Just incase you didn't know Mark Webber isn't the only one this year to get a good drive in international motorsport. The other is Chris Atkinson, who just got a drive with Prodrive in a WRX World Rally Car to compete in the majority of the events for the 2005 season.

Go for it Chris :D

good coverage? the ITV coverage that channel ten show is excellent. I like having a chick do most of the commentating too, she is good. plus they have those excellent computer graphics they use to good advantage (like when they overylay two cars so you can see the different lines two drivers take and where one is quicker than the other). back on topic, it's good news for atkinson.

Not too much glamour associated with rallying.

Hard to find good coverage, dirty spectator sport and hard to do/practice.

Awesome skill involved though...

Oh, and no skyline rally cars.  

Hope he does really well. You dont get too many opportunities at that level.

man that is a good trick. you posted on 8/1/05 and today is only 7/1/05. nice one :D

amazing what $4 million aus will get...

But, hey good on him if you can and best of luck to him. Hopefully he will be a better success than our last great white hope but I can only *guest* that.hehe

Shame they juggled the whole ARC calender around so he could do the World Production Cup and now he isn't...:P

Cheers

Ken

    • 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  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
