Oh goodie, 6 speed conversion stuff has just turned up. :dance:

[snot35]

Yikes, serious kit!

[towe001]

Just watched the night video....... you pair are crazy.

 

Congrats on the placing in the sea of evo's. Bet you guys would have been chuffed with a rwd sticking it up to the awds !

 

 

Finely been able to get over to craig's for a wheel alignment - guess who's getting my money for alignments from now on.

And got a good look at his celica :P :lovin:

[TRD ke70]

She's a neat bit of kit, he came up on the weekend and helped service, as did Teddy and Justin.

He knows his stuff when it comes to wheel alignments, after all, we drive all the way from brisbane just to get him to do it.

He's also getting a set of motorsport scales very shortly, we could be up there alot more..

 

Tony and Debbie also got a trophy for Most spectacular,

Hopefully Craig didn't see the drool :lol:

 

Yep, i can understand why you guys come all that way. Most of the stuff he did on the car, like weights on the drivers floor, bouncing the car, i've never seen anyone else do it. Money well spent i say.

Here's another video from last weekend :

After our first rally season with the new Corolla, we have managed to take out Sportsman A and Club Rally Car title. :rocknroll:

It all came down to the last round that was ran a couple of weeks ago.

All sportsman crews had to complete 15 stages, which we did, but our competiton didn't.

 

Well done to Tony and Deddie, :yes: and a big thank you to Craig,Teddy and Justin for all your help servicing. :hail:

Really looking forward to the 2013 season, with the new 6 speed, weight reduction, rebuilt shocks and a few more tweaks, the 2WD rally master series should be fun.

 

[Medicine_Man]

Awesome news!!! Lots of hard work has gone in to the rally car and it shows in the results..

 

Always glad to come service for you guys and look foward to the new season!

 

Has given me lots of inspiration for my toys :P

[TRD ke70]

Tony and I really appreciate all the hard work you, Teddy and Craig put into the car servicing to get these results. :yes:

do you know how much does your cage weight?

[snot35]

Weight reduction? How are you going to get more out of it?

[TRD ke70]

I have no idea what the weight of the cage would be, pretty lite compared to what's out there.

It's a MANZ approved rollcage, not a CAMS approved cage, so it has a 38mm main hoop and not 44mm main hoop.

I'm guessing this would make a bit of a difference in weight.

 

Michael, the car still hasn't got lexan windows, and then there's the innner door frames and winder mech's that can come out after the windows go in, at a guess, about 20kg's.

[TRD ke70]

Well have slowly started on the six speed conversion, had to buy some bolts for the bellhousing to gearbox because the helicoils they use on the conversion are 1.5 pitch.

 

Gave the bell housing a much needed bath.

We're going to dummy fit the G/B to the car so we can make the gear shift and x member.

The old box will be out of the car by the weekend.

Close ratio gear kit has been ordered and should be here in the early new year.

 

 

[altezzaclub]

Looks like an argument for a complete Altezza motor and box conversion package.

 

If anyone ever runs up the back of my Altezza....

[snot35]

Except it would make his new shiny bits redundant.

 

I don't disagree with your comment, you just need to work on your timing altezza ;)
