Who's keen to enter Bathurst 12hr?

[edo]

2008 is a brand new year...and it gives me some time to see what I might be able to wangle.

[bv]

man you made me go lap it a few times in v8 supercars on the xbox, how much fun would it be to do the real thing? Big number to do it though, wow.

(I find out next weekend if my team a go for the 24 hours of LeMons) and I have my eye on a $450 head gasket special 'peoples ferrari' mr2 on craigslist

It says NC/ND...wtf is ND?

How bout a 350z?

..............

Even I would'nt have a go in a 350Z, unless the latest one is completely different to the one I drove around QR. S15

[edo]

Whats wrong with a 350z?
Ive driven 2, one was a stock anniversary model but I only drove that in town...the other was a twin turbo which was fantastic but hardly relevant

[260BC]

Compared with my ex turbo 260Z the 350Z was s-l-o-w and felt funny in the corners. Probably some interfering computer gadget.

[edo]

lol, best road test evar.

Comparing it against a car you developed specifically to suit you FTL

2008?....hhmmmm....would the regs allow a marque sports car? what constisutes 'production'

[edo]

Cal posted the regs but the short answer is errm...No chance!

[Nero]

OK, I'll have a look elsewhere. I'm on a secure network and cannot look at the regs.

[edo]

Oh, ummm, basically if youre thinking Godiva then dont think too hard.

[Cal]

The vast majority of Marque Sports (or Production Sports as they are known now) are not eligible, as you will see when you have access to the regs.

Cal.

[Nafe]

You cant make a legend out of me anyway so that doesnt matter.

Bill, I'll send him a note, thanks

Steve, will do!

The reason I thought of the Type R civic is that absolutely bog stock it would be ok...you could even leave standard seats & suspension in it. Oh, its also going to have only done 10,000km so it wont need everything rebuilt like an old satria. Or worse an old RX7.

Seriously give up on thinking that you could win a class & think about something that will keep going for 12 hours...finishing that will have you well placed outright.

I had the chance to buy Kosi's old Satria many moons ago..... he wanted $20k, and ended up selling it for $13k - Recaro seat, Ralliart LSD, Proflex shocks etc etc. That car properly maintained would still be a weapon in it's class. The one I am thinking of currently was only built at the start of 2005, so it's still fairly tight (built from a demonstrator car by the same guys who built David Russell's championship car), and wins it's class when it does appear...... besides, it's eligible where the Civic is not

[itsnotagsr]

Are any of these Nigel Williams' old championship winning Satria?

Bill - if there any more of those $5k 24hr seats going let me know!

[Nero]

Oh, ummm, basically if youre thinking Godiva then dont think too hard.

Oh, ok, I was going to offer you a car for free...

[Nero]

ok read the regs...no hope!
