love ke70 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 If it doesnt comply with CAMS regs, why are you going to do it? cheers, andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD ke70 Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Very good question young grasshopper. It does comply with CAMs club rally car reg's, but we are going to do the AASA/AMSAG 2WD rally master next year. We've decided to take the Corolla around the easten part of the country. It's been fun playing in QLD but it's now time to see how good the car and driver are against the rest of Australia. Also Craig Aggio with the Group B Celica is going to be doing it again as well. The change to a 6 speed gearbox is the best thing, the old box was good but even with a close ratio kit, it would still be lacking in places, with is box we get the best of both worlds, 5 close gears and an overdriven 6th, so we keep our top end.

TRD ke70 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Six speed box is now in bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love ke70 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 why? new gear set? you could not have possibly killed it already... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD ke70 Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Yeah, we're replacing 1st and second gear, too short for the rally car. Only problem is Alburns have a 18 month wait, so we're looking around for someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snot35 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Pfitzner in Adelaide does gear cutting too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD ke70 Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 We found Par in Sydney, think that's what their called. Quite cheap too and have done J160 gears before as well. But thanks for the suggestions guys.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleRedSpirit Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 That video was cool. I like the static cameras that emphasise the speed of the rolla. Looked like it aquaplaned the creek a bit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19914afc Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 What kind of average speed are you doing over a course? Looks like you're going pretty fast! This makes me want to build a rally car but looks like alot of work and money to go out there and race reliably without something breaking as looks ALOT more harsh than just going out and racing on the track.

altezzaclub Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Rallying lets you race cheaper cas with more variables than racing, where to get that little extra speed rapidly becomes very expensive. If you want to be winning your class and coming in the top 10 then what is written in here is the only way to do it. If you want to have some fun for a year and then decide how serious you are it can be far cheaper and easier. Put a couple of grand into suspension and a cage and go for it! All you need is a 5K or 5K rebore of a 4K and a semi-locked welded diff. Thiry years ago the guy I rallied with & I wrote a series of articles called "The $1000 Rally Car" for a club magazine. I'm sure nothing has changed really, but the price has gone up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
