Yeah Mel I get around a bit. Marc said you were having fun organising interclub teams. I am hanging to drive my new beastie. I have 9 days until scrutineering and it is still being tuned and then it needs some more suspension fine tuning. That will leave me probably just under a week to get it up to scratch for scrutineering and get some serious seat time in it. Doh! Hope my nav is up to scratch.

 

Craig

Oh yeah, you wanted those notes... I kinda forgot.

My car is falling apart at the zip-ties

 

Aren't all AE86's? :)

The AE86 bilongum to the White's. Ex Rally car from down on the Coast. Very nice unit, Red too! :)

Hey Craig, at least you're not doing a rally the week before. Anyone for helping me rebuild the car next week? :)

I can help if you trust my dodgy workmanship :) (and if I don't break my car beforehand...)

i would be privileged to watch if its on a weekend or after school !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - thats if u wouldnt mind...

As posted on RedlineAu:

 

Entry list

 

On top of that there is another V8 and a Lancia Beta!

 

I can't wait :)

Redwarf will definitely need your help after such a HUGE weekend and massive wear and tear on the car....

Rob (or Mel): Let me know when you would like some help and if I can I will be there :) Hal is mostly sorted (apart from broken exhaust) so I should be able to help out...

I have started a new thread, check it out to read the woes!!!

Exhaust is fixed, person who built the exhaust tried to blame my engine mounts and/or gearbox mounts for my constantly breaking exhaust, didn't want to even take in the possibility that *maybe* it might be bad design on his part that there's so much stress on it. Anyway, he's just re-welded it back, let's start a poll to see how long it'll last before it breaks again...

There ya go

Car is stickered up:

 

 

Going to test out different tyre pressures tonight, was running 36/38 last night and it's still sketchy as all hell. Dropped it to 34/36 before I went to bed, will probably drop it down again to 32/34 tonight before I go out, and if that's still a bit "meh" I'll drop it down to maybe 30/32.

 

Then final check and prep, and it's ALL GO FOR TOMORROW!!!

 

Sad news, Mick Jones in the STi has pulled out, car not ready :) That should make the event even more interesting, who's going to win? A big favourite is Harry in his Datto1200, but then there's also Redwarf and then there's the car Mel's navigating in (turbo Swift) that is blindingly quick... And there's the Hillman Hunter always seems to do very well... And then ther's that turbo Fiat 131 that pulled like 205hp at the same dyno I pulled my 69 from...

Good luck fook!!! I know you'll have a ball!!

 

and hey if you can't get traction at least you'll have style
