supra2 Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Listen to all the jokers. Vent placement is very serious. Much more important than horse power or getting around corners without hitting trees. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corollaart Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 !!!!!ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra2 Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Cheers Rob. The Celica had similar vents and on occasion you could see heat vapour and sometimes oil mist from the catch can drifting out through the vents. We never had any problems with it fogging the screen.

supra2 Posted April 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 OUCH, Hope its not to major to repair. What tyres are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tough_little_ke20 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 New guard, bent bonnet, smashed headlight surround, crushed engine bay shirting and kinked chassis. A mate gave me the rally tires, not sure what they are but their old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra2 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Bugger. Once it bends chassis rails its a bit harder to get straight again. I know some panel beaters wont touch a rally car if its been seam welded. I think I spent a rally season repairing panel damage after each event because I tried to save money on cheap and 2nd hand tyres. The money saved really didnt justify the extra work fixing dents. Bonnet is ready for paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough_little_ke20 Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 In a way the seam welding May have helped, gave it extra strength but I don't wanna do it again all fixed now anyway haha, can't wait to see your 30 done, I'll have to get back into mine soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 hmm... vents... I was thinking of a badly fitting bonnet that sits high at the rear.. Years ago when I had a fibreglass bonnet the rear corners were only a single skin and the reinforcing cut diagonally short across the corner. That left very flexible corners that looked fine when parked but lifted up to let air out when going fast... I should get Steve to come and work with you for a week or two to learn real welding! The tech course was fine if you weld clean steel on a bench while standing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
