Man, you've got some toy's!!!
Did you get the Big bore blaster started Boost??, How's your big bore Scando (that sound's a bit personal!)
Did I see a green 910 driving through the middle of town on Friday??
If anyone is up the Coast on Saturday, It's looks like we are going to get a HUGE entry for the come and try Rally, including the spectacular DatsunLTD. It all starts at the Yolla Tavern, behind Somerset/Wynyard at mid day. If you want to help out by doing a road closure etc, please send me a PM, and i'll sort it out! There will be a heap of Datsuns including bellowing R30 Sylines, 180B SSS's, Bluebirds (including, hopefully, an SR20 turbo powered one), we should also have Cody Crockers 2005 Aust. Championship winning WRX as our Zero/Sweep which will be worth a look(If you like that sort of thing??) and of course the legend'ry Leeroy in his Mighty 200B 2.4l weapon......Gee I've talked it up!!

Sounds like a very nice garage boost!
So how did the rally go? Is it true that you only need a road registered car, a helmet and that's about it to run?
The Z is back together and running but is blowing a little bit of smoke. Hopefully this will go away once the rings bed themselves in properly but we'll have to wait and see. I was going to run it in sunday but the track was booked for bikes so it looks like it might get a run in session on the dyno one night this week.

Had a run on the dyno tonight. It's still blowing a bit of smoke out the breather but none out the exhaust. The more we run it the better it gets so hopefully it'll be fine. power was about the same as the old engine on +15 timing where we were running the old engine on +20. With a bit of luck it'll hold together long enough to get a few meetings in. Fingers crossed

Sounds like a very nice garage boost!. yeah it has its days where u just want to get rid of the lot though i am by no means rich so i have to do all the work on my own the hatchback i built about 10years ago it is an alloy headed 5lt close ratio single rail and 9" that ran 12.9 at tarmac in full street trim stereo,subs,amp etc all still in the car then drove it home. The blue 1600 circuit car has been dragging on for about 18months now but will be at the club day in June ye-ha. the other torana is an excellent 4 door shell in need of restoration and the second 1600 is on the build to be used for khanacross. The SS commodore i have just purchased to replace my old vn wagon that has done 1/2 a million k's as a daily driver and the et is about to get an ohaul ready for my boy who is almost 16 so this is more his car i just have a financial interest unfortunately.

good to see she is ready to roll scando looked the goods last time i saw it prob a good thing you don't have more grunt seems to sit at a really good time bracket for the class you are in.

The Torana sounds like a pretty quick street car Boost. Would be starting to become worth a couple of $'s too I'd imagine. The times for the Z are perfect at the moment. It's good cause it gives me the option of staying in that class and running on a reasonable budget or spending some money and stepping up to targa A somewhere down the track. Not sure what I'll do yet. To be able to run a full meeting with out anything going wrong would be a nice start

Yes, Scando, just a rego'd car, and some basic safety stuff, triangles, first aid kit etc, It's a come and try, so come and try!!! glad to hear the badgirl is up and about again. They all take a lot of sorting out, mine feels like it's going to fall apart after 4 lap's, let alone a full meeting!! keep the head down, and it'll all come togehter. You must be looking ok for the series?? go the green machine!
So did you get a noise out of it Boost?? Marty is running tommorrow in his 1600, he'll keep the boy's honest!! The SS will make a fine tow car, my Mrs drives the worlds most sponge like beige VN wagon!! It's mag's have done a 63 around Symmon's...It's only claim to fame....oh yeah it's also handy for bedding in the Rat's brake pad's.
Coming out for a look Wombat?? DatLTD has the race face on... Oh yeah....Sunnycoupe is a step closer to the track...

Yeah scando she gets along alright was going to be my circuit car until it came back from the paint shop i have had a few good offers and there are about 3 people in line to buy her if it was 4 sale but atm i would like to hold on to it this may change once the circuit bug bites though!
The dato has a fire in her bluerat it was started at about 7:30pm that day i talked to you on the phone ended up porting my head to suit the manifold i have so yours is still intact will bring it with me to the club day thanks m8 was a big help having a back up plan drove it down the street today need to get a tune happening have the track booked for a day coming up so should all be good for June 3.

Glad to hear the come and try rally was a success. Sounds like DatsunLtd had a bit of fun. There's another khanacross on down here on saturday. I don't think I'll have a run yet though. Probably a good idea to get the Bluebird going again before I try to brake the Skyline I have another engine for the Bluey and pulled the old one out on the weekend so it shouldn't be too long before it's alive again. The engine I got is out of a pintara. Can I expect eny problems DatsunLtd or should it go straight in? Good to hear the 1600 is coming to life boost. So will both you and Bluerat be running the club day on the 3rd? Took the Z for a run at Baskerville on saturday. Was doing mid to high 61's consistantly so it's just as quick if not quicker than it was before. It's a bit smokey on decel but it'll do for now. I think the smoke might be the turbo seals anyway. I'll get them checked out after this meeting.

Glad to hear the Zee is cutting a track!! You better line Deane up for a grudge match, I'd love to see that......... By all reports this thing of Boosts will be a weapon!! A couple of his Escort driving mates are trembling in there Loundes Jacket's....I'm pretty keen to try a few changes before our Clubday later on in the year. Here's some shots from Saturday, Sorry no action ones...I was a little busy.... DatsLTD's Bluebird, and the man himself in the helmet... Marty's 1600 and a 'bombadore' And a couple of cool car's....

Post by scando on May 15, 2007 14:00:45 GMT 10
Yeah, it would be a lot of fun. I reckon the cars would be incredibly close! Best time I've done on proper timing is a 61.4. I can't go much quicker than that or I'll be put into Targa A so I'm leaving the car alone for now. I'll struggle to win the series now Bluerat. Mark Perry has a heap of points over me from the races I missed at Symmons. He's always quick too. Love the paint job on Marty's 1600. Glad to see my Z inspired the paint job on your wheels DatsunLtd Is that the Commodore you were in Bluerat? I definately don't think Holden had rallying in mind when they built the VN!

The only thing we had to do was drill a hole in the head for the mechanical fuel pump the Bluebird uses. Everything else fitted fine. Hopefully it works when we get it in the car

Damn that Perry, you better get someone to sabatarge the Skyline......maybe send in the Upper Mongolian secret service???
Hey, the Commadore was o.k, just not what you call nimble.....and we did get beat by 2 Datsun's...she's a bit like sitting in your loungeroom driving your house!!! but over all a lot of fun for not much dollars, and lets face it after the Monaro, a 1600 would be a bit cramped...
Bring on the grudge match.......DatLTD better get the SkyBird going.....go the green rim's.

green rims were to camoflage us if we went bush hehe...
i have made a decision on skybird im sick of it sitting there not goin so i goin to put h 190 under her instead so if any one knows where there is a whole assembly drop me a line. grudge match(bragging rights) sounds good.
an i looking for another bird a neat one i can transform into a REAL rally car, so keep ya eyes out people's i wanna run trs next year so not alot of time to build up.
