare in the rain aren't they! I can hardly get around a corner with them on

[Sinista32]

lol - I don't mind em. I have had a lot worse but also better ones too.

You do need to keep to the speed limit in the wet though on the Feds.

I certainly wouldn't use them in the wet on race day.
