POO Rides Again

  Got the rally car out for its first Khanacross in 7 years! Was consistently second fastest to MR2 special but WD'd on the last flag of the first run, doh! Think I need a navigator.
 Ooo, going to be close!
 
Phew. Missed it!
 

 

Tar's for getting there. Dirt's for racing!

That looks like a lot of fun! :)
Have you posted up any pics of your new motor? I'd like to see the injection set up :)

Some great roosting there at 2.20 :) How good is that fuel injection? Instant throttle response!

Finally got through our busy period at work and managed to get to the 1st round of the NSW Rally Sprint Championship at Armidale. Great compact event and a nice bit of road. It was a good social weekend with most of the crews staying in the woolshed style accommodation East of Armidale where the event was based.
It was great for us as a couple of fast Datsuns blew up and we managed first in class and 8th outright. POO went brilliantly and it was great to have a chance to open it up and let it stretch its legs.

Some new goodies have arrived in the post this week. My smiths temp gauge died after the first stage at the last rally sprint which left me pretty nervous for the rest of the day. Bought a new stack gauge from Demon tweaks whose service was excellent. Also decided to bite the bullet and get a new tacho as well.
 
Quick vid of our run through the specy point attached.

Whats the tacho for, to set the idle speed. Or are you intending to do some black top driving where you get plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and look at guages...lol

lol. Yeah, that's why I haven't bothered to date.
The old one jumps around like a kid on caffeine though. Will be interesting to see what I've actually been reving it too.

mario
what diff ratio are you running
2014/05/22 22:08:49

Hi Mario. Diff is a BW78(?) with a 5.1 lsd. Box is close ratio straight cut type 9. She tops out at just under 100mph.

Our club hosted the 4th round of the NSW Rally Sprint series yesterday.
I threw away my 10 year old tyres, threw in a highly experienced navigator and a little local knowledge, and surprised everyone (not least myself) by winning out right by 55 seconds from Nathan Quinn.
The new set of Dunlops were a revaluation, she could really put her new found power down and I couldn't believe how hard I could tip her in.
Awesome fun!

After a frantic race to get to the first round of the NSW Rally Championship in Glen Innes last weekend, things seem to start out well with the second fastest 2wd time by 1 sec on the first stage.
 
Unfortunately shoddy workmanship on my part led to rear brake failure (the left rear calliper fell off.......) and this

Sorry to see that.
 
Will you rebuild and get back amongst it?
