Hi there, this used to be the main spot to buy and sell stuff for 1200 in Australia, is this still the best option? I am getting out of rallying after many years and all things 1200 and have lots to sell.

It just seems very quiet here compared to the old days. Thanks Damien. I will put a proper advert up once I know the story.

Have not been on the site for a couple of years, but came across this video in my archives (we still have the car though). A short blast from a few years ago. Some on here will find it atrocious that a 1200 could be treated this way, others will just love the sound of the webbers.

Cheers

Yeh in-car is so cruel - you come through a corner with a perfect scando flick (well almost)and a nice drift into a corner and the in-car looks like a little twitch to left and then a slight twitch to the right.

Also the uphills, if it looks uphill on incar, it's probably like climbing a mountain.

Anyway, it is still truck loads of fun...

It was mounted with a dodgy, $10 suction cap thingy- looking at better options now to hold it nice and still and be CAMS compliant.

For those that are interested, we were entered in a rally late last year and testing an Iphone APP that records stages (called StageLogger.com.

Anyway, this is stage one, with the poor 70hp Datto being abused.

This is probably the most fun stage in Canberra - about 20 something Kms of constant twists and turns, cliffs and big gutters on the inside.

All fun.

Thanks for doing these, they should be fun.

Looking seriously at the SR20DE VCT S14 conversion. Need to stay NA.

If I don't have power assisted brakes, will this engine slide in the same as a SR20DE from a S13 silvia. Any tricks I need to be aware of. Will a stumpy gearbox bolt up without modding the clutch etc. Can I still get away with no firewall or trans tunnel mods.

Have tried search, but can't seem to find the good threads I have read before about the SR20 conversions, any links would be greatly appreciated.

ps. How much extra weight in a SR20 compared to an A15.

There are a couple of bits where you will max out for a second or two (as they are downhill ). No, I wouldn't change it. We had a slight loose toward the top of 5th, that fortunately worked out well (never back off on the top of a crest with a locked diff...!)

We are running a 5 speed, with a 4.87 rear ratio. Mostly only just touching 5th. There is actually allot of variation in the roads(which is good), so there will be no "one" perfect set-up. A few guys last year were commenting about the continuing surface change on stage 6. Personally I thought it was heaps of fun, sand, clay, ball bearing stones, back to slippy clay etc.

Yep short event for us, mainly because of cost, but also service crew etc.

Hope this helps.

ps. I should mention that the organisers reckon the roads are not the same as last year, but you would have to guess that they are basically the same, run in different directions and maybe joined up a little different.
